Light Breakfast Ideas

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The problem is that not all of us wake up hungry, in which case it's a good idea to opt for a light breakfast instead.

But just because you may prefer a light breakfast in the mornings does not mean it needs to be boring! If you are looking for ideas beyond yogurt, oatmeal or buttered toast, we have some great suggestins for you that will change up your breakfast game. 

Mmmmm Muffins!

Egg muffins are just perfect if you're not too hungry in the mornings but want a healthy start to the day.

Not only are they light, they are the perfect grab and go breakfast and are easily customizable to match your preferences. It's entirely up to you whether you want eggs muffins loaded with veggies or oozing with cheese!

Egg muffins are ideal for batch cooking and you can freeze them, so they are perfect for meal prepping! We love using a large muffin tray and making a few flavor varieties of egg muffins to keep them interesting.

Here are a couple of ideas to get you started:
