Healthy Breakfast Ideas
In this round up of breakfast ideas, I've included everything from breakfast burritos to steel cut oats, breakfast quesadillas, egg bites and more.
You can make most of these breakfast ideas using a sheet pan, a casserole dish, in your Instant Pot, in a skillet or in your slow cooker. The options are endless and most of them involve batch cooking a giant serving and dividing it all up for the work week.
Many of the below breakfast options can be frozen so if you're prepping way ahead you can freeze some of the recipes for later and reheat in the microwave. Just make sure you use your microwave-safe meal prep bowls!

Why meal prep breakfast?
There are so many amazing benefits to meal prepping breakfast! Here are some reasons why you should spend some time each week getting your breakfasts sorted out:
- You'll save time in the morning by having healthy grab and go breakfast options that'll fuel you up for a busy day ahead.
- You'll save money since you're not stopping at the drive-thru or coffee shop on the way to work.
- You'll be more organized each work week, allowing you to focus your mental energy on what truly matters.
- You'll reduce stress since breakfast is ready to go in the fridge (no more struggling to decide what to eat in the first place).

Oats are one of my favourite things to prepare for breakfast! You can make overnight oats for a quick meal prep or bake them into delicious oatmeal cups or cookies. Whichever way you choose to eat them, you're going to love these high-fiber recipes.

More FAQs
Why is breakfast so important?
Breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day and for good reason! A healthy breakfast will help you get in more fruit and veggie servings, balance your blood sugar and keep you feeling energized to take on the day.
Is skipping breakfast a good idea?
Skipping breakfasts can lead to weight gain, a negative impact on your mood and energy, and it could even affect your metabolism and cardiovascular health. Meal prepping breakfasts will help you eat a healthy, nourishing breakfast regularly.
How do you meal prep breakfasts for the week?
I recommend starting by meal prepping one breakfast each week when you're first starting out. If you're more comfortable meal prepping, you can prep another recipe or two so you can make sure your freezer is always stocked with a healthy breakfast.
How do you meal prep eggs for breakfasts?
For best results,I recommend slightly undercooking your eggs when prepping so that they don't become overheated when you microwave throughout the week. Eggs are excellent for meal prepping as they retain most of their texture and taste.
How do you meal prep potatoes for breakfasts?
I love adding potatoes to breakfast bowls! Dice them up, season with olive oil, salt and pepper, then roast them in an oven at 430 F for 30 minutes. Once they're cooked, you can store them in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 3 months. You can microwave them for a few minutes when you're ready to eat.
