Busy mornings shouldn’t mean skipping breakfast (hello, unstable blood sugar!) or grabbing a packaged snack. Balanced meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fat keep you energized and satisfied while avoiding energy dips, spikes, and brain fog.

Ideas You Can Make in 10 Minutes or Less

  • Hard-boiled eggs with sourdough toast topped with avocado and tomatoes or sautéed onions/veggies

  • Greek yogurt parfait: Top yogurt with berries, chia seeds, a few nuts, and a minimal-ingredient, low-sugar granola.

  • Overnight oats: Combine oats, chia seeds, protein powder, and almond butter in a jar the night before.

  • Chia pudding: Mix chia seeds, unsweetened nut milk, and a touch of vanilla or cinnamon overnight. Top with berries. 

  • Prep-ahead egg muffin tins: Whisk eggs with cottage cheese, beans, and chopped veggies, bake, and store for multiple servings.

  • Cottage cheese bowls: Savory with chopped veggies (cucumbers, tomatoes, onions) and herbs, or sweet with berries and nuts.

Quick Tip - Prep!

Prep veggies, fruit, and breakfast jars ahead of time. Even a little planning goes a long way toward gut-friendly, blood sugar-stable mornings.
