Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet it can be so often overlooked. If you are someone who likes to sleep in, that doesn’t excuse you from eating a healthful filling breakfast! There are plenty of breakfast dishes that you can make ahead of time, so you can still wake up late and get something to go.

Oatmeal Cookies

This oatmeal cookie recipe is perfect for breakfast because it gives you lots of energy, a bit of carbs, and protein.

Start by mashing a banana and then add a pinch of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chia or flax seeds. Pour in rolled oats or whatever type of oats you have and stir until a dough is formed. Plop a spoonful onto a baking sheet, bake off for 10-12 minutes, and you have the perfect way to start your day.

If you are someone who doesn’t love their veggies, then starting your day with a smoothie might be the thing for you. Combine any type of dark leafy green like spinach or kale with chia or flax seeds, water, and whatever types of fruit you have, fresh or frozen. Leave it in the fridge overnight and grab it before you go in the morning!
