I’ve talked a lot about organization and preparation on 30days. And here I sit with piles of laundry and a mess while I type this. Ha! Really, I’m always trying to balance my life and get ahead but I often just can’t keep up. When I do make preparation a priority, our family life runs so much smoother. One of the ways that I think can help our family is to prep breakfast. I was on a mission to find some healthy make ahead breakfasts. All of these take a healthy approach but don’t skimp on flavor. It’s a win/win!
Before I share all the awesome recipe posts, I wanted to let you know of some of my favorite products to keep on hand for these make ahead meals:
- Rubbermaid Set — I found mine at Target on clearance a few months back and scored!
- Ziploc Storage Bags – gallon size
- Snack bags – awesome to break down bulk snacks
- Dry erase markers – to mark on containers
- Sharpies – to mark on plastic bags
There are also some simple substitutes for regular recipes to make them a touch healthier. Olive oil and coconut oil can be used. There are some fantastic light cheeses- Havarti and Mozarella are my favorites. I also add International Delight Fat Free and Sugar Free creamers when I want to add a touch of sweetness but don’t want to add straight sugar. I have used it in baking a bunch. We have been using more ground turkey than ground beef around here as well.
Ok. On to the yummy Make Ahead Healthy Breakfasts:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars:
These bars look so delicious. They aren’t full of the junk that other bars have.
There are a lot of variations on this recipe but it’s super easy and tastes fantastic.

You can either make packs to use for later or make the oatmeal to save for breakfast throughout the week. Easy and good!

I ate a cookie for breakfast today! It was a super chocolatey one with cream cheese. I did not feel good about myself afterwards. Little did I know there were official “breakfast cookies!” Now I can make these and not feel quite so guilty :)
