Breakfast meal prep for fit bodies: week 2

Athletes know that planning out meals in advance is one of the keys to success in achieving wellness goals. That’s why we created our healthy meal prep lunch series. Now, we’re starting the new year off right by making breakfast easier than ever.

“Instead of using quinoa as a side dish or for lunch and dinner, make it a main ingredient in simple breakfast recipes,” says Lisa Hayim, R.D., a New York City-based nutritionist and founder of The Well Necessities. “The grain is a versatile superfood that is low on the glycemic index, meaning it won’t spike your blood sugar. It’s also packed with complex carbohydrates that will keep you energized for the day.” Plus, “it’s naturally gluten-free and has twice as much fiber as most other grains.”
