Make-Ahead Healthy Breakfast Meal Prep Jars: 4 Ways

These healthy breakfast meal prep jars are great for quick grab-and-go breakfasts for busy weeks. Make all four at once to beat boredom, or make a big batch of one!

I think I’m about to deem myself the queen of meal prep. Is that allowed?

I seriously do it so often that I’ve got it down to a science. One of my least favorite parts about meal prepping for one person is that I get so bored of the same thing every day.

That’s why these healthy breakfast meal prep jars are a god send. I love to spend a Sunday making four different creations so I can grab them each morning as I’m running out the door.

These are a mix of sweet and savory because I never know what days I’ll want some post-workout protein, creamy sweet oats, or just a simple smoothie.

The hardest part about making these breakfast meal prep jars is deciding which one to grab out of the fridge first!

Breakfast Meal Prep Jar Flavors:

  1. Freezer Green Smoothie Jars: These are similar to my green smoothie freezer packs, just packed in a jar. When you’re ready, throw the contents of the jar in your blender and add almond milk. Then, pour your delicious smoothie back in the jar.
  2. Overnight Oats in a Jar: I’ve included the basic recipe here, but there are SO many variations on this one (I’ve been making these babies since college. See additional flavors here).
  3. 2-Minute Egg Scramble in a Jar: Life. Changing. Here again, throw any combination of protein, veggies and cheese in the jar along with two eggs. When you’re ready to eat, crack the eggs in the jar, shake, and microwave until you have a delicious omelet (or scramble if you prefer).
  4. Sweet Potato Peanut Butter Breakfast Jar: I seriously love mashed sweet potatoes so much. This jar is comfort food all the way.

I get all giddy just thinking about how much I love each one of these jars. I wish I could re-live the week I spent testing these each day. YUM.

A couple things about the preparation:

  • I try to keep fresh fruit separate from oats or mashed sweet potato. You can achieve this with a layer of parchment or plastic wrap between the layers.
  • If you hate brown bananas, wait to slice them until right before eating.
  • For the omelet, I layer vegetables on the bottom, then protein, then cheese.

Make your life easy with the help of these healthy breakfast meal prep jars.

I hope you love them as much as I do. Make sure to tell me about your variations in the comments below!

I just need to commit to do it .Looks good and very good idea.

I’m a little off on the eggs in the microwave how does that turn out ? Or I’m just being anal

So how do you prep only one day and fill the fridge . What’s your tricks on lunch ?
