]]> Made with fresh fruits, yogurt, and seeds, this healthy parfait makes the perfect breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert. You can mix and match with the fruit you have in the house and what’s in season. Mango, strawberries, melon, and grapes would also work well!

Seeds are a fantastic source of healthy fats, fiber, protein, and essential micronutrients like magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, B vitamins, and vitamin E.

Sheep milk yogurt is higher in nutrients like protein and calcium than regular cow milk yogurt, and has a much milder flavor than goat milk yogurt.

Ingredients:

  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 an apple, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 a grapefruit, skin, pith and segment membranes removed.
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup plain sheep’s yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, linseeds, chia seeds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Honey or other natural sweetener

Instructions:

  1. Prepare all the fruits, assemble in a bowl and mix to combine.
  2. Top with the sheep’s yogurt.
  3. Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat and add the seeds. Toast them until they start to pop—be aware of flying seeds!
  4. Top the yogurt with the toasted seeds and add a dusting of cinnamon and drizzle of honey.
  5. Enjoy!

]]> They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but when it comes to feeling full and focused, exactly what we eat matters. Pancakes, for example, have been a breakfast staple in the US for decades, but the high-sugar content and lack of protein in traditional pancakes are a recipe for a blood sugar spike and crash. Fortunately, with a few simple swaps, it’s possible to make healthy, high-protein pancakes that are as nutritious as they are tasty. Read on for our go-to recipe.

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond milk

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix together oat flour, almond flour, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and almond milk.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix. A few lumps are okay.
  4. Leave the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the flours and seeds to absorb the liquid, and enhances the texture of the pancakes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with cooking spray.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving enough space to flip them with a spatula. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on the surface, then flip to cook the other side. Repeat until all batter is used.
  7. Remove from heat and serve with your favorite toppings. Our go-to is a drizzle of maple syrup, some fresh berries, and a handful of chopped nuts.

]]> When we were kids, there were few things we looked forward to more than waking up on Saturday mornings to the smell of French toast wafting from the kitchen. Rich, creamy, and drowned in maple syrup, French toast felt more like dessert than breakfast, even more so than pancakes or waffles.

Traditionally, French toast is made by dipping slices of bread into a mixture of egg and milk, then pan-frying them until golden and crispy. Vanilla and cinnamon are also often added for flavor, though some food bloggers have found ways to take French toast to the next level by putting their own spin on this classic dish. Read on for some of our favorite French toast upgrades.

S’mores French Toast

Breakfast reimagined, campfire style. This French toast recipe by Spicy Southern Kitchen takes us back to our childhood by coating the bread in graham cracker crumbs and stuffing it with layers of chocolate and marshmallow. The result is ooey, gooey, and seriously indulgent, only to be improved with a drizzle of hot fudge.

Peanut Butter & Jelly French Toast

Another one based on a childhood favorite, Katie Cakes puts her spin on French toast by serving it slathered in peanut butter and jelly. Stack two pieces together to make yours in the style of a traditional sandwich, or serve it open-faced to make it more French toast-y. Whichever you choose, be sure to top it with some fresh berries and plenty of powdered sugar.

Bananas Foster French Toast

Balanced breakfast, shmalanced breakfast. This recipe by Handle the Heat is nothing short of a sugar rush on a plate, but wow, is it worth it? It’s made with challah, an enriched bread that contains honey and tends to have a somewhat sweet flavor as a result. Topped with brown sugar caramel-coated bananas, a few bites will have you feeling like a kid in a candy store. We give it a 10/10.

]]> Vegetables and desserts rarely go well together, though carrot cake is a notable exception to this rule. Carrots have a subtle sweetness that pairs well with other common dessert flavors like cinnamon, and their high water content is a great way to add moisture without sacrificing texture.

While we’ll always love a good old-fashioned carrot cake (especially if it’s covered in cream cheese frosting), sometimes we’re in the mood for something a bit healthier. Fortunately, some creators have found ways to incorporate the flavors of carrot cake into nutritious and delicious treats that are every bit as good as the real thing.

Carrot Cake Energy Balls

Traditional cake isn’t exactly known for its portability, so when we’re in need of a snack on the go, we love these carrot cake energy balls. They’re made with fresh, wholesome ingredients like shredded carrots and walnuts and sweetened with dates instead of traditional sugar. Leave them bare or roll in shredded coconut for flavor and additional healthy fat.

Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal

Start your day right with this carrot cake-oatmeal hybrid by Minimalist Baker. Along with grated carrots, it contains all of the classic add-ins like walnuts and raisins for a sweet breakfast treat that’s 100% vegan. We love to eat ours warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

Carrot Cake Smoothie

We’ll never say no to a smoothie, especially one that’s made to taste like dessert. This recipe by Foxes Love Lemons is a filling option with plenty of fiber from walnuts and two whole carrots. Vanilla Greek yogurt and a touch of honey round it out with some sweetness, while traditional carrot cake spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add a bit of warmth.

