As we all know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it’s super important to start your day with something filling and healthy. These 10 healthy breakfast recipes are not only good for you, but they’re delicious as well!
Overnight oats make for a super easy and quick healthy breakfast recipe. The base recipe is very simple, just equal parts oats and liquid (yoghurt and/or milk) which is left in a bowl or jar to soak overnight. And to that you can add whatever flavour you like with fruits, nuts, seeds and spices. This recipe from Simple As That uses strawberries and chia seeds, but there are tonnes of other combinations out there. The best part is that it is made the night before, so there is no prep required in the morning. Perfect for those with busy schedules!
Among the many healthy breakfast recipes, green smoothies are a great option because you can get your serving of greens in before the day has even started! The basic recipe is one cup of greens, one cup of fruit and half to one cup of liquid (depending on how thick you like your smoothie). And from there you can customise the ingredients to your liking! This recipe from Fit Foodie Finds uses spinach, strawberries, bananas and almond milk.
Pancakes are usually seen as a bit of a treat, something to indulge in on the weekend. But this recipe from Top With Cinnamon has only two ingredients, meaning you can enjoy your pancakes without worrying about the usual nasties it contains. These pancakes are simply made with mashed banana and egg. That’s it! You can of course add some extra flavour like cinnamon, fruits and nuts, but the base of this recipe is sugar free, gluten free and dairy free.
On a super busy morning, you may be tempted to just grab a muesli bar and head out the door. And while this may seem like a healthy option, store-bought health foods can sometimes have more hidden sugars than we realise. So why not make your own? You’ll know exactly what’s in there and won’t feel as guilty the next time you have to grab breakfast and go! Check out this homemade muesli bar recipe from Minimalist Baker.
Avocado on toast is such a simple healthy breakfast recipe, but it is packed with health benefits as avocados contain plenty of healthy fats, fibre and nutrients. Start with toasted brown bread and top with your smashed avocado, which can be seasoned and flavoured with a dash of lime juice. And from there top with your favourite healthy ingredients, such as a poached egg, bacon and goats cheese or tomato and basil. Check out Kitchn for more avocado on toast ideas!
Quinoa is one of those healthy super foods commonly used in salads and other lunchtime meals, but you can also enjoy it at breakfast! This recipe from Well And Full cooks the quinoa in almond milk and flavours it with chai tea for a unique twist. It is then served with pecans, coconut and cinnamon, but you can change up the flavours to whatever you like!
Breakfast burritos are perfect for those with busy mornings because you can make them ahead of time and simply re-heat and go. This recipe from Sweet Peas and Saffron is packed with kale and mushrooms for a super healthy way to start the day. A breakfast burrito is also very filling, so you won’t find yourself craving snacks before lunch!
If you skip breakfast, a tempting option is to buy a muffin on the way to work or university. This may seem healthy, but making your own breakfast muffins ahead of time is much better for you. Not only does it provide you something you can quickly grab and head out the door with, but you’ll know exactly what’s in it. This recipe from Cookie and Kate uses oats and bananas, and replaces sugar with honey.
These fritters from BBC Good Food make for a super healthy breakfast recipe as they are packed with delicious veggies such as broccoli and zucchini, getting in two of your five a day. It’s easy to prepare and very filling, keeping you fuller for longer. And you can, of course, add more of your favourite vegetables like corn or a topping of smashed avocado.
Porridge is often bought in those little flavoured sachets which can be quickly microwaved. But the store bought porridge is often full of sugar, so it’s much better to make your own. With no added sugar, you can sweeten and flavour it with fruits, spices and nuts. This recipe from BBC Good Food pairs the porridge with figs and berries for a healthy, yummy start to the day.
