If you can’t tell by now, I LOVE breakfast. It’s my favorite meal of the day and I could eat breakfast recipes all day long. Breakfast for dinner? Sign me up! So I thought I’d share with you guys a whole new list of yummy healthy breakfast recipes! If you missed my first balanced breakfast recipes post, see it here!
7 Delicious Healthy Breakfast Recipes
I will never recommend any recipes to you guys that I wouldn’t eat. These are all recipes that I eat all the time and love. They make you feel great and give you lasting energy until lunch. And I always make sure to create balanced recipes. AKA they all have a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
1. Avocado Toast with a Vegan Berry Protein Smoothie
For the smoothie, I used the following ingredients. 5-7 frozen strawberries, ¼ cup frozen blueberries, filled to cover with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 scoop of my favorite vegan protein! (Use code VITALITY for 30% off Orgain’s site)
For the avocado toast I used the following. One piece of golden wheat toast & ½ a smashed avocado with salt, pepper, and the secret ingredient: lemon pepper! just a few lil shakes, don’t add too much or it will taste weird. I don’t know how I just discovered lemon pepper a few weeks ago… But I’m so glad I did! I’ve been putting it on everything and it’s amazing. Chicken, vegetables, salads… It’s so versatile and yummy.
2. Apple Cinnamon & Peanut Butter Protein Oats
This would be perfect curled up by the fire with a warm cup of coffee on the first day of fall. 🙂 Or ya know, on a 90-degree sunny day in the Florida summer…
While the ambiance isn’t ideal at the moment, these are absolutely scrumptious! And incredibly easy. Whip these bad boys up in under 10 minutes for an easy weekday breakfast.
Cook your oatmeal as you usually would, either with water or milk. While the oats are cooking, heat up a ½ tbsp of unsalted butter into a small pan. Dice up a medium-sized apple into bite-size pieces. Once the pan is at medium heat, add the apples in and cook them until a little soft (about 3-5 minutes).
While they’re cooking, sprinkle on cinnamon and add honey to taste. Once the oatmeal is cooked, add in a pinch of salt and a scoop of vanilla (or any flavor) protein. I used Orgain vegan vanilla (as usual)! Add the cooked cinnamon apples on top along with a big spoonful of natural peanut butter (or any nut butter).
And you’re done! So yummy. 🙂 I ate mine with an orange and was good to go. On a hungrier day, I may have added in a yogurt or smoothie as well. And of course, a cup of my delicious iced coffee!
3. My Banana Berry Smoothie Bowl
This banana berry protein smoothie bowl just never gets old. It’s the perfect healthy breakfast when you’re pressed for time. You can whip it up in under 5 minutes. And sometimes I even bring it to work with me in a Tupperware container, if I don’t have time to eat at home.
It’s so nutrient-dense as well! Chock full of berries, banana, protein, and Calcium from the almond milk. It’s also completely customizable. You can add any toppings you want and easily switch out the fruits you’re adding in. You can’t go wrong. Check out the smoothie bowl here!
4. Fruity Blueberry & Apple Protein Oats (with Almond Butter)
If you couldn’t tell yet, I LOVE some oats for breakfast! They’re not only quick and easy but also packed with fiber, complex carbohydrates, and vitamins & minerals. And depending on what you pick as your toppings, you can pack in the protein and healthy fats easily. I love protein powder and some form of nut butter in all my oats. But you can just as easily use chia seeds, flax seeds, milk, or whatever you like!
Make your oatmeal how you normally would. While it’s cooking, add in a handful of blueberries (I used defrosted frozen blueberries). Add in one scoop of protein powder (I used Orgain Vegan Vanilla Protein because it’s my favorite! *code VITALITY = 30% off*). While the oatmeal is cooking, dice up one apple.
Once your oatmeal is cooked, add the diced apple on top and almond butter. I LOVE Justin’s Maple Almond Butter. It’s the best flavor and it never gets old. If you think another flavor is better… You’re wrong. 😉 Just kidding (kind of). You can melt and drizzle your almond butter or just plop it on top of the apple.
