Looking for healthy breakfast recipes that are nutritious, easy to make and delicious? Here are our favorites.
Breakfast is, hands down, my favorite meal of the day – and breakfast foods are my favorite! From migas to eggs benedict to French toast, I love it all.

Perhaps even more important, having a stash of healthy breakfast recipes that are also quick, easy and delicious is a bonus when managing my busy schedule.
I love a weekday breakfast I can make ahead and I also look for something that is filling and packs a lot of protein for sustained energy throughout my day.

Vegan Banana Split Smoothie Bowl Recipe
A smoothie bowl recipe that tastes just like a banana split is the ultimate breakfast in my world. Frozen bananas are blended until smooth then everything is topped with your favorite toppings – just like a banana split! I highly recommend fresh fruit, peanuts, chopped dark chocolate and even a few colorful rainbow sprinkles for good measure.

Toaster Oven Egg Bake Recipe
Anything you can make in the toaster oven is automatically a hit for me. The toaster oven makes things quick and efficient, plus during the warm weather months it’s less likely to heat up your kitchen! This toaster oven egg bake is one of my favorite ways to make an easy breakfast. The recipe features cottage cheese, eggs, and spicy pepper jack cheese for lots of protein.
