In this brief instructional video, Kelsey Higginson addresses athlete parents who lack time for weekend kitchen prep. She outlines a simple, low‑effort system to have a week’s worth of breakfasts ready with a single trip to Trader Joe’s. The plan involves purchasing seven Eggwich boxes (each containing two egg‑sandwiches) and two boxes of Trader Joe’s waffles, freezing them, and each morning quickly toasting the waffles, microwaving the Eggwiches, assembling a large Eggwich sandwich, and adding a side of fruit. The entire process takes under five minutes, providing a fast, protein‑rich breakfast suitable for athletes.

If I was an athlete parent who wanted to fuel my athlete but didn't have hours to spend in the kitchen on the weekends prepping breakfasts, here's what I would do to prep a week's worth of breakfast with one simple trip to Trader Joe's. Step number 1, go buy 7 of these Eggwich boxes. It comes with 2 Eggwich sandwiches in here, and you want them eating both for breakfast. Step number 2, go buy 2 of these waffles at Trader Joe's. Put the boxes in the freezer. And then step number 4, have your athletes pop 'em out in the morning. Put this in the toaster, this in the microwave, put 'em together to have a big Eggwich sandwich, and then throw a fruit on the side. And they have their breakfast ready in under 5 minutes.
