Healthy Breakfasts For Busy Mornings

Between getting dressed, dropping the kids off at school and making it to work on time, some days, the best kind of breakfast is one that’s quick and easy to prepare. You can enjoy a meal in moments without sacrificing flavor or nutrients with these simple recipes featuring our gourmet ingredients.

Healthy Morning Glory Muffins

An oat-based muffin packed with healthy carrots and zucchini, lightly sweetened with raisins and just a pinch of sugar makes a perfect breakfast or snack. Use a mini-muffin tin for smaller portions, and eliminate or cut back on the brown sugar or choose a healthier substitute to cut back on sugar.

Avocado Toast With Egg

In this recipe, 2 slices of whole-grain bread, lightly toasted, topped with smashed avocado and a sprinkling of salt and pepper makes for a flavorful and rich base. Top that with two sunny-side-up eggs for a healthy dose of protein, and you've got a well-rounded breakfast. Stack 'em in a tupperware container for easy transport or cook the yolks a bit more and make the whole thing into a sandwich.

Morning Pizza

Take a slice of crusty bread, and spread it with 2 tablespoons of ricotta (preferably low fat) and sliced tomatoes. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Your delicious, healthy breakfast is ready in minutes.

Fruit And Yogurt Parfait

One of the easiest, tastiest, and healthiest breakfast options is a classic fruit and yogurt parfait. Take 2 cups of low fat yogurt and mix it with 1 cup of granola cereal, chia seeds or pomegranate seeds and a splash of milk. Layer the mixture with berries and your favorite frozen fruits in a jar for a make-ahead, grab and go breakfast.

Apple Rings

Apple rings are a delicious substitute for pancakes. Start by cutting an assortment of our apples into lengthwise slices. Then, dip the slices in buttermilk before coating with a mixture of flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Lastly, pan fry until golden brown and serve with maple syrup.
