1. Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Bake
Apples and quinoa both have tons of fiber, plus quinoa is protein-rich. Make this apple pie-like bake and top it with yogurt and nuts for even
more protein.
2. Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
The same old yogurt can get boring. Try baking it for a
heartier casserole-like dish. Oats, applesauce and nuts provide fiber, while eggs
lend protein. Two cups of blueberries on top add flavor, color, fiber and
vitamins.
3. Oatmeal Muffins
Dress up these little oatmeal cups
in a variety of ways. The cookie-like bites are not only delicious, but you can
pack them with the fiber, protein and vitamins you need depending on the toppings.
4. Breakfast Meatballs
Why save delicious meatballs for lunch and dinner? They’re
portable, poppable and filled with fiber and vitamin-rich blueberries and
sweet potatoes.
5. Turkey and Egg Breakfast Casserole
Bake this casserole at the beginning of the week, and you’ll
have a couple of servings to reheat and eat. Turkey and eggs provide the
protein, while sweet potatoes give you iron, fiber and vitamin C.
6. Pumpkin Bran Muffins
The best muffins are brimming with toppings and flavors, and
this one does the job right with pumpkin seeds and fall spices. Pumpkin has so
many vitamins and fiber, and Greek yogurt is a protein bomb, so the
foundation of this muffin is solid, too.
7. Healthy Breakfast Burritos
Just because it’s grab and go doesn’t mean it’s unhealthy.
These burritos have turkey, eggs and cottage cheese for lean protein and the veggies
of your choice. Add what you like or what you need.
8. Veggie Eggs Bites
These cost how much at the coffee shop? Make your own for
less and add those veggies that you need to hit your daily recommended amount.
9. Healthy Breakfast Sandwiches
These sandwiches taste like a drive-thru, but are better with
iron-rich spinach and lycopene-rich tomatoes.
10. Southwest Protein Breakfast Bowls With Sweet Potato and Black Beans
Protein bowls aren’t just for lunch. They can be breakfast
food too, with beans, sweet potatoes, avocado and spinach on a bed of fluffy
eggs. The protein and fiber here are off the charts.
11. Zucchini Waffles
Instead of a syrup-induced blood sugar spike, try this
savory version of waffles with blood sugar-reducing zucchini. Cheese makes it a
tasty alternative.
12. Gut-Healing Smoothie
Smoothies are one of the most obvious choices for breakfast on the run, but choose your ingredients wisely. Too much sugar and you’ll feel
bad the rest of the day. This smoothie has a prebiotic powder and bananas to
promote better gut health, plus spinach and cauliflower for more fiber.
13. Baked Feta Eggs
On days you have a little more time, try this baked egg dish with feta cheese. Tomatoes, red pepper and spinach pack in the veggies, while eggs and feta bring on the protein.
