I didn’t have much of a weekend because it was spent packing and carrying heavy boxes and now that the work week has started I’m simply exhausted! And to top it all off the whole moving thing has left little time to workout, cook, or blog! It’s a sad story.
Anyhow, just because I have no time doesn’t mean I don’t eat – especially the most important (and my favorite) meal of the day, BREAKFAST. Hot oatmeal hasn’t really been appealing so I’ve been switching back and forth between some of my favorites including:
1. Sweet + Savory Egg and (Veggie) Sausage Muffin
A toasted Ezekiel English muffin with a strawberry jam spread, 1 egg white, and 1 morning star veggie sausage. I love this combination of flavors and it’s super easy to throw together. Plus it’s portable – unless your like me and like to have the egg side open faced and eat the other side with a different topping like almond butter. 
Tip: To cook an egg white quickly simply spray a microwave safe bowl with a little cooking (oil) spray, separate the yolk from the white and pour the white into the bowl. Cover the bowl with a paper towel and put it in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until the egg is no longer runny. It comes right out of the bowl and it has a round shape perfect for putting on English muffins.
2. Best Overnight Oats Yet
Creamy Banana Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup oatmeal (old fashioned oats)
- 1/2 smashed banana
- 1/2-3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 tablespoons honey Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Put the above ingredients into a tupperware container, mix them all together and put the container in the fridge overnight. Once morning rolls around take the container out of the fridge, give the oats a stir and enjoy!
This is definitely one of the best overnight oat combos I’ve had- and as you know I’ve tried many! I think the banana and yogurt make the mixture extra creamy and perfectly sweet. It’s delicious. If you’ve been waiting to try overnight oats – I suggest the above combination as your experience.
Time for bed so I can wake up and eat one of these for breakfast. Which will it be??

Yumm! I have been loving cold oats lately.. so I’m going to say that you are having that in the morning
XO much love!
Yeah for vegetarian Egg McMuffins! I love making these (although I wish the sodium wasn’t as high in the veggie patties I buy). Yours looks yummy and a great way to start the morning.
I always am thinking of quick and easy breakfasts! Those 2 look so good, love the overnight oat recipe! I have not made overnight oaties in a while but that one sounds amazing, certainly will be making it
I love the savory sweet combo – I have been having eggs with jam and cheese and it is so good!
I think I may try these overnight oats soon. They look so creamy and delicious!
I always love to combine a sweet and savor breakfast. Bagels and EM’s are perfect for this because you have double the options!
Have a great day hun!!
I almost had that exact same sweet/savory breakfast combo this morning! Except that I used strawberry-rhubarb jam. So good!
Moving is always exhausting! I hope you get some good down time this week. Yummy breakfasts. I love your mix for the overnight oats. I like to go heavier on the milk or milk sub (hooray for almond milk) and lighter on the yogurt.
I tried VOO this past weekend and they were an Epic Fail
I am pretty sure the problem was not enough liquid, so I’ll try again before the end fo the week. I like your honey flavor idea.
I wish I liked those sausage patties because I bought a bunch of them, but nope
That sandwich looks so good though, I’m tempted to try them again!
Hi Brittany!
Headed to get my notepad RIGHT now and jotting down these two breakfast ideas!
Will need to figure the WW points for each!
I think the overnight oatmeal is JUST what the hub needs to eat on the ferry every morning heading to Seattle.
And he LOVES banana!
Got get the chia seeds!
These must be filled with protein!
Happy Moving!

Love the looks of that breakfast sandwich! I’ve forgotten how tasty veggie sausage can be.
dont you love it how you can make oats for so many years and then out of nowhere they magically get super delicious and taste like something uve never experienced before!!! i love that <3 xoxo
I love the morningstar sausage patties! Tastes like the real thing!
That savory/sweet combo looks delicious! I love jelly with “meat,” so good!
I had no idea Ezekiel made English muffins. That is soooo good to know!! And that sandwich looks fabulous
They’re definitely my favorite English muffin!
I can totally relate to how exhausting moving can be. Hopefully it’ll all be over soon.
I love overnight oats…especially with greek yogurt
