4 Easy Breakfast Meal Prep Ideas to Keep You Energised All Day
Looking for healthy breakfast meal prep ideas? You’re in the right place! We’ve rounded up four of our best meal prep recipes to keep you fuelled on busy mornings—perfect for both adults and kids. Who knows? Your new go-to breakfast might be on this list!
Meal Prep Breakfast Muffins: A Protein-Packed Breakfast
Reaching your protein goals has never been easier with egg muffins. These healthy, make-ahead breakfasts are quick to prepare, perfect for busy mornings, and a great way to use up leftover vegetables in the fridge!
Whisk together 6 large eggs with a splash of milk, then add a handful of your favourite ingredients – chopped vegetables, shredded cheese, or crispy bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then pour the mixture into a greased muffin tin and bake for 20 minutes until set. Once cooled, store your egg muffins in an airtight container, like the Pepco Clip Container and keep them in the fridge. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave for a quick, protein-packed meal.
This delicious savoury breakfast meal prep is ideal to make mornings easy and stress-free. They’re also great for kids on the school run—just heat and store them in the Get Fresh Container for a mess-free, on-the-go breakfast!
Overnight Oats: A No-Cook Classic
Overnight oats are the ideal quick and easy breakfast meal prep solution. Even better, they can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge for up to five days in an airtight container—making busy mornings a breeze.
Combine 50g rolled oats with 100ml of milk, then let the mixture sit in the fridge overnight. The oats will be creamy, delicious, and ready to eat in the morning. Customise your bowl with fresh berries, banana slices, nuts (like the Whitworths Seed Snacker Seed Mix), or a drizzle of honey for extra flavour.
Not only are overnight oats nutritious and filling, but they’re also incredibly versatile. For added convenience, store them in our Breakfast Pots, to keep your overnight oats fresh until you're ready to enjoy them on the go!
Smoothie Packs: Blend-and-Go Simplicity
Smoothies are a quick, nutritious, and hassle-free breakfast option, and prepping smoothie packs in advance makes mornings even easier. Simply portion out your ingredients—such as frozen berries, mango, or banana—and store them in resealable bags in the freezer. For an added nutritional boost, toss in a handful of spinach or kale.
When it’s time for breakfast, just empty a pack into a blender, add your preferred liquid—whether it’s milk, juice, or yogurt—and blend until smooth. Pour your freshly made smoothie into our Insulated Tumbler with Metal Straw, the perfect on-the-go companion to keep your drink cool and refreshing while you tackle the day!
Homemade Granola Bars: A Quick & Energising Breakfast
For those busy mornings, homemade granola bars are the perfect grab-and-go option. Simply mix 200g of oats, 125g of peanut butter, and 100ml of honey or maple syrup, then add your favourite mix-ins like 75g of dried fruit such as dates or cranberries. Press the mixture into a lined baking dish like our Rectangular Roaster and refrigerate until firm. Once set, cut into bars and store them in an airtight container for up to a week’s worth of energy-packed breakfasts.
These breakfast meal prep bars aren’t just delicious and nutritious—they’re also a great way to fuel your day with long-lasting energy. If you’re after a ready-made alternative, the Belvita Honey & Chocolate Chip Minis are packed with five whole grains, keeping you satisfied and energised all morning long.
