We've got some news for you. Breakfast is not only for spoiled people. We know, we were shocked as well. The reality is, today anyone can make time for breakfast, you just need some simple healthy breakfast ideas that are ready in like 5 minutes. Well, that’s what we’ve got here today. We've rounded up 5 nutritious simple breakfast recipes that are fast to make. These can help you lose weight, maintain your weight, keep you from starving in the morning and help you avoid a sugar rush that early in the day.

Which foods are good for breakfast?

In the morning, you want to get a variety of foods that are rich in essential nutrients, antioxidants, fiber, protein, and healthy fats. You want your breakfast meals to be filling and satisfying. Great breakfast foods are oats, whole grain bread or muffins, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, eggs.

Benefits Of Eating A Wholesome Breakfast

Last year we were gaining some weight – long hours at the desk, overeating at night…all that fun stuff. We did some research and found out, you do need breakfast to maintain a healthy weight and to not feel hungry all the time, especially later in the day.

Turns out, people who skip breakfast actually have a higher BMI than people who eat a nutritious meal in the morning. (sadly, the 3 croissants and the latte we were having every morning didn’t count!)

Breakfast can help you maintain a healthy weight, keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day and, when you choose the right foods, to provide your body with the nourishment it needs to stay alert at work or school.

How it comes together

You can either wake up a little earlier to make breakfast or make it the night before. There are even some healthy breakfast options you can make ahead and take on the go. Some great examples are muffins or mini quiches.

We do like to prepare our breakfasts fresh, mostly because we're in the mood for something different quite often – one day we'd want oats, another day a savory breakfast with eggs. So we wake up a little earlier, drink water and then decide what we want. We also always make sure we have enough groceries for the week.

5 Simple Healthy Breakfast Ideas You Can Make In 5 Minutes

1. Overnight Oats

We are late for a lot of things, and making overnight oats is one of them. But better late than never. This is our favorite meal in the morning because you can take it on the go, it’s ready, filling, incredibly satisfying, healthy and simple to make. You can find the exact recipe here.

2. Avocado Toast

Right next to overnight oats is our other favorite thing – avocado toast. It’s a great savory healthy breakfast. You simply mash and spread the avocado on a slice of toasted bread and then top with whatever you enjoy – eggs, vegetables or even this chickpea scramble. You can find the exact recipe for our favorite avocado toast here(vegan) and here’s an egg avocado toast recipe (vegetarian).

3. Yogurt With Berries And Nuts

This simple recipe is beyond simple and it’s great if you’ve forgotten to prep anything. You’ll get it done in less than 3 minutes. All you’ve got to do is put the yogurt in a bowl, top with berries and nuts and perhaps some nut butter. It’s refreshing and tasty. Also good as a snack whenever you’ve got sugar cravings. If you need a recipe, you can find it here.

4. Breakfast Smoothie or Smoothie Bowl

Another simple breakfast idea is a breakfast smoothie. You can make a simple oatmeal and banana smoothie or an almond butter breakfast smoothie. Unlike most smoothies, both of these are filling and will keep you full longer.

If you don’t like banana you could also make a healthy strawberry smoothie bowls without the banana. Here is one recipe that uses cashews and another one with peanuts. Both satisfying, simple and fast.
