]]> If you’re getting bored of simple avocado toast or eggs on bread, it may be time to switch it up a little. Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a short list of great ways to add spice and variety to your toasts, to get your creative juices flowing and your mouth watering.

Fruit

Sweeten the deal by adding delicious fruits on top of your toast such as sliced bananas on top of almond butter toast, or fresh fig slices on top of buttered toast or ricotta toast. You can also add apples and peanut butter to your toast for more variety.

Fresh Vegetables

Add farm-fresh vegetables for extra flavor. Buy some extra sweet grape tomatoes on the vine, and spread them on top of smashed avocados, and add a drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil, pink salt, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. You can also cut up some fresh cucumbers and put them on top of tuna or egg salad for a more hearty toast.

Spreads

Add more unique spreads such as flavored hummuses with watermelon radishes, cucumbers, and spiraled carrots. You can also opt for cream cheese, butter, jam, or peanut butter. The possibilities for toast varieties are endless, and there are so many different types of unique spreads that will add character, charm, and excitement to an otherwise ordinary day.

]]> Breakfast should be the most important meal of the day, but so many of us skip it and end up eating more sugary foods later in the day. Eating protein in the morning will not only keep you full and satiated, but it will help you to make better food choices for the rest of the day. Having a high-protein breakfast will set you up to achieve greatness, here are some ideas of what to eat.

Breakfast Quesadilla

Get creative with your breakfast quesadilla by adding anything you want to a whole wheat tortilla. You can try eggs, black beans, veggies, and some cheese fold and place it in a pan to heat until the cheese is melted, and enjoy. You will get the protein from the eggs and black beans.

Overnight Oats

This is a really easy dish to eat on the go, and you can make it the night before and it will be ready to eat by the morning. All you need are some oats, chia and flax seeds, high protein yogurt, and milk of choice. Mix all the ingredients and put them in a sealed container, you can top it with fruit and nuts and place it in the fridge.

Shakshuka

This Middle Eastern dish is so easy to make and has tons of protein. Chop up an onion, tomato, and red bell pepper and lightly saute, add some tomato sauce, and then place two eggs inside the sauce mixture to cook. Once the yolk is how you like it, grab some bread to dip and devour it.

]]> 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.

]]> Oats are a wonder food. They are delicious and healthy and seem to fit in so many contexts. They are the perfect start to your day, and here are a few reasons why. 

They’re Light

If you’re someone who struggles with the concept of breakfast, you should definitely try oats. They are one of the lightest carbs out there, and give you long-lasting energy without causing significant bloating. 

They’re Easy

You can prepare oats in so many ways. Soaking them in milk or water overnight requires minimal effort, but you can also cook them or bake them to make things more interesting. However you like them, you will be able to prepare them quickly and easily. 

They’re Versatile

You can of course do the classic sweet porridge, but savory oats are also a super tasty start to the day. Instead of your usual toppings, use seeds, avocado, spinach, and egg for an exciting twist to breakfast porridge. 

They’re Environmentally Friendly

So many foods these days are assigned a label of ‘unsustainable’. If you care about your carbon footprint, then oats are great, as they’re hardy and fast-growing, so can thrive in many climates. Therefore there’s no guilt when tucking into your favorite oat-based meal.

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.

]]> Protein is the most important macronutrient to include in your diet, and it also seems to be the one that most people have trouble remembering to eat. Protein helps build muscle, repair, and grow new tissue, and a high-protein breakfast will set the tone for the day and help to keep you full. It also helps with blood sugar control as the body takes longer to digest and absorb it, which means it enters your bloodstream at a slower rate, providing you with steady energy all day.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup almond milk

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, and protein powder.
  3. Add the milk, eggs, and maple syrup and still until combined.
  4. Divide the oat mixture evenly among the cups of the muffin tin.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops of the muffins are golden brown.

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.

]]> Oats are a wonder food. They are delicious and healthy and seem to fit in so many contexts. They are the perfect start to your day, and here are a few reasons why. 

They’re Light

If you’re someone who struggles with the concept of breakfast, you should definitely try oats. They are one of the lightest carbs out there, and give you long-lasting energy without causing significant bloating. 

They’re Easy

You can prepare oats in so many ways. Soaking them in milk or water overnight requires minimal effort, but you can also cook them or bake them to make things more interesting. However you like them, you will be able to prepare them quickly and easily. 

They’re Versatile

You can of course do the classic sweet porridge, but savory oats are also a super tasty start to the day. Instead of your usual toppings, use seeds, avocado, spinach, and egg for an exciting twist to breakfast porridge. 

They’re Environmentally Friendly

So many foods these days are assigned a label of ‘unsustainable’. If you care about your carbon footprint, then oats are great, as they’re hardy and fast-growing, so can thrive in many climates. Therefore there’s no guilt when tucking into your favorite oat-based meal.

]]> Protein is the most important macronutrient to include in your diet, and it also seems to be the one that most people have trouble remembering to eat. Protein helps build muscle, repair, and grow new tissue, and a high-protein breakfast will set the tone for the day and help to keep you full. It also helps with blood sugar control as the body takes longer to digest and absorb it, which means it enters your bloodstream at a slower rate, providing you with steady energy all day.

Try these high-protein breakfast muffins to start your day off right.

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 eggs

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • Cooking Spray

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, and protein powder.
  3. Add the milk, eggs, and maple syrup and still until combined.
  4. Divide the oat mixture evenly among the cups of the muffin tin.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops of the muffins are golden brown.
  6. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, and enjoy!

Drinking coffee and starting your day on an empty stomach can peak your cortisol (stress hormone) levels. We’ve got you covered with these easy and quick breakfast ideas that will fuel your day without sacrificing taste or nutrition.

Overnight Oats

Prep your breakfast the night before by combining rolled oats, milk (or yogurt), and your favorite toppings like fruits, nuts, or honey in a jar. Let it sit in the fridge overnight, and in the morning, you’ll have a delicious and nutritious bowl of ready-to-eat oatmeal. If you want to fancy it up, check out this recipe.

Smoothie Bowls

Blend together frozen fruits, a splash of liquid (milk or juice), and a handful of greens if you’d like. Pour the smoothie into a bowl and top it with granola, sliced fruits, coconut flakes, or chia seeds for added texture and flavor. It’s a refreshing and satisfying breakfast that you can customize to your liking.

Avocado Toast

Toast a slice of whole-grain bread and top it with mashed avocado. Sprinkle some salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. You can also add toppings like sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, or a poached egg for extra protein and flavor.

Yogurt Parfait

Layer Greek yogurt with your favorite fruits, granola, and a drizzle of honey in a glass or jar. It’s a quick and refreshing breakfast that provides a good balance of protein, fiber, and vitamins.
