We all have heard the phrase, "Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day." While that may be true, with work, school, and the general craziness that is life, it is also one of the most overlooked meals of the day!

Why is breakfast so important? In general, people who eat breakfast have more energy, are more productive in their work, and eat healthier throughout the day. Without breakfast, people can get irritable, restless and tired.

Are you struggling with eating a healthy breakfast in your rushed mornings? Here are some quick and healthy breakfast ideas you can try:

  • Spend some time over the weekend and make freeze ahead breakfasts. Thaw overnight in the fridge or zap in the microwave before heading out the door!
