seven prep-able breakfast recipes
easy, protein-packed meal preps to bookmark + my meal prep essentials
Today we wrapped up my 7 Days of Meal Prep series where I shared one easy, prep-friendly breakfast recipe to make mornings a breeze all week long. Because let’s be honest, breakfast is the meal most of us tend to skip, rush through, or regret later when hanger sets in. Over the course of the week I shared a mix of ideas—sweet, savory, and a little bit of both—that show just how easy it can be to give yourself a little head start in the morning.
Here’s the thing about breakfast prep: it doesn’t have to be a big production. Spending as little as 10 minutes on the weekend (or even the night before) to prep something simple means you’ve taken that decision off the table entirely. And the payoff is huge with more time to ease into your day, less stress around food, and one less reason to grab something random on the go (saving you $$!).
Whether you’re heading back to school, starting a new job, or just trying to settle into a new season, prepping breakfast is one of the smartest routines you can build. It’s low effort, high reward, and the kind of habit that makes everything else feel a little easier. So if you missed the series or just want links to everything in one place, I’ve pulled together all seven breakfast prep recipes below!!

The Round Up: seven prep-able breakfast recipes
Sweet Potato, Maple, and Sage High-Protein Breakfast Biscuits — I kicked off the series with this new dairy-free breakfast biscuit recipe! It’s been HIGHLY requested to do a sweet flavor and a dairy-free version and these babies check both boxes! (of course adding some shredded cheddar on top is always welcome). These take just about 20 minutes of active prep time, pack in about 26g protein per serving (2), and are freezer friendly! I’m actually begging you to make them this week and lmk what flavor I should do next in the comments!!

Cherry Pie Chia Pudding — My tried and true cherry pie chia pudding had to make the cut for this series. It’s no secret I love cherries and chia pudding, so combining my two loves into this easy to prep (seriously it takes 5 min to put together) breakfast is the perfect sweet, fiber-packed option to add to your rotation 👏. These are the jars I use to make and store my chia.

Savory Breakfast Muffins — The most popular recipe in the IG series so far, and for good reason! If you love my breakfast biscuit recipes, I have a feeling you’re going to like these savory muffins. They’re a great way to get in extra veggies and protein—you can easily swap the meat for a veggie sausage to keep things vegetarian and enjoy easy clean up!

Banana Bread Baked Oats — Hellooo dessert for breakfast!! These protein baked oats are truly my favorite way to mix up my breakfast routine, and who doesn’t love a slice of banana bread? This is the protein powder I like to use. Chocolate chips on top are optional but highly recommended. These also freeze well, I recommend using a freezer friendly bag like this one or glass containers to keep everything fresh.

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats — I promise this isn’t the start of fall recipes (yet…) These pumpkin overnight oats are just so good, bookmark it for when you’re ready for the pumpkin craze or need to use up leftover pumpkin puree. Don’t skip the yogurt topping here for protein! You can make it ahead for the week too, and pop a spoonful on each morning.

Broccoli Cheddar Breakfast Bowls — These broccoli cheddar breakfast bowls are a high-protein, make-ahead breakfast perfect for busy mornings. Naturally gluten-free and easy to meal prep, these breakfast bowls can be stored in the fridge or freezer, then cooked in minutes for a hot, filling start to your day.

I’m a firm believer is using what you’ve got, but if you’re looking to upgrade your meal prep tools, take a peek at everything I used for the past 7 days of meal prep. I lean on reliable muffin tins, sheet pans, and tools like my food processor and blender to make the meals. For storage, you know my go-to glass jars, storage containers, and freezer-friendly reusable bags.

Basically, it covers me from morning to night. When you order anything from LMNT with this link, you’ll also get a free sample pack with their most popular flavors so you can find your favorite.
