Episode 50: Make-Ahead Breakfasts for Back-to-School

Filed Under:

Breakfast, What to Eat

Share This:

SPOILER: THIS ISN’T WHAT REAL LIFE LOOKS LIKE

Being a fully functioning human at 6 am is hard. As much as the idea that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” has been drilled into our collective consciousness, we just cannot deal with having to feed ourselves and our kids a healthy, scratch meal every morning. That’s why, if you ask us, make-ahead breakfasts are critical to our kitchen game plan. Plus, they assuage that parent guilt.

Listen for all the tips and recipes to get the morning started off right — and quickly too. Back-to-school season or otherwise.

Better Breakfasts with Less Effort

You probably don’t need convincing that having grab-and-go breakfasts on hand make life easier — especially during back-to-school season. But no one, not even us pro-cooks, wants to spend a whole Sunday meal prepping breakfasts.

Arewerite?

In this episode, we share our strategies for stocking your fridge and freezer with well-balanced, made-ahead breakfasts without busting our humps every week.

The Cereal School, keto cereal with zero sugar and high-protein! | Featured at Didn't I Just Feed You, a food podcast for parents (even the ones who don't love to cook)

This week, Meghan is digging the e-book she got from Unyucky Families, The Flawesome Family Meal Book. It’s perfect for family dinner inspiration and only costs $10!

Stacie is giving us high-protein vibes from both her recent cereal purchase AND a brand of pasta she’s giving a second try. If you’re looking for a high-protein, ZERO sugar (and keto-friendly) breakfast cereal, check out The Cereal School.

— UPDATE! Hop on over to our Instagram Stories to get Stacie’s full review of the product. —  

We also both had a chance to check out the new shapes and updated mac & cheese formula from Banza Pasta and Stacie is especially excited to have a high protein choice.

Lastly, Meghan gave us an update on her paper towel reduction plan that she mentioned in our episode on reducing waste in the kitchen. Spoiler alert: She’s loving the Unpaper Towels she ordered from Dot & Army.