]]> Oatmeal will forever be one of our favorite meals to start the day with—it’s cheap, filling, and you don’t need to be a professional chef to know how to make it well. A little cinnamon and maple syrup are all you need to transform this staple from dull to delicious. That said, the old standbys can get a little boring after a while. We’re always looking for new ways to spice things up in the kitchen, and the simplicity of oatmeal makes for a perfect canvas. Here are some of the best new ways we’ve discovered.

Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal

Why drink your morning coffee when you can enjoy it in your oatmeal? You can think of this recipe by Oat Goodies as a mocha latte in a bowl—it’s sweet, creamy, and so satisfying that you may find yourself preparing it morning after morning.

Vanilla Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are a great option when you’re in search of a satisfying breakfast that doesn’t take much time. These vanilla oats by Purely Kaylie can be thrown together in about five minutes at night, leaving you with a breakfast that tastes like vanilla pudding by morning.

Milk and Cookie Baked Oats

Speaking of dessert for breakfast, is there anything that can’t be improved when prepared to taste like chocolate chip cookies? These baked oats by Plant Notion are so sweet and satisfying, you’d never guess they’re actually vegan and refined sugar-free.

]]> When it comes to French dishes, there are very few that we are not grateful for. Among our list is most certainly French toast. The delicately fried breakfast food—which some refer to as “eggy bread”—dates back all the way to the 1st century. 

Considering how long it’s been around, there are more than a few variations on the classic. Do you toast the bread before? Use only egg yolks?

The verdict is still out on those, but we have a trick that will make your French toast the most caramelized version of itself that it can be—jam. 

The concentrated preserve is made using fruit and sugar, both of which will upgrade your toast. Not only does the sugar give the dish a sweetness, it will also caramelize when cooked, giving the French toast a crispness and depth of flavor.

Flavor is also a key aspect of the jam’s fruit component. The best part is, you can use your jam or marmalade of choice. Try berry, orange, fig, stone fruit, or apple. You can’t really go wrong. 

Start with a classic French toast recipe and simply stir the jam into the custard before dipping in the bread. It’s best to give the jam a vigorous stir beforehand to smooth it out and whisk in 1-2 teaspoons of warm water if needed.

]]> Blueberry muffins are a popular breakfast option for many due to their convenience and deliciously sweet flavor. While we can’t deny that they are tasty, the truth is that this is because blueberry muffins are essentially cake in disguise. It’s okay to indulge in moderation, but the high sugar content can cause a sugar crash that leaves you feeling drained and sluggish. If you love blueberry muffins but are looking for breakfast ideas that help keep you full and energized, read on to discover some blueberry muffin-inspired recipes made with nutritious and filling ingredients.

Blueberry Muffin Breakfast Cookies

These cookies by Minimalist Baker have all of the fun fruity flavors of traditional blueberry muffins but are packed with protein and fiber to keep you full and focused all morning long. The recipe is vegan, but can also be made with eggs if you prefer to up the protein content.

Blueberry Muffin Smoothie

We love this smoothie by Nutrition Squeezed as a refreshing way to start the day or whenever we’re in need of an afternoon pick-me-up. It’s made with frozen blueberries along with seeds and oats to provide your body with the energy it needs, whatever the time of day. She recommends adding frozen zucchini or even cauliflower for extra fiber and nutrients.

Blueberry Muffin Protein Bars

Store-bought protein bars are fine in a pinch, but they’re often filled with lots of hidden sugar and don’t exactly tend to be budget-friendly. This recipe by Erin Lives Whole is based on the protein bar brand Perfect and includes instructions for over 10 different flavors. Our favorite is, of course, the blueberry muffin, which is made with dried blueberries and white chocolate along with protein powder and cashew butter.

Traditionally, French toast is made by dipping slices of bread into a mixture of egg and milk, then pan-frying them until golden and crispy. Vanilla and cinnamon are also often added for flavor, though some food bloggers have found ways to take French toast to the next level by putting their own spin on this classic dish. Read on for some of our favorite French toast upgrades.

S’mores French Toast

Breakfast reimagined, campfire style. This French toast recipe by Spicy Southern Kitchen takes us back to our childhood by coating the bread in graham cracker crumbs and stuffing it with layers of chocolate and marshmallow. The result is ooey, gooey, and seriously indulgent, only to be improved with a drizzle of hot fudge.

Peanut Butter & Jelly French Toast

Another one based on a childhood favorite, Katie Cakes puts her spin on French toast by serving it slathered in peanut butter and jelly. Stack two pieces together to make yours in the style of a traditional sandwich, or serve it open-faced to make it more French toast-y. Whichever you choose, be sure to top it with some fresh berries and plenty of powdered sugar.

Bananas Foster French Toast

Balanced breakfast, shmalanced breakfast. This recipe by Handle the Heat is nothing short of a sugar rush on a plate, but wow, is it worth it? It’s made with challah, an enriched bread that contains honey and tends to have a somewhat sweet flavor as a result. Topped with brown sugar caramel-coated bananas, a few bites will have you feeling like a kid in a candy store. We give it a 10/10.

