What qualities do you look for in a healthy breakfast? Do you have any go-to breakfast recommendations for a busy mom?
For me, a healthy breakfast includes a good blend of protein and healthy carbs to give me energy to start my day. Some of my favorite healthy breakfasts, that are also quick and easy to prepare, are:
- Greenberry Shakeology blended with frozen berries and almond milk
- Whole wheat waffles with fresh blueberries
- Oatmeal with strawberries and turkey bacon
- Greek yogurt with granola
- Spinach and tomato egg scramble and whole wheat English Muffin
Here is a great egg scramble recipe that I found on Food.com recently (this is for two servings):
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small roma tomato, chopped
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, divided
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, for garnish
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Whisk together eggs and egg whites and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Saute Roma tomato until slightly tender.
Add egg mixture and scramble until eggs are soft set.
-
Add baby spinach leaves, stir for 30 seconds, turn off heat and cover skillet for one minute.
-
Portion on two plates and top with feta cheese and chopped walnuts.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
What foods to you enjoy for a healthy breakfast?
One of my favourite breakfasts is really super quick and easy to prepare. Its a fruit smoothie. You can put in any combination of fruits you want. I prefer banana, strawberries, passion fruit pulp(minus seeds, the juice of one orange and a dash of plain yoghurt or vanilla ice cream if you are feeling naughty. Whiz it all up in a blender and enjoy.
i love breakfasts that have lots of protein in them. i workout in the morning so i need the protein to refuel but also to keep me full!
I enjoy having protein shakes, fruit variety, sliced apples with peanut butter, and thinks like that.
This breakfast looks much better than the one I had this morning
Yum, Yum!! I love smoothies for breakfast, it’s my go to!
Sounds like a simple and hearty Egg Scramble, thanks for the healthy eating tips!
I am a sucker for turkey bacon, egg, and whole wheat toast breakfast sandwich. It’s such a great way to start the day.
I love a healthy shake for breakfast. This sounds delicious and I will have to try it one morning. I love berries!
Eggs or ANY protein at breakfast is seriously the BEST WAY to start the day!

Oh my goodness. What great ideas! I love a healthy shake!
I love that egg scramble recipe!! It’s so filling!
love the list! breakfast meals are my favorite, i eat them 4-4 times a day haha. I eat a bowl of Cheerios with a banana and almond milk to start then make a fruit smoothie with pineapple, berries, banana and pure apple juice. Then i have a bowl of all natural oatmeal and then i normally make french toast with using ezekiel sprouted bread with agave syrup and frozen strawberries or a burrito with red potatoes, eggs whites and a sprouted tortilla
After my morning exercise I always drink something be it non-fat milk or water. Aside from that I always have scramble eggs and bacon for my bfast.
