97 Healthy Breakfast Recipes To Start Your Day

If you’re anything like us, breakfast is a must in the morning. Not only do we think that everything from eggs to pancakes is completely delectable (and worth waking up for!) but we find that making time for a morning meal really sets the tone for our entire day. Whether you need extra protein to keep you going strong or a low-carb breakfast that won't weigh you down, you'll find exactly what you're looking for in this roundup. Healthy oatmeal, smoothies, breakfast bowls—you've got so many delicious and satisfying options. Need something handheld that you can take on the go? We’ve got that covered, too. Start with Ellie’s whole-wheat breakfast burritos. They’re packed with veggies, eggs and beans—and perfect if you’re an eggs-and-hot-sauce kind of breakfast person.

A high-protein breakfast doesn’t have to mean eggs, meat or protein powder. Oats, nuts, seeds and cottage cheese give this easy make-ahead recipe 20 grams of protein, and as a bonus you won’t even have to turn on your stove. Creamy coconut, bits of dark chocolate and crunchy almonds mean you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for a healthy breakfast.

These protein-packed raspberry muffins are a healthy addition to your breakfast or afternoon snack, thanks to the creamy almond butter, rich Greek yogurt, nutty almond flour and touch of vanilla-flavored protein powder, providing 10 grams of protein per serving. The tart raspberries and touch of cardamom add brightness and punch to these delicious treats. While these muffins add a boost of protein, they shouldn’t be considered a full meal replacement. We recommend pairing with a hard-boiled egg or cup of Greek yogurt for even more protein.

Much like a composed salad, this visually arresting Nordic-inspired bowl of porridge is a delightful way to start the day.