]]> Vegetables and desserts rarely go well together, though carrot cake is a notable exception to this rule. Carrots have a subtle sweetness that pairs well with other common dessert flavors like cinnamon, and their high water content is a great way to add moisture without sacrificing texture.

While we’ll always love a good old-fashioned carrot cake (especially if it’s covered in cream cheese frosting), sometimes we’re in the mood for something a bit healthier. Fortunately, some creators have found ways to incorporate the flavors of carrot cake into nutritious and delicious treats that are every bit as good as the real thing.

Carrot Cake Energy Balls

Traditional cake isn’t exactly known for its portability, so when we’re in need of a snack on the go, we love these carrot cake energy balls. They’re made with fresh, wholesome ingredients like shredded carrots and walnuts and sweetened with dates instead of traditional sugar. Leave them bare or roll in shredded coconut for flavor and additional healthy fat.

Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal

Start your day right with this carrot cake-oatmeal hybrid by Minimalist Baker. Along with grated carrots, it contains all of the classic add-ins like walnuts and raisins for a sweet breakfast treat that’s 100% vegan. We love to eat ours warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

Carrot Cake Smoothie

We’ll never say no to a smoothie, especially one that’s made to taste like dessert. This recipe by Foxes Love Lemons is a filling option with plenty of fiber from walnuts and two whole carrots. Vanilla Greek yogurt and a touch of honey round it out with some sweetness, while traditional carrot cake spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add a bit of warmth.

]]> Oatmeal will forever be one of our favorite meals to start the day with—it’s cheap, filling, and you don’t need to be a professional chef to know how to make it well. A little cinnamon and maple syrup are all you need to transform this staple from dull to delicious. That said, the old standbys can get a little boring after a while. We’re always looking for new ways to spice things up in the kitchen, and the simplicity of oatmeal makes for a perfect canvas. Here are some of the best new ways we’ve discovered.

Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal

Why drink your morning coffee when you can enjoy it in your oatmeal? You can think of this recipe by Oat Goodies as a mocha latte in a bowl—it’s sweet, creamy, and so satisfying that you may find yourself preparing it morning after morning.

Vanilla Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are a great option when you’re in search of a satisfying breakfast that doesn’t take much time. These vanilla oats by Purely Kaylie can be thrown together in about five minutes at night, leaving you with a breakfast that tastes like vanilla pudding by morning.

Milk and Cookie Baked Oats

Speaking of dessert for breakfast, is there anything that can’t be improved when prepared to taste like chocolate chip cookies? These baked oats by Plant Notion are so sweet and satisfying, you’d never guess they’re actually vegan and refined sugar-free.

]]> When it comes to French dishes, there are very few that we are not grateful for. Among our list is most certainly French toast. The delicately fried breakfast food—which some refer to as “eggy bread”—dates back all the way to the 1st century. 

Considering how long it’s been around, there are more than a few variations on the classic. Do you toast the bread before? Use only egg yolks?

The verdict is still out on those, but we have a trick that will make your French toast the most caramelized version of itself that it can be—jam. 

The concentrated preserve is made using fruit and sugar, both of which will upgrade your toast. Not only does the sugar give the dish a sweetness, it will also caramelize when cooked, giving the French toast a crispness and depth of flavor.

Flavor is also a key aspect of the jam’s fruit component. The best part is, you can use your jam or marmalade of choice. Try berry, orange, fig, stone fruit, or apple. You can’t really go wrong. 

Start with a classic French toast recipe and simply stir the jam into the custard before dipping in the bread. It’s best to give the jam a vigorous stir beforehand to smooth it out and whisk in 1-2 teaspoons of warm water if needed.

]]> Blueberry muffins are a popular breakfast option for many due to their convenience and deliciously sweet flavor. While we can’t deny that they are tasty, the truth is that this is because blueberry muffins are essentially cake in disguise. It’s okay to indulge in moderation, but the high sugar content can cause a sugar crash that leaves you feeling drained and sluggish. If you love blueberry muffins but are looking for breakfast ideas that help keep you full and energized, read on to discover some blueberry muffin-inspired recipes made with nutritious and filling ingredients.

Blueberry Muffin Breakfast Cookies

These cookies by Minimalist Baker have all of the fun fruity flavors of traditional blueberry muffins but are packed with protein and fiber to keep you full and focused all morning long. The recipe is vegan, but can also be made with eggs if you prefer to up the protein content.

Blueberry Muffin Smoothie

We love this smoothie by Nutrition Squeezed as a refreshing way to start the day or whenever we’re in need of an afternoon pick-me-up. It’s made with frozen blueberries along with seeds and oats to provide your body with the energy it needs, whatever the time of day. She recommends adding frozen zucchini or even cauliflower for extra fiber and nutrients.

Blueberry Muffin Protein Bars

Store-bought protein bars are fine in a pinch, but they’re often filled with lots of hidden sugar and don’t exactly tend to be budget-friendly. This recipe by Erin Lives Whole is based on the protein bar brand Perfect and includes instructions for over 10 different flavors. Our favorite is, of course, the blueberry muffin, which is made with dried blueberries and white chocolate along with protein powder and cashew butter.
