Breakfast is the first important decision you make every day. If you’re one of those people who skips it or finds yourself constantly reaching for sugary options with little nutritional value, then these healthy breakfast ideas are definitely for you!

Tips for Eating a Healthy Breakfast

  • Meal Prep. It’s so much easier to make healthy choices when you plan ahead. It also saves you time in the morning when you’re rushing to get ready for work or school. Make meals before you’re hungry and then you’ll always have something nutritious to eat.
  • Eat whole, real food. Skip the boxed cereal and frozen prepackaged meals because they’re full of artificial sweeteners and additives. Homemade breakfast is healthier and tastes so much better!
  • Try a protein-dense smoothie as a meal replacement. This is convenient and good for you too! If you work out in the morning, having a protein smoothie for breakfast assists in muscle recovery and weight loss.
  • Consume veggie-forward meals. Vegetables aren’t reserved for just lunch or dinner. Introduce more vitamins and nutrients into your diet by adding veggies to your eggs, breakfast bowls, and smoothies.
  • Freeze for later. Breakfast staples like pancakes, waffles, and quick breads can be made ahead and frozen for later. Then all you have to do in the morning is warm it up and go!
