There are two kinds of mornings: the smooth ones that flow effortlessly and the chaotic ones. My mornings usually lean towards chaos, where I end up skipping breakfast while rushing to get my family ready. Knowing the importance of breakfast for hormone balance, mood, metabolism, and energy, I decided to revamp my mornings with a trip to Trader Joe’s.
Exploring the breakfast options at Trader Joe’s, I looked for items that are convenient, tasty, and nutritionally diverse (with a few treats thrown in for good measure). Here are some of the top Trader Joe’s breakfast items that have made my mornings easier and more enjoyable.
