Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and can help give you the energy you need to function your best. Research has shown that those who eat a healthy breakfast snack less during the day and have more long-lasting energy versus the short energy bursts from sugar. But you don’t have to settle for a bowl of sugary cereal or eating dry toast. If you are looking for ways to add variety and taste to your breakfast, then try these three quick and healthy breakfast ideas. Not only are they tasty and good for you, they will ensure you start your day right!
Healthy Breakfast Ideas to Start Your Day Off Right
Fruity Yogurt Bowl
One of the most delicious healthy breakfast ideas is made with Greek yogurt, which has double the protein of regular yogurt. Ever since Greek yogurt has hit the shelves of grocery stores in North America, people have gone crazy over it due to the taste and consistency.
Ingredients:
1 container Greek yogurt
1 pineapple slice, sliced in bite-sized pieces
1 orange, peeled and sliced
1 dozen almonds
A few blackberries
Directions:
Put Greek yogurt in a bowl.
Place oranges along the edge of the bowl, making a circle around the yogurt.
Add orange slices, almonds and blackberries in the bowl of Greek yogurt.
Enjoy!
Berry Yogurt Mix
I just love berries and they offer many health benefits, such as its high fiber content and being full of antioxidants. Some research studies also show that they may prevent certain types of cancers. My favorite berries to add to healthy breakfast ideas are raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.
Ingredients:
1 container strawberry flavored yogurt
2 whole strawberries
A few blackberries
Directions:
Put yogurt in a bowl and add the berries.
Yummy!
Fruity Egg Plate
If you have a few minutes to make some eggs, then you will be giving your body some needed protein, which can give you some long-lasting energy that will not spike your blood sugar. Healthy breakfast ideas should have a nice serving a fruit to help jump-start your day and this recipe has just that.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 strawberries, sliced in half
2 slices of cheese (your choice)
1 banana, sliced
1 orange, peeled and sliced
½ can of tuna, drained
Directions:
Cook eggs until they are overeasy.
Place eggs on plate and add fruit and cheese.
Add the drained tuna to your plate.
Bon appetit!
All three of these healthy breakfast ideas are quick and easy to make. Add some variety in the first meal of your day by adding some fruit and beat the boring breakfast blues!

Greek yogurt and fruit is one of my favorite breakfast ideas!
Thanks! I love Greek yogurt and love fruit and they really do make a fantastic combination!
Looking at these yummy pictures just reminded me that I have not had lunch…
lol!
I love berries and yogurt….or All-bran buds in yogurt…yummy!!
Berries are my favorite!
Hmmmm, those look delicious! I’m a big breakfast person – I need some food to start out my day and I love most traditional breakfasts. Thanks for these ideas.
Me too – I don’t function very well unless I have a good breakfast.
I find that it helps start my day off right (not only because breakfast is the most important meal of the day, smile) if I’m eating a lot of protein. In turn, we eat a lot of eggs. Your picture made me hungry!
I didn’t think to add nuts to a meal but that’s easy enough to do. Thanks for the idea.
