You want to start the day off right, but with places to go and things to do, who has time to cook up a big breakfast first thing in the morning? While you’re searching our website for kitchen trends, we’ve looked high and low for portable ways to feed a busy family (so you don’t have to waste time or worry). Here are a few of our favorite grab and go ideas.
Marvelous Muffins
If the thought of muffins conjures up images of melted chocolate chips and brown sugar crumb topping, you have a lot to learn! When you use healthy and hearty ingredients like oatmeal, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, bananas, berries, and shredded carrots, you can create a marvelous portable breakfast the whole family will love. But if you really must have chocolate chips, check out this healthy recipe for Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins from Taste of Home.
Exciting Eggs
Portable and packed with protein, hard-boiled eggs are a staple for busy families. But truth be told, sometimes you need to add a little excitement to your morning routine. Mix things up by thinking outside the shell. This Muffin Tin Quiche recipe from Eating Well combines eggs, fresh spinach, smoked Gouda cheese, and red-skinned potatoes, all in a portable package. Other ideas include make-ahead egg casseroles with sausage and ham, or homemade breakfast burritos and biscuit sandwiches stored in the freezer and heated in the microwave.
Overnight Oats
One of the more popular hearty home cooking kitchen trends on Pinterest, you can find a number of recipes for overnight steel-cut oatmeal, including this recipe from My Whole Food Life that includes almond milk, chia seeds, cacao powder, and strong brewed coffee. Just mix all the ingredients in a jar with a lid, let it set overnight in the fridge, and wake up to a delicious and nutritious meal.
