Go-To Early Morning Breakfasts

I’m a mama that’s always on the go, and that calls for easy breakfasts that I can have on hand or make quickly. When I’m running around taking care of Sage and cleaning up the house, I often don’t have a ton of time to eat breakfast. I wanted to put together some of my go-to early morning breakfast ideas that are nutritious and keep me full. These are things that not only I love, but Sam also enjoys and can grab quickly to eat before he heads out for work.

First, I LOVE overnight oats, and I love that you can prep them the night before and have them ready to grab the following day. There are so many recipes out there, but my favorite is this high-protein one from Ambitious Kitchen! It’s so yummy and keeps me feeling full all morning long.

If I feel like having something similar but am really in a time crunch, I love to grab the Mush Overnight Oats. They come in so many different flavors, but I’ve been loving the Pumpkin Pie and Apple Cinnamon for the fall season. 

Another go-to breakfast of mine is yogurt and berries. I use the coco june yogurt, add berries, and top it off with a little bit of cinnamon and honey. SO good.  If I’m still feeling hungry, I toast a piece of bread and put some avocado on it with a bit of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. This one is my favorite and is perfect for people who don’t have the time *or the skill* for the fancy stuff but still want something tasty and good for you!

TikTok Made Me Do It: Foodie Edition

So much of my “For-You-Page” has been filled with the most delicious food. Every time I scroll on TikTok, I pass recipes that I am drooling over, so I had to try some of the ones I’ve seen over the last few months. 

Emily Mariko’s Salmon & Rice: TikTok made me try this trend. It has been all over my explore page, and I caved and decided I needed to hop on the trend, too. You take salmon and mash it up, and add rice, mayo, and sriracha. You then slice avocado and use dried seaweed to wrap everything together. I have to admit, I get the hype around this trend, and it was soo good! Learn how to make it here.

Feta Pasta: I know this is an older trend, but I’ve made it before and had to remake it again. It is so simple to make! You just add a block of feta, tomatoes, and some spices into an oven-safe dish. You bake it and add your pre-prepared pasta and mix them all together. This is such an easy meal to make – so perfect if you’re on the go. Make this for your husband, and he will be obsessed! Learn how to make it here.

Pesto Eggs: I honestly never would have thought to cook my eggs in pesto, but WOW I was pleasantly surprised. Essentially, you just put some pesto in your pan and fry your egg directly in the pesto. I am so hooked. They are delicious with a buttered piece of toast, too. Learn how to make it here

Trader Joe’s Fall Hits + Misse

As soon as cooler weather hits, I crave food that’s associated with fall weather. My sisters recently tried a bunch of the Trader Joe’s fall items and reviewed them on YouTube check out Brynley and Jensen’s haul! I’ve also been seeing them all over TikTok, and so many of the items looked so yummy.

I went to Trader Joe’s to try some of the items myself and wanted to let you guys know what I thought! Some of the items are must-tries, but others were definitely misses.

My Favorite Items: 

  1. Pumpkin Rolls: These were AMAZING. Put the icing on right away when you take them out of the oven and let it melt, and eat them while they are warm.
  2. Non-Dairy Pumpkin Oat Beverage: Oat milk with a twist. This is so delicious in your morning coffee or chai tea – an 8/10!
  3. Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese: A comfort food, with veggies built-in. This was so delicious and creamy.
  4. Pumpkin Spiced Teeny Tiny Pretzels: I could eat the entire bag in one sitting. 
  5. Pumpkin Tortilla Chips: I was pleasantly surprised by these – loved these as much as Jens!

 

Misses:

  1. Fall Harvest Salsa: This salsa was okay but honestly didn’t taste very different from regular salsa.
  2. Petite Pumpkin Spice Cookies: These cookies are so cute – but I didn’t think they were anything special! 

 

Add my favorites to your list and & try them out and let me know what you think!!

Easy Meal Prep Ideas

I’m all about meal prepping these days! It has helped Sam and me out so much, especially during the day when I’m running around trying to get errands done, working on projects, and being a mom to Sage! Meal prepping for the week can be overwhelming, and I’m definitely not an expert in this, but I’ve found a few recipes that have worked for us and made our lives easier, so I wanted to share them with all of you. I’m not one to meal prep every single item we consume all week, I prefer to prep breakfast and lunch items so Sam can grab them on his way to work and so I can have something quick and not worry about having to juggle Sage while I make a meal. You all know the burrito recipe is one of our weekly staples, but we also make an oatmeal bake and a soup. I prep these three recipes every Sunday, and they never get boring because I change up ingredients depending on what we’re feeling. All three are super easy to make and fool-proof! I hope you like them!

