5 Healthy On-the-Go Breakfasts That Are Worth the Splurge
by Ariel Knutson
I am not what you call a morning person. Even though I dream of waking up at 6 a.m. and doing yoga before making myself a healthy breakfast from scratch, it is not in the cards right now. I like staying up late. So, breakfast is always a problem for me. And hey, even if you’re not like me and do happen to wake up before the sun rises, there are other things to get done – lunch boxes to be made for kids and piles of laundry to do. Maybe you also struggle with breakfast.
Instead of skipping it entirely or eating something that might make you feel sluggish the rest of the day (hello, bagels), I’ve found a few small splurges that make things a little easier in the morning. They’re also mostly healthy (if you care about that sort of thing). Here are the on-the-go picks I rely on when the morning struggle gets too real.
Sambazon’s Açai Packets
I always have a packet of açai in my freezer. If I can throw together a simple smoothie in the morning with the help of these packets, then I feel like I’ve done something good for myself. Sambazon has a bunch of different açai packets to choose from, but my favorite is probably just the plain, unsweetened pack (I like to add my own sweetener, if necessary). Prices vary, but you can expect to pay around $8 for four smoothie packs.
