If there’s anyone who knows the importance of a quick, healthy breakfast, it’s Ree Drummond. Life on the ranch is crazy busy, so it’s especially important for Ree to start the day off right. “I’m a big fan of egg bites, whether I make them in a mini-muffin pan or an Instant Pot (my new cookbook has a recipe)," Ree says. "I whip up a big batch, then let them cool and stick them in the freezer so I can reheat them later.” Along with Ree's protein-packed egg bites, you’ll find all sorts of fun healthy breakfast ideas, like refreshing smoothies, satisfying oats, carb-free bowls and make-ahead muffins. These recipes don't necessarily follow a specific diet—but they're packed with all the good stuff: nutritious veggies, energy-boosting protein, and filling fiber.

Of course, no Pioneer Woman breakfast would be complete with a cup of coffee. Check out how Ree prepares her cold brew in advance, then check out these tricks for hosting brunch.
