Meal Prep: Healthy Breakfast Back To School Ideas! Mind Over Munch

Hey guys, so you have been responding really positively to my meal prep videos so far and my meal prep ebook so I thought that this month since everybody's getting ready to go back to school that it would be the perfect time to do a meal prep mini series. So every Thursday this month you will get a meal prep video and I will be sharing three recipes that are preppable and or portable for a different meal of the day and today we are naturally starting with breakfast and I'll be sharing vegan options. Also I have great news and those of you who follow me on my personal Instagram know which if you're not following me by now you might as well go and follow. But the news is I have found an apartment, yay, but I don't have any furniture and nothing is set up yet so please excuse this temporary setup. It is very extremely temporary, you will never see it again. It is just for today until we can figure out what we're gonna do. On to breakfast. I have already shared a few videos with some of my favorite meal prep options including overnight oats, my freezer breakfast sandwiches and my freezer breakfast burritos. So those are some additional videos you could check out after but I obviously didn't want to remake those here since I've already shared them before. First up are my freezer breakfast smoothie bags. Now I did share these in my most recent meal prep video but I didn't really talk much in that video so I thought I would share them today and give a little bit more explanation. For breakfast smoothies you can really use anything you'd like. Fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, the possibilities are endless. And if you are looking for more tips on how to create a smoothie recipe you've gotta check out my summer sips video on how to make a smoothie recipe. It's only 60 seconds long so I think you can spare the time. Add your ingredients of choice into a plastic bag. Today I am using spinach, banana, blueberries, raspberries and chia seeds. Fill them up and stick them in the freezer. When you're ready for your smoothie you can simply add your bag of fruit to your blender with a little bit of milk or water, maybe a little bit of nut butter and blend it on up. Pour and devour. I also recommend letting that bag of fruit thaw for 10 to 15 minutes if you can because it's gonna blend a lot easier, a lot more easily. Which one is it? It's gonna be easy. Alright let's keep moving. Instant oatmeal packets can be super convenient but they're also often packed with sugar. Let's make our own so we are in control and this one is gonna be a huge money saver too. For your homemade instant oatmeal you will need quick oats, oat flour, nonfat milk powder or you can sub extra oat flour for vegan, salt, cinnamon and dried fruit of choice. Add your ingredients into a ziplock bag. In the morning when you're ready for your oats you're simply gonna add your bag into a bowl, pour a little bit of water or milk into it and microwave it for a quick minute. Voila! Homemade instant oatmeal and you are in control of what's going into it. Alright so let's move on to my last meal prep breakfast for the day, baked oatmeal muffins. In a large mixing bowl combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. In a separate mixing bowl combine one and a half bananas, mashed, almond milk, an egg or a flax egg for vegan, vanilla and stevia or sweetener of your choice. Now it's time to add the dry ingredients into the wet. Mix to combine and set aside. Allow it to thicken for about 10 minutes. Add liners to a cupcake tin. Spray down a quarter cup measuring cup or a large ice cream scoop will also work for the perfect amount of batter. What I really love about these babies is you can customize them however you'd like and today I am doing that with toppings. Use anything you'd like, fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, chocolate, so many possibilities. Add your toppings on top of the muffins or you could stir it into the batter. Bake in an oven preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes. You can keep these on the counter for a few days in an airtight container, in the fridge for 5 to 6 days or you can freeze them for a few months. Also they can be enjoyed warm or cold. And there you have it, three simple meal prep breakfast ideas with vegan options. Don't forget that your thumbs up and comments really help let me know if you liked the video.
