Today’s post is a round-up of on-the-go breakfast recipes, but if you are looking to read about running today you should head over to Meredith’s Blog–> The Cookie ChRUNicles. She will be talking about the taper as she prepares for her half-marathon this weekend and she will be sharing some tips that I sent her way! See the post here: Taper Strategies
Lately I have had zero time in the morning to cook breakfast before work, and it’s only getting tougher as my runs are getting longer. I’ve made it a point to always prepare something over the weekend that I can grab for breakfast during the week. It’s not uncommon for me to eat breakfast as I am getting ready or to eat something quickly after my run and then have something else when I get to work.
Here are some recipes that I have either already tried or am planning to try to switch things up.
Bacon and Sweet Potato Frittata
Grain-Free Blueberry Almond Breakfast Cookies
Easy Peasy Grain Free Pancakes
Twice Baked Breakfast Sweet Potatoes
As long as you have a little time to prepare these recipes in advance, they make for great breakfasts that can be eaten quickly on a busy morning!
Do you have time to cook breakfast every morning?
What are some of your favorite on-the-go breakfasts?
I’m linking up with Jill and Jessica for the Fit Dish Link-Up!
I do wind up cooking every morning but if I didn’t have to for my kids I’m not sure I’d be as motivated just to do it for myself. When runs are longer in the morning i find myself rushing and more frazzled than usual though. Some yummy ones here 🙂
I think after a long or hard run its difficult to take the time to cook breakfast- I have no energy and just want to eat ASAP!
Thanks again for your taper tips!! I keep thinking about your frittata for my son, I am definitely adding it to the dinner menu for him in the next few weeks.
I hope he likes it!
It’s breakfast on the go Mon-Fri in our house. With a little prep work, not problem. The sweet potato breakfast looks amazing!
It’s so good! And it’s all about getting the prep in!
I’ll take one of each, please. Right now, breakfast is split into two parts, otherwise I would never make it. Pre and post workout. And I’m talking Taper on the blog today too!
I have pre-workout, post-workout, and then a snack all by 8:30am!
I love making frittatas ahead and grabbing a slice to eat once I’m at my destination (now that’ll be work), and I often do muffins to pair with fruit and yogurt!
Frittatas are so great for taking on the go! And muffins definitely pair well with fruit and yogurt.
Since I have a toddler, every breakfast needs to be a grab and go option. I like to make batches of overnight oats for me and pancakes for her for easy breakfast options.
That stuffed sweet potato recipe looks delicious!
That’s a great idea! And the stuffed sweet potato is really good- its been awhile since I have made it but need to have it again!
These all look really yummy. The only problem is I am too lazy to make this stuff! If I wanted to have the time to make it, I could. I am just very utilitarian and un-fancy when it comes to my breakfasts. I will eat a chicken sandwich in the car on the way to work after I lift. I never feel like eating chicken at 7am but it gets the job done!! Haha. Other than chicken, I am a cereal girl in the morning OR if I have a few extra minutes… dippy eggs!!
It does take some work, but for me its worth it because cereal just doesn’t fill me up. I have never thought to eat chicken for breakfast!
I am all about easy breakfasts! I sometimes makes smoothies the night before, and I’m also a big fan of overnight oats!
I lover making smoothies the night before- such a time saver the next morning!
Easy, delicious breakfasts are the best! There recipes looks great. I tend to stick to the same things during the work week and branch out on the weekends sometimes so these are giving me some great ideas 🙂
It’s nice to try different things on the weekends when there is more time to cook!
Loved your guest post on Meredith’s blog!! I usually cook a simple breakfast every day, either eggs, oatmeal, or a smoothie. It’s quick and easy, but I like being able to eat at home as I’m usually eating lunch while working every day. Breakfast is totally my favorite meal !
I wish I had just a little more time to eat breakfast in the morning, but I get ready for work in 20 minutes and eat while I am standing in the kitchen making coffee to bring to work with me. We need to leave the house by 7:15, and I can’t imagine getting up any earlier than I already do!
I used to eat overnight oats religiously when I was in school/working. Now that I have my son I have to cook anyway so I usually make myself something. But those PB oatmeal bars look amazing!
I haven’t tried those yet, but they look really good!
Thanks for sharing my recipe! I do have the time to make breakfast each morning, but sometimes it’s nice to have something made in advance. Those grain-free pancakes look so tasty I could eat them right now!
Its really nice to have something made especially when you get back from a run and are starving/tired!
Great list! I usually just have oatmeal for breakfast. But if I’m short on time and need to grab something and go, I like smoothies or overnight oats that I just take into the office. Might have to try some of these! That twice baked breakfast sweet potato is especially calling my name right now.
Smoothies are definitely a go-to for me as well. I haven’t done overnight oats in a while, I should try them again!
You know me well enough by now to know that I’m not a huge fan of recipes and stuff because I suck so hard at cooking. But this post is something I really really need right now. Breakfast is such a gong show around here and I need ideas, desperately. Those twice baked sweet potatoes look perfect, and the frittatta and the peanut butter oatmeal bars. DOING IT.
The sweet potatoes did not come out anything like how they looked in the picture, but still tasted delicious! Hope you give one of these a try!
I have a protein shake in the morning, its quick and easy and can go in the car with me. on the weekends though we always cook breakfast, its my favorite meal because it can be sweet, savory or BOTH!
I love weekend breakfasts when I have more time to cook!!
YUM!! Those twice-baked sweet potatoes look amazing, Lisa! Thanks so much for sharing these! One of my go-tos is a recipe for bacon and egg cupcakes; I can make a batch on Sunday and have them all week. I’ve got to try some of these out!
Ooh bacon and egg cupcakes sound perfect!! Great idea!
I’m going to try the peanut butter oatmeal bars. Those look delicious! I practically never cook breakfast, even on the weekends. I used to rely primarily on granola, yogurt, and fruit but lately I’ve been doing the smoothie thing. Lately I’ve sort of been craving something chewier or denser to go with my coffee, so those bars seem like they might hit the spot!
Anything with peanut butter has to be good, right?:)
I am a smoothie for breakfast kinda gal. It helps me stay healthy. I did cheat and have a pumpkin bagel this morning though 😉
I’ll always have a special love for bagels…hard to turn down a good one!
Those twice baked sweet potato eggs look to DIE for. NEED to make them! Thanks for sharing!
They’re so good- definitely give them a try!
I usually cook breakfast each morning. I love the sweet potato for sure. I never thought about making them like you did. Thanks for sharing

It’s a nice way to change things up!
I like to make little mini egg muffins. Super easy and great for on the go!
Those sound perfect!
Well, thank you THANK YOU for helping me find simple ways to branch out of some routines. The hubmister has been getting a tad bored with his breakfast, and that twice baked sweet potato looks perfect for him, and the bars look perfect for the kids. Thanks Lisa! Cheers to some healthy and happy breakfasts. Take care!
It can be so easy to get stuck in our routines, right? I am always happy when I take the time to try something new!
Sweet potato fritatta! Heck yes! I’ll have to give that one a go 🙂
It’s a good one!
