The Best Breakfasts to Meal-prep Ahead of Time

THE QUESTION:

What are the best breakfast meals to prep ahead of time?

The ANSWER:

Mini bagel sandwiches topped with ham, cheese, and egg can be made in advance, frozen, and then reheated. Overnight oats or two hard-boiled eggs sliced on a piece of toast provide macronutrient balance. Lastly, think leftovers—a grilled chicken sandwich is great morning fuel. If nothing is cooked, grab a glass of milk or a container of Greek yogurt. Remember, something is better than nothing.
