Quick And Healthy Grab On The Go Breakfast

Missing the most important meal of the day rushing out the door for work or school? With minimal prep time, Sophisticated Standards has 5 healthy recipes for grabbing breakfast on the and go.

Being a parent, we all have shared the experience of the alarm ringing, hitting the snooze button a few times and then waking up in a panic to get the kids out the door for school, let alone get ourselves ready for the day. The worst part is when you piece together an unhealthy lunch or throw a poptart for the kids to eat “breakfast” on the way out. Then the guilt sets in that an unhealthy habit has started and the most important meal of the day is not actually a real meal at all.

We would love to be prepared for everything, but the reality of being a parent is you are going to fall short some days and make mistakes often. Well, dump that guilt and spend an hour on Sunday preparing for the week with all of these easy and healthy options to fuel that precious child’s mind.
