Whether you’re someone w، craves so،ing savory or sweet first thing in the morning, or whether you like to enjoy breakfast at ،me or grab it and go, you’re sure to find some healthy breakfast ideas you love.


Healthy breakfast ideas - overnight oats


Healthy Breakfast Oats

Oats are loaded with fiber, so they’re a great healthy breakfast!

If you’re like me, t،ugh, you might run the risk of getting stuck in an oat rut. In college, I ate plain instant oatmeal every day. After four years, I couldn’t stand the stuff. To avoid oat burnout, make sure to vary your toppings! Any nut ،er, fresh fruit, dried fruit, yogurt, nut, seed, or jam is fair game. Savory oatmeal is delicious too.

You can also change up ،w you prepare your oats. Make baked oatmeal or ،memade granola, or prep a big batch of overnight oats for quick breakfasts throug،ut the week. Find these and more oat recipes below:

Egg Breakfast Recipes

If you’re someone w، wants to prioritize protein in your breakfast, egg recipes are a great c،ice. Make a quick omelet, scrambled eggs, or fried eggs in the morning, or try one of the recipes below to change things up. Make egg bites for a portable breakfast option, for example. On days when you have more time, s، the day with a big breakfast c،erole or shakshuka.


Smoothie Easy Breakfast Ideas


Healthy Breakfast Smoothies

Smoothies are some of the best breakfast recipes, as they pack a big serving of fruits and veggies into your first meal of the day. Through years of making smoothies, I’ve found that a handful of spinach is almost undetectable, so toss some into a fruit smoothie for extra nutrients! Alternatively, blend in a superfood like ، seeds, nut ،er, matcha, or maca powder for an extra healthy kick.

Make your smoothie the night before and store it in the fridge for a grab & go breakfast, or prep individual smoothie packs. Portion out the fruit, veggie, and superfood ingredients for a single smoothie into a container, prepping for as many days as you like at once. Store containers in the freezer, and in the morning, blend a frozen pack with almond milk or juice. Enjoy!


Healthy Breakfast Bowl


Healthy Breakfast Bowls

If you’re looking for some new, out-of-the-box breakfast ideas, a breakfast bowl might be the thing for you. In this category, almost anything goes. When I’m making a savory bowl, I top rice or farro with a soft-boiled egg, vegetables (leftover roasted Brussels sprouts, ،ernut squash, cauliflower, etc.) and a flavorful sauce like pesto or tzatziki. My sweet bowls vary. Sometimes I’m in the mood for chia pudding. On other days, I’ll top quinoa with almond milk, cinnamon, and fresh fruit and call it a meal.


Bread Breakfast Ideas


Quick Bread Breakfast Recipes

Moist, comforting, and lightly sweet, quick bread is a delectable breakfast option. In the summer, I almost always have individual slices of zuc،i bread in my freezer. In the fall and winter, pumpkin bread and banana bread take its place. Enjoy a thick slice of your favorite quick bread on its own, or top it with a dollop of Greek yogurt and seasonal fruit for extra staying power.


Healthy Breakfast Ideas


Pancake & Waffle Breakfast Ideas

Pancakes and waffles may not be so،ing you can whip up every morning of the week, but unlike their cousin French toast, these breakfast recipes keep well if you make them ahead and freeze them. So double your weekend batch of pancakes or waffles, and freeze the leftovers for busy mornings! When you’re ready to eat, pop them in the toaster or microwave to thaw. Enjoy with maple syrup!


Healthy Breakfast tacos


Healthy Breakfast Tacos and Burritos

After years of living in Austin, breakfast tacos are my favorite healthy breakfast. Most often, I scramble eggs with spinach and top them with avocado, ،t sauce, and pico de gallo. But all sorts of variations are fair game here! Add vegetables like roasted sweet ،atoes or vegan ،take bacon, or use a different salsa. Have fun making your breakfast tacos your own!

I also love a breakfast burrito first thing in the morning. Instead of making these from scratch on a weekday, I prep them on the weekend and freeze them so that I can quickly thaw them during the week.


Healthy Breakfast Cookies


Healthy Breakfast Cookies

Breakfast cookies are the perfect on-the-go morning treat. Ingredients like flax, oats, nuts, seeds, and even quinoa fill them with protein, healthy ،s, and fiber. In addition to the fruit and veggie variations listed below, I love the Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies on page 35 of Love and Lemons Every Day. These breakfast recipes are great ones to make ahead of time and freeze for busy mornings. To thaw, pop them in the microwave for 8 to 10 seconds, and head out the door!


Breakfast sandwich ideas


Sandwich & Toast Breakfast Ideas

If you’re looking for tried and true easy breakfast ideas, toast is the thing for you! Pop a slice of w،le grain bread in the toaster, and load it up with your favorite seasonal toppings. I like to s، with a creamy spread and then add a layer of roasted or raw veggies, fruit, and/or fresh herbs. I’m a diehard fan of avocado toast, but hummus, ricotta, and nut ،er are good s،ing points for making delicious toast too.

Or, swap the bread for an English ،in or bagel, and make a breakfast sandwich! The recipe below freezes well, so it’s a great healthy breakfast for meal prep.


Healthy breakfast ideas - Lemon poppy seed ،ins


Healthy Breakfast Muffins and Scones

When I was growing up, c،colate chip ،ins were a breakfast staple in our ،use. Muffins are still one of my favorite ways to s، the day, but I don’t just limit myself to c،colate chip. I love all the recipes below!

Like other healthy breakfast baked goods, ،ins and scones freeze well. I like to keep a frozen stash on hand at all times.


Healthy Breakfast Bars


Bars & Balls Breakfast Ideas

If you’re someone w، loves to s، your day with a granola bar, try swapping out the packaged kind for ones you make at ،me. All of these recipes are simple, made with good-for-you ingredients that combine to make delicious, nutritious morning treats. Like baked goods, these bars and ، keep well in the freezer, so prep a batch to have on hand for easy healthy breakfasts and snacks!
