$10 Tuesday | Breakfast edition

You know my goal is $10 or less,
What if I told you breakfast for under $2?!? YUPPPPPP!

Friends, get on my level. 
That's cheaper than stopping at the gas station, running through fast food and 100x healthier! Let me share with you one of my favorite breakfast meals!

Overnight Oats & Eggs
Super simple, super easy, budget win.
x


Now let's break it down.
Oatmeal -- $2.29
Blueberries -- $2.29
Almond Milk -- $1.99
Eggs -- .88
Mushrooms -- 1.89
________________________
Total spent = $6.57

But wait, that's before breaking it down by the number of days you can use it for. This is over a weeks worth of breakfast y'all.
One tub of oatmeal can last me 2+ weeks! Eggs, you have plenty for 6 days, etc. So let me show you my best guess.


Oatmeal -- $2.29 / 14 = .16
Blueberries -- $2.29 / 4 = .57
Almond Milk -- $1.99 / 7 = .28
Eggs -- .88 / 6 = .15
Mushrooms -- 1.89 / 5 = .38
__________________________
Total for one meal = $1.54

Mind.Blown

But, you want to get wild & mix it up a little?
Add in some all natural sweetener for your oatmeal (honey or pure maple syrup).
Don't like blueberries? Go without. Instead have a banana because they are CHEAPPPP fruit.
Don't like mushrooms, that's ok choose your favorite veggies to saute up with them.
Don't like your eggs over easy; scramble those puppies. 

The eggs aren't any fancy recipe, but let me share my overnight oats here. && I love prepping 3-4 jars ahead of time and save money. You can prep eggs ahead too! So breakfast will be super simple and you can have ready to go.

Through Sickness & Health

Ya'll it's been interesting over here. I know its been a few weeks since I've blogged & I'm just gonna keep it real, its because my focus right now is keeping my head above water! Being a mom is hard, being a wife is hard, being a business owner is hard, loving yourself is hard, staying healthy is hard, shit LIFE is hard. But its what you do with the hard thrown at you that actually counts. With holidays, kids home from break & ending the year on new years eve with Kenny having surgery, we ended 2019 straight wildddddd. So 2020 we brought in with a whole new learning curve. If you know me, or follow me regularly. You know I thriiiiivvvveee on routine. So i'm like a new little baby trying to walk through this chaos without falling down. *spoiler alert, i'm clumsy AF* I will be back to a regular schedule, at some point, but I know that point isn't today so I'm just controlling the controllable. That's the secret though. To a good life, to...

No Bake Super Cookie

Anyone else struggle with after school snacks? My kids, they LOVE junk. They walk in the door begging for candy, chips, cookies. All the things they don't need. I've made it a mission of mine to provide them healthy options when they get home. Today we are mixing up an old favorite &&& we even put a spin on it! No Bake Cookies, make with my supershake (Shakeology). We did vanilla & chocolate because my oldest is just like me; NOT a chocolate eater. So he has peanut butter flavor. These boys are gonna go nutsssss for these. I LOVE this option because its sweet, so to them its a treat. But it has the vitamins and nutrients from my supershake to help fuel their body (it acts like 7 salads) so #momwin I don't feel guilty packing this in their lunch, letting them grab a couple as they run and play. No Bake Super Cookie Ingredients: 2 scoops chocolate Shakeology OR vanilla Shakeology 1 cup oats 1 cup Peanut Butter 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup coconut o...
