Starting Your Day on the Right Foot

It’s been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but for many of us, a long, leisurely breakfast is not typically in the cards. Quick breakfasts are not necessarily healthy breakfasts, as we grab what’s easiest while dashing out the door or, worse, skip breakfast altogether in favor of making it to wherever we need to be. We’ve got good news! Breakfast need not take a long time, and with these quick and healthy breakfast ideas, you will be on your way in a jiffy, with a nutritious meal under your belt.

Make-Ahead Meals

• Grab a muffin on the go. Whether you prefer Lemon-Almond Poppy Seed Muffins with a crunchy topping or tender, fluffy Blueberry Muffins, it’s easy to make them when you have a few minutes and have them ready to go when you need to dash off to work or school. And while they’re not quite muffins, French Toast Sticks and Breakfast Cookies are also delicious baked treats to grab for breakfast.
• Skip the store–bought cereal. Why eat boxed cereal when you can top your yogurt with nutritious Almond Buckwheat Granola or Toasted Oat Muesli you make ahead of time?
• Pack in the protein with egg-based make-ahead breakfasts. You can prep these Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos or Spinach Prosciutto Frittata Muffins on the weekend and reheat them on busy weekday mornings. You can make these Bacon Egg Cheese Pastries and freeze them ahead of time, or whip up Make-Ahead Egg Sandwiches at night to eat the next morning.
• Keep some pancakes at the ready. These Greek Yogurt Pancakes are full of protein and can be frozen ahead of time for quick and easy breakfasts.
• Overnight grains make for a hearty breakfast. You’ve probably heard of Overnight Oats, but you can also make Blackberry Ginger Overnight Bulgur, for easy and filling nutrition.

Easy to Pull Together

• Eggs don’t have to take much effort. Roast potatoes ahead of time, and by just cooking chorizo and making eggs you can whip up this Roasted Potato and Chorizo Hash. This three-step recipe for Sausage and Egg Sandwiches is easy and delicious, and Sheet Pan Eggs feed a crowd with only five minutes of effort. For a pretty, nutritious egg dish, try these Flower Power Sunny Side Eggs.
• Craving pancakes? There’s no need to spend all morning cooking them individually when you can just make a sheet pan pancake and slice it! This PB Chocolate Sheet Pan Pancake has nine grams of protein, and if you bake it ahead of time, you have even easier pancakes all week.
• Don’t hold avocado toast’s trendiness against it. There’s a reason why Avocado Toast is so popular! It’s delicious, nutritious and surprisingly easy to make for breakfast.

Store-Bought Time Savers

Yogurt, oatmeal, and cottage cheese are all readily available at your local grocery store, but they make for great breakfasts when you toss in some add-ons. Try topping Instant Oatmeal with Cranberries and Pecans, or enjoy this Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl This Berry Yogurt Bowl is a breakfast full of protein, and even more nutritious with granola you’ve made yourself.

Smoothies to Go

Perhaps the simplest way to grab a nutritious, delicious breakfast on the go is to whip up a smoothie. Bored of your to-go smoothies? Try these yummy options.

• Pineapple Cucumber Smoothie
• Blueberry Banana Nut Smoothie
• Coconut Raspberry Smoothie
• Strawberry Mango Milkshake
• PB&J Smoothie
• Pumpkin Smoothie
• Choose Your Own Adventure Smoothie: With pre-made smoothie mixes at the ready, you can decide on the fly what kind of smoothie you want in the morning.
