 When juggling a busy schedule from morning to evening, it can sometimes be difficult to squeeze in time for fresh and filling meals. Preparing and planning meals is always a great way to ensure you are getting nourishment throughout the week, and there are also easy and quick tricks to save you time and stress. Here are a few ways to enjoy delicious and nutritious meals when you’re crunched for time: Breakfast Morning routines sometimes leave little room for a full breakfast. Whether you’re preparing food for a whole family or just yourself, waking up and making sure you have time to prepare a satisfying and nutritious meal can be hard. Taking a few minutes before bedtime to prepare your breakfast will save you time in the morning. Overnight oats are a great option for a full breakfast, and can be easily prepared before bed. Use any oat or oatmeal mix, then add yogurt, milk, and fruit into a container. Cover and let sit overnight, then enjoy cold in the morning, and adjust your servings based on household size.
