It’s 7:37AM, the kids were supposed to be on their way to school 2 minutes ago, you’ve got a conference call in 20, the dogs are barking (and so is the husband!), and you haven’t even begun to think about what you’re going to eat for breakfast. Sound familiar? This scenario is basically my personal Groundhog’s Day?it happens over and over and over again. Admittedly, I shovel down anything that’s quick and easy to grab far more often than I should, leaving me unsatisfied and hungry within the hour.

I’ve been on the hunt for easy, prep-ahead breakfasts that’ll keep my schedule and my waistline right on track! This breakfast casserole does both those things, and it’s incredibly yummy too! Kick your transformation off the right way, every day, with this Powell-approved breakfast straight from The TRANSFORM App.

One of my biggest secrets to success and staying on track with my meal plan is prepping ahead. I know sometimes the thought of meal prep can seem daunting, but I promise you, it will make your life so much easier when you set aside some time each week to plan out your meals. Chris and I always designate a couple of hours every Sunday to getting ourselves prepped and ready for the week ahead. We cook up some protein, chop some veggies, and get our calendars ready. If planning an entire week seems like too much, start with this recipe! Make it ahead of time, and you’ll be eating breakfast like a queen (or king!) for the next few days!
