Monday’s are great days for meal prep inspiration on Instagram, do a search for #mealprepmonday and you’ll find pictures and recipes of make ahead food for the week. Even though, I’m excited about Monday’s they are the worst days for me to wake up, I have a tendency to sleep straight through my alarm. My carpool buddies will text to say they are on their way and I have to tell them, go without me, I just woke up.
To save me from skipping breakfast, I prep green smoothies and paleo overnight oats so it’s pretty easy to bring a healthy breakfast for my commute. I bring sandwich bags of the dry ingredients of the paleo overnight oats to keep at my desk. If I’ve forgotten to eat breakfast, I could always pour the contents of the sandwich bag into a cup, add almond milk (supplied at work) and warm in the microwave.
For a complete breakfast you can have an Apple & Kale Green Smoothie, Bulletproof Coffee and Paleo overnight oats. This is the holy trinity of breakfast for me; veggies, coffee and something warm.