 

Burrito Recipe

Our number 1 meal prep recipe! It’s so delicious and works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

  • 24 Eggs
  • 2 Rolls Ground Maple Sausage
  • 2-3 Cups Diced Bell Peppers
  • 1 Full Bag of Hashbrowns
  • 24 Uncooked Flour Tortillas

Steps:

  1. Over high heat, cook the sausage and ground it up
  2. In a separate pan, make the scrambled eggs
  3. Mix the sausage with the eggs and keep over low heat
  4. Heat the hashbrowns in the pan you used to cook the sausage
  5. Cook the tortillas on a skillet, in the oven, or over the stove. You just want to heat them!
  6. Mix the hashbrowns in with the sausage and eggs
  7. Cook the diced bell peppers in the same pan you used to heat the hashbrowns
  8. Mix the bell peppers in with the egg, sausage, and hashbrown mixture
  9. Make the burritos: Take about a 1/2 cup to 1 cup of the burrito mixture and wrap it in the burrito! Wrap tinfoil around it and then store them in the freezer! When you’re ready to eat, you can heat them in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes. Enjoy!!

 

Overnight Oat Bake Recipe

One of my go-to breakfasts every morning before I workout! It’s so easy to make and lasts all week, plus it’s filled with so many nutritious ingredients that will keep you full.  Sam grabs a to-go bowl of this to eat on his way to work. It’s a nice switch up from the burritos!

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 Egg
  • 4 Cups Milk
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 3 mashed bananas
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • optional: apples, dried cherries, and coconut (any toppings work!)

Steps:

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the coconut oil, mashed bananas, eggs, maple syrup, cinnamon, baking powder, and milk.
  2. Stir in the oats, blueberries, and other mixins! In a separate pan, make the scrambled eggs.
  3. Pour the oat mixture into a baking sheet, place your toppings and cover with plastic wrap.
  4. Leave in your fridge for a few hours or overnight
  5. Remove from fridge and place in oven at 350°F. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle all remaining toppings, and enjoy! You can store it in your fridge all week and just reheat it when you want to eat it.

 

Soup Recipe

We love having a soup recipe readily accessible during the week, especially in the colder months. As we approach spring and summer, we change things up and use vegetables that are in season! You can make it in your crockpot or over the stove and eat it all week. One of my favorites has been using cauliflower, chickpeas, and sweet potatoes. It’s SO delicious.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of chopped onions
  • 2 heads of cauliflower
  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 1 can of chickpeas
  • 1 carton of vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Steps:

  1. In a stockpot, sauté the onions on high heat until they are white and jelly.
  2. Reduce to low temp and dump the chopped cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and can of chickpea into the stockpot. Sprinkle the salt and pour the vegetable broth until it just about covers the vegetables. Stir in the olive oil and cover.
  3. Let sit for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Take a hand blender (specific for pureeing soup), or you can pour the soup into a blender. Puree soup until nice and creamy! Add some salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!

My Go-To Pre-Workout Breakfast

I always get asked what I eat in the morning before my workouts and if I eat anything at all. I know everyone has their own take on eating before you work out, but I’m all about listening to my body, and if I’m hungry and know I have a big workout to get through, I like to feed it with nutritious foods. I find that I truly perform better when I have a little something in my stomach. Lately, I’ve been setting my alarm clock extra early to workout and film new videos for Move With Linds. When I get up early and know I’m working out within an hour, I usually make myself peanut butter on whole-grain toast, berries and yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, or snack on a granola bar. Carbs are energy, so if you eat them about an hour before your workout, your body will digest them enough so you don’t feel sick when you’re jumping up and down, but you won’t have used all the energy from the carbs, and you’ll use it as you power through your workout! Food = fuel, so I like to feed my body carbs and protein when I eat before my workout. Both are essential in your pre-workout breakfast because your body uses the energy from the carbs, and the protein helps repair any micro-tears in our muscle fiber, especially as we do strength workouts!

On top of my breakfast, I’ll sometimes have a pre-workout drink. I’ve been loving the Alani NU Hawaiian Shaved Ice Pre-Workout! I’ve never been the biggest pre-workout fan, but this one is all-natural and doesn’t make me jittery. It’s SO good and also helps prevent that post-workout crash. Another important part of my pre-workout meal is water! Hydration before exercise is essential. Not only does it prevent cramps during a workout, but it can cause you to have low energy. Make sure you have at least a cup of water in the morning before you start to work out to prevent injury. This collagen water from Vital Proteins is so yummy if you’re looking for something with good flavor and added benefits.
