How are we already back to school?!? I feels like it starts earlier and earlier each year. After a fun filled summer, sometimes getting back into a routine is harder than expected. Keep things simple and streamlined in the kitchen, especially on busy mornings. Here are 12 School Breakfast Ideas that will power you through this next season.
Whether you’re looking for something to make ahead, so it’s ready right when you wake up or you’re looking for something to throw together in 10 minutes, I’ve got a recipe for you. These are kid and adult approved and designed to make your life easier and your morning meal tastier
Casseroles
Big casseroles are perfect for school mornings. You can make them on a Sunday and store in the fridge all week long, just having to slice and heat before running out the door. Adults and kids alike will love these recipes and they’re super customizable.
Need a quick and easy breakfast that will fuel you for hours? This Healthy Frittata Recipe is your answer. It's filled with hearty protein and delicious vegetables for a well-rounded meal!
Talk about a hearty breakfast! This Loaded Hashbrown Casserole is truly loaded up with peppers, onions, sausage over diced home fries and baked in a silky egg mixture and plenty of cheese.

This Bacon Potato Egg Casserole is a little meaty, a little cheesy, and jam packed with healthy vegetables. It's perfect to make ahead to enjoy during a busy week!
This easy and Berry French Toast Bake is a family favorite. Soft bread soaked in a sweet cinnamon, creamy mixture with plenty of fresh berries feels like dessert for breakfast, but actually has much healthier and satiating ingredients.
These breakfast ideas are perfect to make in advance or prep the night before. Mornings are so much easier when you don’t have to think about what’s for breakfast and it’s ready to enjoy.

Trust me when I say you'll taste nothing but sweet, fruity, fresh flavor in this Mango Spinach Smoothie! The bright green color is deceiving because while this is a green spinach smoothie, it doesn't taste like it. Instead, it's a smooth, thick, and absolutely delicious tropical smoothie that's good for you, too.
This Chocolate Cherry Smoothie is packed with protein, antioxidants and decadent flavor! Tart, frozen cherries combined with a rich chocolate protein powder make this smoothie so thick and tasty. It feels so indulgent, but is really healthy!
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but WHAT you have for breakfast matters, too. A good breakfast to eat before school should have a decent amount of protein, for some staying power to fuel you until lunch time. This can be found in the form of eggs, protein powder, yogurt, cheese, etc. Luckily most of the recipes above are packed with protein! Fiber is also a bonus to include in your breakfast before school, which will keep you full (hello veggie packed casseroles and fruit filled smoothies!).
How long will breakfast casserole last in the fridge?
Breakfast Casserole can last 4-5 days in the fridge. If you make it on a Sunday, you can surely enjoy pieces throughout the week until Friday. If you don’t think you’ll eat it all, freeze some!
What is a good breakfast for on-the-go?
For those days when you don’t even have time to sit down at the table for a morning meal, consider a breakfast for on-the-go. Breakfast ideas that are easy to travel with are smoothies that you can sip on during the commute to school, overnight oats that you can take the jar with you , or something like a muffin or breakfast sandwich that don’t require any untensils.
