For those extra busy mornings, have breakfast on the go! Grab a Chinet Crystal® cup and spoon then fill it with cereal or oatmeal! This way you can eat in the car and beat the boss (or the school bell). Here are a few of our favorite non-cereal, on-the-go meals.

3. Give your eggs an upgrade

Protein, protein, protein—it’s what everyone is talking about, and for good reason! It keeps you full, which will hopefully prevent those hangry moments. Eggs are an easy protein to serve and even easier to add a flavorful spin to. Start your day with one of these delicious egg options.

4. Let them choose!

Give your kids or spouse a fun start to their day by letting them choose what goes in their parfait, smoothie bowl or even breakfast board! Provide nutritious options—like fruit, yogurt, granola, proteins—plus a few filling options—like cut-up pancakes and waffles, then let them mix and match. They’ll love getting to choose their breakfast, and you’ll love how simple it is. Get inspired here:

5. Prep the night before

Sometimes breakfast deserves to be a little extra special and, when it does, make it a little easier by prepping the night before. These recipes are quick to prepare one or several days ahead and can be served for breakfast or dinner. And don’t forget the coffee. Chinet® Comfort cups are a must for stocking your home coffee bar.
