6 Healthy Breakfasts That Keep You Going All Day
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! I know we’ve all heard it a million times in our lives, probably from your parents, teachers, and doctor. But I really believe that what you choose to eat for breakfast can make or break your day and if you make the right choices, keep you fuller for longer. Here are some things you can make for a healthy breakfast after you ~Rise and Shine~ to keep you shining all day.
Smoothie Bowl
You guys, I’m only one option in, and I’m already starving after scrolling through photos of this one. Start off your smoothie bowl with a colorful base filled with fruits of your choosing. Blend them in a blender as you would a smoothie and then pour it into the bottom of your bowl. Then, top it with fruits, seeds, granola, anything of your choosing! Here are a few recipes that sound extra yummy for a healthy breakfast.
Berry Smoothie Bowl
1 cup of frozen mixed berries
1 ripe banana
2-3 tablespoons almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powderÂ
Blend all these until you get a soft-serve consistency. Top with:
1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconutÂ
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
Granola
More fruit!
Super Green Smoothie Bowl
1/4 ripe avocado
2 medium ripe bananas
1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
2 large handfuls spinach
1 small handful kale
2 cups almond milk
1 tablespoon flax-seed meal
Blend all these until you get a soft-serve consistency. Top with:
Granola
Roasted sunflower seeds
Fresh berries
Overnight Oats
Delicious and easy? Sign me up! How convenient does it sound to wake up and have your healthy breakfast ready for you? That’s precisely what overnight oats are! You assemble them the night before and let them ~do their thing~ overnight, and in the morning, they’re ready to help you start your day! They contain more protein than just grains, they’re a rich source of fiber, and they are high in antioxidants. Bonus: The cutest way to prep these are in little mason jars, so you can even take them on the go!
Banana Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup unsweetened milk
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1/2 ripe banana, chopped or mashed
2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Whisk together all ingredients, spoon into a jar with a tight lid. Close and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before eating.
Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup unsweetened milk
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrupÂ
1/2 cup plain pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Whisk together all ingredients, spoon into a jar with a tight lid. Close and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before eating.
Avocado Toast
This one sounds pretty basic, and it is making it easy in the morning! But there’s still some thought that needs to go into it. Be sure to pick a good bread, and you can even top the avocado with more fun additions. Avocados are never going to not be trendy; here are some ways to make your avocado toast delicious for a healthy breakfast!
Bacon, Egg, and Avocado
Top your toasted piece of bread with a heap of avocado, followed by scrambled eggs, bacon, and some seasonings. Protein on protein!
Pico de Gallo
A Spanish twist on a classic breakfast, add some pico de gallo to your avocado toast for a flavorful morning.Â
Sushi Toast
I think this would be great for brunch. Add cucumber peeled into ribbons, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, scallions, and sliced nori for a sushi-inspired avocado toast.Â
Omelets
This breakfast classic has so many opportunities of what to fold into it. Packed with protein, omelets are a relatively easy breakfast, while also being nutritional, and easy on your wallet. Here are some ways to pack your omelet to best fit your taste-buds and keep you going all day.
Salsa, avocado, cilantro, lime
Isn’t it great how often avocados can be used in breakfast foods? This omelet is filled with all fresh ingredients and is great, especially in the summer.Â
Bell peppers and hummus
Hummus and peppers are a great snack by themselves. Why not experiment and add peppers and hummus to your next omelet? Hummus is packed with protein, and the peppers will add a nice bite and freshness.
Chicken, hollandaise sauce, capers
This one is chicken piccata-inspired! By adding these three ingredients that compliment each other so well, you’re bound to have a productive day.Â
Chia Seeds
No, I’m not telling you to eat a bowl of chia seeds for breakfast. Rather, incorporate them into your healthy breakfast! They’re high in protein, offer loads of antioxidants, almost all the carbs in them are fiber, and they help keep you feeling full! Here are some ideas of what to add them to:
- Your yogurt bowl, with granola and other fresh fruits
- Add them to your microwave oatmeal
- Even better, incorporate them into your overnight oats (see above!)
- 2 ingredient chia pudding! (The other ingredient is almond milk — how easy!)
- Throw them in with your protein shakes and smoothies
- Add them to your granola recipes
Greek Yogurt
I believe everyone should have a tub of Greek yogurt in their fridge. If you aren’t up to making overnight oats, or smoothie bowls aren’t your thing, a bowl of Greek yogurt is perfect for you. You can add fruit, granola, honey, anything you want to it! Eat it at home, or take it on the go! Super quick and easy, but also will definitely keep you fuller for longer.Â
