Last week, when I shared my favorite 1-minute snack ideas with you all, I got a request for breakfast ideas.
I used to be the person who could eat toast and peanut butter or oatmeal and peanut butter for days on end, but now I’ve noticed that I need a little more variety in the morning.
(source) FYI: this is NOT what breakfasts look like in our home. 🙂
Here are my favorite healthy breakfast ideas to give you some inspiration for your morning meal – please add yours to the list!
Healthy Breakfast Ideas:Â
- breakfast quesadilla or burrito: tortilla + eggs + veggies + cheese + salsa
- protein pancakes (recipe from meals & moves)
- breakfast sandwich: egg + english muffin + cheese
- smoothie: frozen fruits + leafy greens + milk + protein blended together until smooth
- (fun!) oatmeal (tips on oatmeal and recipe ideas)
- protein plate: hard boiled egg + banana + peanut butter
- rush breakfast: protein/granola bar + apple
- paleo inspired cereal: fresh berries + chopped nuts + milk
- eggs: 1-2 eggs + toast
- greek yogurt parfait: 1 serving greek yogurt + fresh fruit + 1 serving cereal or granola
- amped up cereal: high fiber cereal + fresh fruit + 1 Tbsp nuts  or nut butter + milk
- macrobiotic breakfast: brown rice + miso soup

I don’t really have time to cook in the morning, so I have been having a toaster waffle and protein shake on my morning drive, but I am constantly searching for breakfast ideas! So far my favorite suggestion has been scrambled eggs in a whole wheat pita pocket (for portability)
Emily
That is a great idea, perfect to take out the door with you!

Love this! Great ideas and mentioned this on my Facebook page to share with my readers. Never thought of adding PB to amped up cereal…Very tempting! Have a great day! 🙂

I like whole wheat pasta with veggies and marinara for breakfast. Also brown rice stir-fried with veggies and an egg. Vegetarian chili as well.
I’m trying to keep my meals mostly plant based but I haaateeeee tofu. It makes me ill.
And breakfast has never been my favorite meal so I like eating more on the savory side!
Emily
I’m a savory breakfast fan too – LOVE brown rice + egg + veggies!

One of my favorites (besides oatmeal) is greek yogurt with fruit and granola! Great list Em!

Healthy homefries with an egg (just stir fried onions/peppers and potatoes) are always a good weekend breakfast! Or French toast. I love French toast. 🙂

Hey I fired up my Express 101 the other day to make an omlet. How about a blog on your fav 101 recipes.
Emily
Ha! I think you might be the only person who has one…can’t wait to hear about it though. I think you should make corn dogs – they always look good in the infomercials!

I love egg sandwiches and yogurt bowls. I could eat breakfast all day long 🙂
Rachel @ The Avid Appetite
Love this list! I’ve also been enjoying a tortilla folded in half with a WW cheddar cheese stick inside. Microwave for 30 seconds, open tortilla, spread cheese around and eat! I also love a banana with pb on the side.

I was just writing a post about smoothies! You have me hooked….. I wish I enjoyed more breakfast food

Love, love love this! I’ve been doing weight watchers for nearly two months, and this is perfect for new breakfast ideas I need!

Awesome, thank you so much for answering my request, you are AWESOME! I really appreciate the great ideas, I’ll definitely be sticking some of these into my menu. I actually just discovered protein pancakes and have been making them on days that I workout, I loooove them!
Emily
You bet! I just picked up some protein powder to try protein pancakes – can’t wait!
Kristin @ FoodFash
Love the fresh berries/nuts/milk idea! I’d definitely opt for almond milk, but it still sounds so yummy.
Emily
I’ve only tried with almond milk – delicious!
Luv What You Do
Baked omlets in a muffin cup.
Take your leftover veggies, stir them into an egg mixture, top with cheese and bake in the oven. They are easy, healthy, and filling with a piece of whole grain toast.
This crockpot breakfast porridge is another star. You can freeze it for easy eating during the week!

Great list. I got a little tired of oatmeal so now I’m doing green smoothies in the morning.
Paige @ Running Around Normal
Great ideas! Ihaven’t made a breakfast burrito in quite some time.

I’m loving the amped up cereal! Adding a few pieces of fruit and a handful of nuts to my bowl of Kellogg’s FiberPlus(R) cereal is always a great way to start my day.

What delicious ideas! I love toast with nut butter and a banana: so delicious and keeps you satisfied. <3
