Life gets busy no matter who you are and for many – whipping up a wholesome breakfast is at the bottom of the priority list on hectic mornings. But making breakfast in advance can make the difference between a stressful and a seamless start to your day.
Fresh omelets taste best, but they do require some effort. Fortunately, the bulk of the prep can be done the night before. Simply whisk together a couple of eggs with a handful of spinach, diced tomatoes and onions, shredded cheese and a splash of unsweetened milk. In the morning, the omelet mixture is ready to pour for quick sear in an olive-oil coated skillet.
A healthy breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming, but a little planning and preparation can go a long way. Your future self will thank you for it.
