Soft-scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt bowl, protein bar, repeat. Such has been my morning refrain the majority of 2019. Whereas mornings are my favorite time of day to rise with the sun, sip coffee slowly in a cozy oversized cardigan, and develop content for this site, the time I spend in the kitchen does not correlate to the quality of my morning meals.

Breakfast should be savored as one of the most nutritious, hearty plates of your day, so I’ve gathered a handful of my favorites to provide your morning meal prep some inspiration. As you plan out your work lunches, why not also oven-poach a dozen eggs or whip up a muffin batter in tandem? Scroll and save accordingly; some might be best for Sundays (hello, cinnamon rolls), whereas others can make any weekday more memorable.
