One of the biggest things that can stop us from making a balanced meal in the morning is not only time, but knowing just what the heck even makes a solid, filling meal.
But what if I told you, you can have a balanced, filling breakfast in the amount of time it takes you to drive to your local Starbucks for coffee?
The good news is that healthy morning breakfasts don’t have to be all time consuming, and can be super delicious. So if you’ve been routinely skipping breakfast because you’re not sure what to make, then keep reading!
Healthy Breakfast Ideas
#1 – Eggs & Avocado Toast
What I love about this meal, is that it takes less than 20 minutes to put together and leaves me feeling satiated and energized to take on the morning!
What you’ll need:
- Two eggs
- Dave’s killer bread or sourdough bread
- Strawberries (or fruit of choice)
- ½ Avocado
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Everything but the bagel seasoning (for toast)
- Chile lime seasoning (for eggs)
Quick note: When I’m really pressed for time, I like to heat up these egg bites from Trader Joe’s. They take only 60 seconds!
#2 – Oats, oats, oats!
If you’re not a big fan of eggs in the morning, oatmeal can be a great breakfast choice! Not only is oatmeal a good source of fiber and carbohydrates for energy, it’s also quick to put together AND affordable — yes please!
What you’ll need:
- Oats
- Sliced strawberries
- Sliced banana
- Creamy peanut butter
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla
- Unsalted butter
I like to use steel cut oats and bring them to a boil on the stove for a fluffier texture, but you can opt for packet oatmeal when short on time.
Quick note: Make this oatmeal protein packed by adding egg whites to the oats! Abbey Sharp has a great recipe for this.
#3 – Breakfast Sandwich
I love sandwiches, but something about a breakfast sandwich hits different. I take two fried eggs, toast some bread (sourdough or Dave’s killer bread are my bread of choice) and add on the toppings. Super filling, tasty, and easy!
What you’ll need:
- Two fried eggs
- Olive oil
- Sourdough (or bread of choice)
- Arugula
- Sriracha
- Salt
- Pepper
- Turkey bacon
