Whether it’s running the kids off to school or getting yourself to work, mornings can be chaotic. It’s easy for something like breakfast to be pushed aside when so much else needs your attention. And while keeping a stash of granola bars in the back seat or factoring in an extra stop for the drive-through is fine for emergencies, a little quick meal prep can help save you time and money. Whether you’ve only got enough time to pull something out of the freezer to microwave at work or hand the kids a breakfast cookie to munch as they head to the bus.

Egg and Bean Breakfast Burrito
Burritos are one of the best on-the-go breakfasts, especially when they’re packed full of nutrients. These are best as soon as they’re made, but if you’ve got an extra 15 minutes to throw them together, they make the perfect grab-and-go meal. Eggs, cheese, and beans bring sustaining protein while all the veggies help amp up nutrients and fiber. If you do want to freeze them, omit the avocado and yogurt, wrap in plastic wrap or foil, and store in a freezer bag. Warm in a microwave when ready to eat (remove foil first, of course!).
