The best 35 Healthy Meal Prep Breakfast Ideas that make breakfast both easy and delicious. Meal prepping morning meals in advance will truly transform your day and make mornings so much smoother!
When I started working with a trainer and switched to macro based eating (which I love!), meal prepping became essential to my success. Every Sunday I spend 2 hours prepping multiple proteins, veggies, and healthy starches for the week.
My go to make ahead breakfast on most mornings is a high protein overnight oats recipe with Greek yogurt and chia seeds, especially on days I work out since I need an extra carb boost on those days. This usually gets paired with egg white bites or chicken breakfast sausages, both of which get prepped in advance too.
