Breakfast To Go

Once the kids are back in school, households everywhere are bound to experience hectic mornings with little time to get up, get dressed, get fed, and get out the door!

As much as I strive to keep the morning craziness at bay, there are some days when a shoe is missing, an assignment was forgotten, or a shower took a little too long… and that can really throw a wrench in our routine. On mornings like these, we make up that lost time by having breakfast in the car as we drive to school with these grab and go breakfast bags!

Today I’ll show you some grab-and-go breakfast Ideas to help ensure that your kids don’t go to school on an empty stomach. These simple options can be put together the night (or week!) before a busy school morning so kids can grab it and eat on the run. Take a look:

Grab and Go Breakfast Ideas

You’ll need a variety of breakfast foods that come in individual packages. If you have room in your fridge, you can grab perishable foods, but if you’re planning to keep these items in your pantry, here is a list of foods your kids might enjoy –

• Granola bars
• Mini muffins – store-bought or homemade
• Fruit cups – These are best for older kids as they are quite juicy
• Squeezable applesauce – my grocery store had non-perishable yogurts too!
• Fruit leather
• Packaged baked goods – cinnamon rolls, donuts, etc.
• Drink – juice box, chocolate milk, etc.
• Mint – I have my kids brush their teeth before we leave, and then they freshen up in the car with a small breath mint.

Perishable Breakfast Meal Prep Ideas –

These ideas will have to be kept in the fridge and may need a minute or so in the microwave the night before. But made the night before and packaged in air-tight containers, they can be deliciously healthy breakfast ideas or a simple morning snack.

• Fresh Fruits + Veggies – bananas, avocados, sliced strawberries, berries, celery + peanut butter or almond butter, etc.
• Cups – tapioca or chocolate pudding, Greek Yogurt Cups with chia seeds, mixed nuts with coconut flakes, etc.
• Cheese – sliced cheese, string cheese, etc.
• Egg Bites – frittata, freezer breakfast burritos, make-ahead breakfast sandwiches, bacon or sausage breakfast casserole, savory spinach egg casserole, etc.
• Oatmeal – make some overnight oats, or dish out a Tupperware bowl of quinoa with a dash of cinnamon and maple syrup.
• Smoothies – make-ahead breakfast smoothie bags make it easy to toss this into a blender on crazy mornings!

How To Make Them

1. Group a variety of foods together- (ie: granola bar, yogurt, and juice pouch)- and place all the items in a paper bag.
2.  Repeat, as necessary, making as many breakfast bags as you have space to store. Make sure you switch up the ingredients so your kids don’t have to eat the same thing each and every morning!
3. Place all the breakfast bags in a basket or container, then place the basket in your refrigerator or pantry.
4. Now you’re ready to grab breakfast and go!
