Healthy Breakfast Ideas
We’ve heard it and know it by heart—the oft-repeated mantra, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”
But too often the back-to-school rush of packing lunches, figuring out dinner plans, choosing healthy snacks, etc., breakfast can get left behind in the shuffle.
Even if you’re not sending littles (or bigs) out the door, I’m all about having options to mix up my healthy breakfast eating routine, because you KNOW I’m not one to skip any meal, but most importantly not breakfast and my daily time-to-be-just-with-me quiet time.
This list of 15 quick healthy breakfast recipesprovides three week’s worth of weekday breakfast options that will get you out the door quickly without sacrificing your diet, sanity, or valuable hair blow-drying time.

Bust out that Instant Pot and get ready to make your mornings a whole lot easier with this quick and tasty recipe. Literally set it and forget it to make a batch for the entire week in less time than it takes for a morning shower. Pile on the toppings for a family-friendly breakfast everyone can enjoy.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Everyone has time for chocolate in the morning, am I right? These yummy treats feel indulgent, but are packed with healthy ingredients like oats, flax, and chia seeds to get your morning off on the right foot. Plus cocoa powder=antioxidants.

Oats, cherries, berries and banana soak in almond milk overnight in the refrigerator to create a no-cook red, white and blue layered, healthy on-the-go breakfast in a jar. Such an easy, healthy breakfast idea!