I ended up adding honey for a little extra sweetness. I also had a piece of this delicious chocolate chip banana bread on the side!
5. Healthy Breakfast On-the-Go: Good! Snacks Protein Bar, Fruit & Nut Butter
Sometimes, you just don’t have time to cook breakfast at all. In times like these when I’m running out the door, I turn to my go-to. My favorite ever vegan protein bars: Good! Snacks Protein Bars. I’ve been searching long & hard for a vegan protein bar that actually tastes good (not like cardboard). Let me tell you… It has not been an easy search! But I finally found these protein bars that are not only delicious, but also sit well with my stomach. (Whey protein bars give me gas & constipation. TMI? Sorry, but it’s the truth!)
So when I’m on the go and need to get my protein in somehow, I always turn to these guys. My favorite flavors are the Birthday Cake & Cookie Dough. Honestly, all the flavors are great though (I’ve tried them all). They have an awesome multi-flavor pack on Amazon, so you can test them all out if you’ve never had them.
I’ll pair these bad boys with a banana and almond butter, and you have a tasty balanced breakfast. I’m sure a lot of you guys are busy like me, so this on-the-go healthy breakfast is perfect for those busy mornings!
6. Healthy Egg & Veggie Breakfast Burrito
If you’re looking for a more savory breakfast, these breakfast burritos are so easy and yummy! They take under 10 minutes to whip up. You can make these for lunch or dinner too, so they’re super versatile. You start by heating up a pan with some butter and cooking about 1/8 cup of diced onion. Add a couple of eggs, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk up. Cook the onion for about 3-5 minutes. While the onion is cooking, slice up an avocado.
Once the onion is cooked through, add in the egg mixture. Cook for a few minutes, stirring often. Once it’s cooked through, push to the side of the pan and add some olive oil to the other half. Throw in a handful of spinach and cook it until it’s cooked down. Throw on some more salt & pepper and mix everything together.
Add some shredded cheese on top and mix it all together. Once the cheese is melted and everything’s mixed, pour the mixture into a bowl on the side. Butter the pan and throw on your first tortilla. Once the first side is toasty, flip it over and add the egg mixture. Add some extra cheese on top if you like things cheesy.
Add on the sliced avocado and hot sauce (if you want). Roll the burrito up and remove it from the pan. & Voila, you have an easy, healthy egg burrito breakfast! I made one for myself and my boyfriend, so I used 3 eggs total. I could have used a bit more, but that’s all the eggs we had left. I’d say around 2 eggs per burrito is great but add however much depending on your hunger level.
I don’t crave savory breakfasts often, but when I do this one hits the spot! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did. 🙂
7. Healthy Blueberry Pancakes
I’ve been loving these easy blueberry pancakes lately! I use Birch Benders Paleo pancake mix and it’s incredible. Honestly it tastes so similar to regular pancake mix but it’s much better for you. I love the Paleo mix but they also have Keto, Protein, Plant Protein, Gluten-Free, and more. If you have any special dietary needs, they probably have a pancake mix to meet them!
I whipped up these babies with blueberries added inside and homemade blueberry syrup. Well… sort of homemade. I just take maple syrup (or honey) and mix it with melted blueberries. I did this by microwaving the blueberries until they became liquid and then adding in the syrup. If you have more time, you can do this on the stove instead.
All we have is frozen blueberries at the moment, so I just used those! Before adding them to the pancakes, I defrosted them. The ones I used for the sauce, I didn’t worry about thawing out. I just put them in a bowl and microwaved them (covered) for about a minute. Then mixed in the maple syrup from there.
They turned out great! These are a little more time consuming than some of the other breakfasts. But only ended up taking about 10 minutes to make 6 cakes. 🙂 I added butter on top too!
I hope you all enjoy these breakfast recipes! Comment below what your go-to breakfast has been lately. Or your all-time favorite! 🙂 Mine has always been pancakes. I’ll always take Sweet breakfasts > Savory.
