Starting the day stress-free starts with weekend prep. Here’s how to simplify mornings without sacrificing nutrition:

Start by gathering breakfast meal prep essentials. Overnight oats are a great choice: mix oats with yogurt and add chia seeds. Store them in jars for up to a week. Make more than you need, like chocolate peanut butter oats, for quick breakfasts during the week.

Pre-chop fruits and keep them in airtight containers. This makes smoothie bowls or yogurt toppings quick and easy.

Freezer-friendly options open up more possibilities. Wrap egg casseroles in parchment and freeze them individually. Baked French toast and protein pancakes also freeze well. Here’s what to focus on:

• Burrito casserole (55-minute prep) freezes up to 3 months
• Batch-cooked egg cups last 3 days fresh or 2 months frozen
• Muffin-tin scrambled eggs store easily in labeled containers

Batch cooking helps reduce weekly stress. Sunday prep sessions are best:

• Make 8-12 baked oatmeal cups in one baking session
• Prepare protein pancakes in bulk and store in the freezer
• Prep 10 egg burritos for grab-and-go options

Use smart storage to keep things organized. Clear containers with dates help track what’s fresh. Choose recipes with 6-10g protein per serving, like Greek yogurt cups or hard-boiled eggs. Mix frozen and fresh items each week to keep things interesting.
