Looking for a healthy breakfast idea that’s quick, delicious, and packed with nutrients? Mornings can be hectic, and it’s easy to skip breakfast or grab something unhealthy on the go. However, starting your day with a nutritious meal is key to staying energised and focused. The good news? You don’t need a lot of time to fuel your body with something healthy.
In this post, i’m sharing five quick and delicious breakfast ideas that are easy to prepare, full of nutrients, and perfect for busy mornings.
Whether you’re looking for something to make ahead or whip up in minutes, these options will help you start your day right.
Healthy Breakfast Idea #1 – Overnight oats
A versatile and easy dish that you can prep the evening before. Simply grab it and take on the go the morning and you are all set.
The great thing about oats is you can make them best accumulate to your taste buds. A base of satiating carbs which can be topped with protein in the form of protein powder or 0% fat Greek yoghurt if you prefer a neutral taste. Throw in some chia seeds for healthy fats and antioxidants. Add some Bischoff, Nutella or dark chocolate for added sweetness and top with vitamins and minerals in the form of your favourite fruit- how could you not enjoy!
Healthy breakfast idea #2 – Smoothie
Another personal favourite with how it can be easily prepared the night before and contain all essential macro and micro nutrients. All you need is to keep some frozen fruit in the freezer add some of your oats, protein, nut butter, honey or chocolate blend all together and off you go! A personal favourite for me is oats, banana, honey, milk, vanilla protein and blend.
Healthy breakfast idea #3 – Avocado toast with eggs
If you have more time and want something warmer, eggs on wholemeal toast with sourdough is always a good choice. I usually use 2 full eggs and 1 egg white. This equals enough amino acids from protein and calorie friendly for me.
Avocado with a dash of lime, salt, pepper and chilli flakes is tasty. This will provide healthy fats and omegas. The wholemeal toast will provide carbs to give you energy for the day ahead.
Healthy breakfast idea #4 – Chia pudding
This is another option for a filling, nutritious breakfast which you can take on the go. Simply make it by soaking chia seeds in liquid – generally whole milk is used but any plant-based alternative also works. By leaving in the fridge overnight, a thick, yummy pudding like texture is formed by the absorption of the liquid by the chia seeds.
As chia seeds are rich in fibre, omega-3 fatty acids and protein, it is a filling and healthy option. Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolatey version, mix in mashed banana, blended berries, or mango puree for a fruity twist or simple scoop in protein powder for an extra boost of amino acids.
Healthy Breakfast Idea #5 – Breakfast on the road
If you have left without your breakfast, you are travelling or do not have access to preparing foods, do not fret. You can still get filling nutrient dense breakfast in rather than ‘forgetting about eating well’ while you are away. Still making an effort to do well is better than making none at all.
Grabbing a protein shake or bar, some peanuts and whatever fresh fruit you can find would make up a meal with carbs, fats and protein. Remember even though it may not be beneficial to have these things for breakfast every day, they will still provide you with more nutrients and energy than avoiding eating.
Healthy Breakfast Ideas in summary
No matter how busy your mornings are, incorporating a healthy breakfast idea can provide the essential nutrients and energy to kickstart your day.
