Skip the Line and Get Back to Breakfast in the New Year!

Ease your morning routine with convenient, nutritious, and delicious foods

By Monica Seabourn, Macaroni Kid Evans Publisher January 16, 2020


Don’t you just love holiday breaks?  Schedules barely exist, Christmas cookies are always on the menu, and alarms are a thing of the past.  Sleeping in becomes your norm, and the days of the week start blending together.  This is my kind of bliss!  But before you know it, you’re smacked with reality and facing the return of your normal, daily routine.  Alarms are set and your planner is ready to go!  Time to meet early mornings filled with the busy hustle of shoe finding, form signing, and breakfast making.

We all know how crazy mornings can get when trying to get breakfast done for everyone, so while you’re setting up your alarms, set up your fridge and pantry for those extra busy early hours of the day.  Convenience is the name of the game when getting back to your routine after a long break.  You’re already having to adjust to “life” again so make the mornings easier for yourself.  While preparing to get back on track, I was able to grab some tasty and easy options to get me back to breakfast once school starts up.  Check out how to #PowerYourRoutineatTarget with Macaroni Kid Evans!

Yogurt is one of my favorite things to grab in the morning!  It’s quick, filling, and doesn’t lead to more dishes.  Unfortunately, many yogurts are packed with a ton of sugar and/or calories.  And if you’re like me and trying to strive for better in the new year, that just won’t do.  Thankfully, Light & Fit Strawberry Cheesecake Greek Yogurt checks all my boxes.  Nutritious, low on sugar, and full on delicious!  There are even more crave-worthy flavors like Toasted Coconut Vanilla, Banana Cream, and Salted Caramel all with 12 grams of protein and 80 calories per serving.  Hello, indulgence!



Three words... BELVITA Breakfast Biscuits!  Not only are they convenient, they are super delicious!  You can easily stash these in your desk, bag, car, or pantry when you’re needing something quick. The Blueberry Bites are an absolute must at our house!  Eat a pack while you’re running around looking for that one missing shoe, or grab a Soft Baked Banana Bread while you’re stuck in the car line.  BELVITA Breakfast Biscuits are packed with whole grains so you can be fueled and full!  If you’re wanting or needing more protein, try their protein options for 10 grams to keep you going.  Skip feeling hungry and pass the drive-thru!  And on those mornings where everything aligns and you have a little extra time, you can easily pair BELVITA Breakfast Biscuits with your favorite fruit and low fat dairy option for a complete, balanced breakfast.  A few berries, banana slices, and Light & Fit Strawberry Cheesecake Greek Yogurt are just the ticket!



No breakfast in our family, at the table or on the go, is complete without coffee!  We are coffee lovers, and I am creamer obsessed!  Give me all the coffee creamer because black coffee just does not exist in my world!  I love adding yummy flavors to my coffee, and I keep a variety in the fridge so I can change it up when I want.  One of my favorites is International Delight® Cold Stone Creamery® Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer!  It adds just the right amount of flavor without being overly sweet.  International Delight® Coffee Creamer has an incredible variety of flavors that are gluten free, lactose free, and Kosher!  I know I can serve these awesome coffee creamers to my friends and family while keeping everyone happily caffeinated.



We get so wrapped up in making sure the kids are fed something nutritious in the mornings that we often leave ourselves hungry on our way to errands or work.  And where does that lead us?  Spending money and grabbing not so good options at the drive-thru.  So with the holidays over, let’s decide to skip the line and get back to breakfast as we get back to our routines!  Having quick, convenient, and tasty options at home will not only help us fuel our days, but keep more money in our pockets.  Save those coins for that blended coffee goodness you know you’ll want while making your Target run!
