They freeze great and heat up quick. </p> <p>Also, pancakes or waffles made with whole grains and a veggie like zucchini, carrots, sweet potato, or pumpkin added freeze really well and can be popped in the toaster in the morning for a quick healthy meal. </p> <p>You can also make breakfast burritos with whole grain tortillas filled with scrambled eggs and sauted onions and peppers, etc. </p> <p>For DH's breakfasts I make sandwiches with whole grain english muffins with an egg quiche inside, and then a "sausage" veggie burger I make from an oatmeal base. </p> <p>Smoothie bags are great too - just stick some frozen fruit and plain yogurt into a ziplock bag, and then when you're ready to eat it dump the whole thing into the blender with some milk and you have a quick delicious smoothie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-breakfast-foods#post-594666 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:34:44 +0000 blackbird 594666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, haha. I've got food on the mind lately!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-breakfast-foods#post-594622 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:24:46 +0000 Boheme 594622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: You are making me so dang hungry today. Tamales, breakfast burritos... haha! If I weigh 10 lbs more at my next OB appointment Monday you're to blame! </p> <p>Seriously though, I *love* breakfast burritos. And DH works a lot of nights and craves breakfast food overnight, so that's a perfect idea for him too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-breakfast-foods#post-594601 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:19:16 +0000 sarac 594601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'd second burritos. I always have some burritos frozen for nights when I'm too tired to cook dinner, and there are a ton of great breakfast options with tons of protein. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-breakfast-foods#post-594489 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:53:24 +0000 blackbird 594489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breakfast burritos; you can freeze them and make them! </p> <p>You can also make egg 'muffins' or quiche </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-breakfast-foods#post-594476 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:49:57 +0000 mediagirl 594476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are my favorite grab and go breakfast: Baked Oatmeal to Go.

I think you can play with the liquid:oatmeal ratio depending on how dry/soupy you like your oatmeal. </p> <p>Also, my family did not like the nuts with it. Just cinnamon and apples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-breakfast-foods#post-594452 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:44:10 +0000 MapleMoose 594452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Haaa great minds think alike </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-breakfast-foods#post-594450 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:43:52 +0000 MapleMoose 594450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this recipe on Pinterest -- Slow Cooker Apple Oatmeal -- but I haven't tried it yet.

Even my mom who doesn't like oatmeal liked this because it tasted like apples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-ahead-breakfast-foods#post-594440 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:40:47 +0000 heartonastring 594440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do make-ahead breakfasts every week. Usually I make crustless quiche with spinach. But I've also made egg casseroles with a million varieties of mix-ins. I make them on Sundays and then just reheat a slice each morning.</p> <p>I usually eat paleo-ish, but for the last two weeks I had mad cravings for oatmeal, so I made overnight oats, which are super easy. Combine 1/3 c. rolled oats with 1/3 c. each of plain Greek yogurt and almond milk (or other milk) and let sit in the fridge overnight. In the morning I toss in fruit and some nut butter. You can eat cold of heat slightly in the microwave.</p> <p>You can also pre-make smoothies and store them in freezer bags, and then just pop in the blender with milk/almond milk/your liquid of choice.

I'm trying to cut down the amount of sugar and breakfast cereal I eat, and add more protein. A bowl of Cheerios every morning just isn't cutting it for me anymore...I get so hungry by 9 a.m.! </p>
