40 Grab-and-Go Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Mornings are easier when you have a few of these grab and go breakfast recipes up your sleeve. Getting out the door with a healthy breakfast in hand has never been easier!

Let’s face it – mornings are no picnic. Between getting kids dressed and fed (not to mention, remembering that today is Crazy Sock Day or Silly T-Shirt Day), packing lunches and making sure the kids’ backpacks are fully stocked with homework, getting out the door on time is never easy.

That’s why I love grab-and-go breakfasts. The kids can eat them in the car on the way to school, saving me precious time in the morning. Whether whipping up a smoothie or having a batch of healthy muffins on hand, these grab and go breakfast ideas will be a life-saver!
