I often struggle with rushing out the door in the morning without grabbing something to eat. I have had this problem as long as I can remember. This changed when I started taking medication to treat my ADHD symptoms. Without a full meal, the duration and effectiveness of my morning dose would vary. I needed a solution.
I started doing meal prep once a week. Sometimes I make 4-5 days worth of breakfast burritos or a big batch of hash browns with veggies I had on hand. Healthy trail mix as a meal replacement is a good option if I’m in a rush (I like Power Up High Energy). It is ready to eat, doesn’t require cooking or utensils, and is shelf stable at room temperature. I keep some in my work backpack and at my desk in case I miss lunch. What hacks work best for you?

French toast can be frozen and then toasted in a toaster. use wax paper between layers so they don’t stick before freezing.
you can premake breakfast burritos and freeze them. depends on size and ingredients but it’s usually good to eat after wrapping in a paper towel and microwave for a 1:30.
