February 11, 2024 by Faith Geiger
Maintaining a healthy diet can be difficult when you lead a busy life. Often, we don’t have the time to prepare three nutritious meals every single day. But that’s where meal prepping comes in. By making large batches of foods you can eat throughout the week, you’ll be setting yourself up for success. This especially comes in handy when breakfast rolls around and you’re able to rush out the door while still fitting a healthy meal in. And if you think overnight oats is the only prep-able breakfast, think again!
Sure, overnight oats are great. They’re packed with benefits, they’re versatile, and they’re oftentimes delicious. But if you don’t like oatmeal, you’re getting tired of the same old overnight oats trend, or you’re just stuck in a breakfast rut, don’t fret: there are plenty of other great meal prep breakfasts out there. And that includes a protein-packed bagel breakfast sandwich recipe from nutritionist Emily English, a.k.a. @emthenutritionist on TikTok. Find her recipe for frittata bagels below!
As a nutritionist, English is dedicated to sharing the best nutrition tips, tricks, and recipes with her followers—and this breakfast sandwich recipe she shared in one video certainly doesn’t disappoint. These tasty frittata bagels can spice up your morning meals, providing a high-protein alternative for those who are tired of overnight oats.
“I’m always looking for ways to make healthy eating more convenient, and it doesn’t get better than these bagels,” she says.
Batch-making and freezing these sandwiches offers a prepped breakfast solution that stands apart from the overnight oats trend. Each bagel contains a superfood frittata sandwiched between protein-packed bagel halves, offering a whopping 22 grams of protein per serving. Plus, with the addition smoked cheese, these frittatas are guaranteed to please your taste buds and keep you satisfied until your next meal (so you can avoid overindulging in unhealthy, processed snacks).
