I don’t know about you, but one of our challenges around here is getting our son off to school in the morning with a healthy, non processed breakfast without having to wake up an hour ahead of time to do so. 6:30 is plenty early as far as I’m concerned, and should be enough time to get us all out the door with a healthy breakfast, but the reality is I often fall short of that unless I’ve prepped ahead of time.
Enter these fabulous little egg muffins we recently discovered! They can be made ahead of time, and stored for 3-4 days, are super easy to reheat and pack a powerful protein punch. Satisfying a Paleo, gluten free, dairy free diet, they’re delicious, healthy and convenient.
Perfectly inspired foods for a great start to the day – enjoy!
