Hey friend,
You know that feeling when you're standing in the kitchen, half-awake, kids yelling, coffee still brewing, and you're expected to make a nutritious breakfast for yourself like a functioning adult? Yeah… same.
That’s exactly why I created the WTE? Meal Plans—because you shouldn’t have to choose between chaos and health every morning. These plans are totally free for my Hungry Hobby newsletter subscribers, and they’re basically a love letter from me to you.
I know you want to feel better, eat better, and take care of yourself without adding more to your plate. So here’s what you’ll get in each weekly plan:
✅ 100+ grams of protein per day
✅ 1600–1800 calories on average
✅ Step-by-step meal prep instructions
✅ Easy, dietitian-approved recipes that don’t take all day
You don’t need a complicated diet overhaul. You just need a little support and a solid plan—and that’s what I’ve got for you. Let’s make breakfast the easiest part of your day.
Make-Ahead Breakfasts That Actually Set You Up for Success
Let’s talk about the most stressful meal of the day—breakfast. Between getting kids dressed, feeding the dog, and figuring out where your keys went (again), it’s no wonder breakfast often gets skipped or replaced with something sugary that leaves you crashing by 10 a.m.
But no breakfast—or the wrong kind—can lead to cravings, energy dips, and overeating later in the day. The fix? Meal prepping your breakfast ahead of time. Here are some of my favorite ways to make that happen:
- Be Protein Prepared
Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day—but what you eat matters. I aim for 30g of protein at breakfast to help stabilize blood sugar and keep energy levels up.
Here are my favorite protein-packed options to prep in advance:
- Hard-boiled eggs or get fancy with deviled eggs like these healthy ones or these avocado versions.
- Turkey bacon or bacon
- Portioned-out cottage cheese bowls
- A big casserole that gives you lots of servings
- Greek yogurt combos
- Simple protein shakes - my favorite thing to pair with a more carby breakfast like waffles, pancakes etc.
These are all fast, prep-ahead friendly, and easy to mix and match.
- Make DIY Oatmeal Packs or Overnight Jars
Instant oatmeal packets are convenient, but they’re usually loaded with sugar and low in protein. That’s why I love prepping my own overnight oats or DIY instant oatmeal packs.
For Overnight Oats: Use a 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid (like almond milk or regular milk). They soak overnight and are ready to grab-and-go in the morning. I’ve got tons of overnight oats recipes on the blog that are meal-prep friendly!
For Instant Packs: Combine the dry ingredients—oats, protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon, seeds, etc.—in a zip-top bag. In the morning, dump it into a bowl, add liquid, microwave, and done! I show you how to do this with my anti-inflammatory instant oats.
- Prep Smoothie Packs
If you’re a smoothie person, make your mornings easier with smoothie prep packs. I like to break them into two:
- Frozen Pack: Fruit, greens, and sometimes even Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
- Dry Pack: Protein powder, chia seeds, flax, hemp seeds, cacao powder—you name it.
I store my dry packs in mason jars next to the blender and toss in a frozen pack and liquid in the morning. Boom—smoothie, no fuss.

- Don’t Forget: Almost Any Breakfast Can Be Prepped
A lot of people think meal prep is just for oats and eggs, but almost any breakfast can be made ahead of time.
Some of my go-tos from the blog:
- Egg muffins (they freeze great!)
- High-protein muffins
- Freezer pancakes
- Waffles with a protein boost
Don’t be afraid to batch and freeze—you’ll thank yourself when the morning chaos hits.
