Everyone seems focused on food prep for lunch ( which is important), but food prep for breakfast is JUST as important!  How many times do we get up a little late and rush out the door because of some unexpected distraction (hence my previous addiction to Bacon Gouda!)  ???  I’ve always had good intentions but life is crazy and hectic and I’ve habitually fallen victim to the morning Fast Food Industry, making them richer and me physically poorer.   The bottom line is….We all have to eat SOMETHING every day so why not make the best of it, keep things simple AND nutritious by adding breakfast food prep to our routine.

Since nutrient dense food needs to be for EVERY SINGLE MEAL……. prepping veggies in advance for the morning is just going to be a MUST DO!

For me the containers can’t be too big and they must be easily available and ready to go.  There’s these cool Baby Food Containers I spied at Target a while back ago (BPA free) and I bought two stackables of four (a total of 8  1/4 cup containers)  That’s 8 breakfasts! PERFECT for an ENTIRE WEEK!

The previous blog shows how I use them for breakfast.  I’m sure I will be changing things up a bit soon.  Variety is the spice of life!  Right?  Gotta keep those taste buds wanting for more!
