Ever wonder why some people are morning people, and some just..aren’t? Is it the age-old nature vs. nurture debate?

It could be a long night debating that one…

So instead, let’s make breakfast! A good breakfast can turn anyone into a morning person (maybe). In my opinion, this is not your Sunday morning leisurely breakfast. This is your make ahead on a Sunday night for a quick Monday – Friday breakfast.

With eggs, quinoa and asparagus in a transportable size you can store them in ziplock bags, and just pop in the microwave for a minute or so for a filling and healthy breakfast.

Have I turned you into a morning person yet?
