Now that school is back in session it’s important to make sure that the kids have a healthy breakfast to start their day. But everyone knows how hard it is to get the kids out the door in the morning, so sometimes, breakfast needs to happen in the car on the way to drop-off. Here are fifteen healthy and delicious breakfasts that the kids will enjoy even if they have to eat breakfast on the go.
1. Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats
If your kids love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches they will love these delicious peanut butter and jelly overnight oats. Make a batch for yourself and the kids the night before and enjoy them in the morning straight from the fridge.
2. Zucchini Fritters
These healthy zucchini fritters are not traditional zucchini fritters. They are lighter (both in calories and in fat), but still really fill you up and keep you energized until lunch. Wrap them in a paper towel to eat them in the car.
3. Greek Avocado Toast
This Greek avocado toast makes a great breakfast (or snack) and takes less than ten minutes to prepare. It’s delicious and healthy. A perfect dish to serve on a weekend morning, or on a paper towel to eat in the car. Just don’t overload the toast with toppings if you have to take it with you.
4. Banana Muffins
Banana muffins are a perfect start to the day for people who want something with a little bit of a sweet flavor for breakfast. These tasty muffins are perfect for breakfast on the move or for packing in lunches, and you can make them with or without nuts.
5. Breakfast Taquitos
Breakfast taquitos are like a breakfast burrito but easier to take along with you in the morning and far easier (and cleaner) to eat. You can enjoy these with or without dip, and they will truly fill you up for the morning ahead.
6. Pumpkin Spice Granola Bark
Pumpkin spice granola bark is the best way to eat cereal on the go, without the bowl or the milk. This way, if you spill it, you just have to brush away the crumbs. It’s mildly sweet, delicious, and easy to pack up in a zipper-top bag or portable container.
7. Pancake Muffins
Pancake muffins are a great breakfast on-the-go option. There are so many different additions you can add to them, like fresh fruit, bacon, or sausage. You can make these and freeze them to pull out when you need breakfast on the run.
8. Bacon & Egg Wraps
Bacon and egg wraps are a perfect breakfast option for you if you don’t have time to sit down for breakfast before you leave the house. You can add in any additional ingredients you like, and you can even make these ahead of time and freeze them.
9. Pita Breakfast Sandwich
Pitas are a natural choice when you are looking for a breakfast that you can take on the go. Spinach, eggs, and bell peppers are all that you need to make a pita breakfast sandwich, and you can even make the eggs in advance to save even more time.
10. Strawberry Smoothie
Smoothies for breakfast are healthy and delicious, and you can customize them with all sorts of ingredients. Fresh or frozen strawberries work perfectly for this strawberry smoothie recipe and it’s super easy to take on the go.
