You’re sure to improve your Insta-game with these ready-made captions, as well as get a few laughs along the way. Ready, set, Insta. 

Bagels

For those mornings when you need nothing more than bagel stuffed with eggs, bacon and oozing cheese.

  • Ba(e)gel
  • BECause I need to start my day with a bacon, egg and cheese
  • I know this caption is a little cheesy (*see pizza, Mexican food, grilled cheese)
  • This bagel is bacon me crazy

Eggs

#yolkporn is a thing.

  • What came first, the chicken, the egg or the Instagram?
  • Om-a-lette you finish, but this is the best omelette of all time
  • Egg-cellent start to the day
  • An egg-stra special start to the day
  • Had me bEGGing for more

Pancakes

Sometimes we just need an excuse to eat cake first thing in the morning. 

  • Pan cake-cake-cake-cake
  • Stacks on stacks on stacks

Smoothies

Because we all need to pretend to be healthy sometimes.  

  • Orange you glad I Instagrammed my smoothie this morning
  • Going bananas for this

Ice Cream, Froyo and Other Frozen Desserts

These bad boys are always in season.

Nuts

The reason our loves Nutella and Peanut Butter exist. 

  • Nuttin better than this treat
  • Nuttellin me this is real?

Cookie Dough

Why even bake it

  • Doughn’t you wish you were eating this too
  • Cookie doughn’t you want some

Pizza

3 am or 3 pm…good any time of day

  • You wanna pizza this
  • Stole a pizza my heart
  • Slice of heaven

At the end of the day, it’s not “you are what you eat,” but “you are what you Instagram yourself eating.” So eat up, and don’t forget that #eatingfortheinsta is real. Now, you can upgrade all those foodstagrams with some perfectly punny captions straight from the Bible. But don’t forget to #spoonfeed the next time you do.
