I hear a lot of people say they are too busy in the morning to eat breakfast. Breakfast is essential for giving you sustained energy throughout the day and jump starting your metabolism. I also hear people say it’s too expensive to eat healthy. I have a solution to both problems! These breakfast ideas take minutes to prep the night before and all cost under $1.00. Even stopping at a drive thru fast food restaurant will cost you more time…and money!
I’ve talked before about the benefits of both chia seeds and oats. They provide you with fiber, healthy omega 3 fatty acids, protein, calcium, etc… In short, it’s MUCH healthier to grab one of these breakfasts on your way out the door instead of dragging your body down with a bacon, egg and cheese muffin!
I make mine on Sunday night and have them ready to go all week long, they store well for days!
Here are three ideas but the possibilities are endless!
