Healthy Grab and Go Breakfast

Breakfast burrito Week days can be so hectic in the morning.  Sometimes I think I’m the only one who is so rushed that it is hard to get everything done before heading out the door.  This morning while waiting for a train, I looked at the car behind me and noticed the man in the car was eating and drinking.  I had just finished my own breakfast in the car.  This made me think that if breakfast in the car is a going to happen often for me, then I should find some healthy options.

The Spend Smart. Eat Smart. website has so many healthy and easy recipes. I can search for some easy grab and go breakfast food.  My daughter keeps her freezer stocked with breakfast burritosBanana bread is easy to make and very portable. I can also find a healthy granola bar for breakfast if I take some time to read nutrition labels the next time I’m at the grocery store.

Another fast breakfast food is fresh fruit.  Bananas and apples are especially easy to transport and eat in the car.  I can toast some whole grain bread and spread some peanut butter on  it for a quick meal. There are so many options open to me if I just take some time to plan ahead.  You can bet that I will be doing that on my next trip to the grocery store.
