In an effort to help busy readers everywhere make a commitment to breakfast once and for all, we’ve rallied up a few tips to make your mornings run a bit smoother … Plus, one truly delicious recipe to fuel you for greatness!
A great day runs on more than luck. Give these three must-try tips a go:
Tip #1: Pack your bags. Organize everything that will be going out the door with you the night before. Whether it’s your briefcase, backpack or purse, stay organized by taking a few minutes to prepare for the next morning.
Tip #2: Wake up (just a little bit) earlier. By waking up just 10 minutes earlier than you’re used to, you can minimize the stress that sometimes comes with being in a rush. Time is a luxury, so use it wisely! Wake up slowly, enjoy a delicious breakfast (sitting down at the breakfast table!) and beat the morning rush.
Tip #3: Avoid the breakfast rush. Take some time at the beginning of your week to prepare a breakfast recipe that you whip up in a cinch. Read on for a Taco Sweet Potato and Spinach Egg Bake that you can choose to store in the freezer for up to four months or in the fridge for up to a week! What’s better? It’s delicious heated or chilled!
