Weekdays can be crazy-busy, making it hard to find time for a healthy, satisfying breakfast. I recently shared some of my favorite make-ahead recipes over on Elana Lyn. Aside from saving you time and dollars, enjoying a homemade morning meal is a great way to show yourself a little love and makes it easier to stick to healthy habits.

Overnight oats are great, but you can also make a big batch of regular oats and portion out into single-serving containers to reheat when you’re ready for breakfast. I do this all the time. Because I like to pair mine with some fat to make it more satisfying, I’ll throw a single-serving pack of peanut butter (for sweet oatmeal) or do half an avocado or a little tahini for savory oats.

I’m also a big fan of the make-ahead egg sandwich thing because I hate the anxiety that comes with not knowing whether Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts/Panera will have any of my favorites left. First-world problems, I know. As far as health goes, this is also a great way to reduce added sodium intake and customize with healthier options if you’re trying to cut back on bacon and other processed meats often added to breakfast sandwiches.

What are some of your favorite weekday breakfasts?
