My Easy, Go-To Breakfasts for Busy Mornings

 

One question I consistently see in my DMs is “Can you share more recipes?” or “What’s this recipe?” so I thought I’d start posting my favorites here!

One meal that often gets overlooked is breakfast, and as cheesy as it sounds, it really is the most important meal of the day. Having a nutrient-dense meal when you wake up will provide you with the energy you need throughout the day.

These two recipes are constantly in rotation at my house. I make these when I want something that’s quick and easy to put together or when I need something I can eat on the go.

Whether you’re looking for easy family breakfast ideas (Presley loves these too!) or healthy and quick breakfast recipes, these will be your new go-tos.

Avocado Toast With Sauerkraut

Stop — I know what you’re thinking. Sauerkraut?! Why in the world? I’ll tell you why. Sauerkraut is packed with beneficial probiotics that help protect against toxins and harmful bacteria. It has vitamins and minerals that help with skin health, bone health, heart health, and energy levels. It also helps improve digestion and it’s a great immune boosting food.

You’ll need: 

  • Sourdough slices, preferably a brand with only a handful of ingredients and whole grain flour

  • Non-dairy cream cheese (I like Miyokos creamery) or hummus for more protein

  • Avocado 

  • Everything but the Bagel seasoning 

  • Salt and pepper

  • Sauerkraut, try to find raw with cabbage and salt listed (not vinegar, sugar, etc.) 

Optional:

  • Nutritional yeast, which is packed with B vitamins and has a slightly cheesy flavor

  • Hot sauce

  • Egg, if that’s your thing

Instructions:

  1. Start by toasting the bread to your desired shade.

  2. Spread on some cream cheese and then top with avocado. If using hummus, add the hummus first and then the avocado.

  3. Use a fork to spread on the sauerkraut (so the juice stays in the jar) and then top with Everything but the Bagel seasoning, nutritional yeast, and salt and pepper. I love to add hot sauce to mine for extra flavor.

I promise this combo of flavors is so yummy and it’s an added bonus that it’s nutrient-packed! 

Vanilla Overnight Oats

This breakfast recipe is a family favorite! I love to prep this and keep it in the fridge for busy mornings. It’s so nice to know that I have something filling and satisfying waiting for me in the fridge. If you’ve never tried chia seeds before they are a great addition to this breakfast — and they’re great for hormone support. They’re also rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fats, minerals, fiber, and even plant-based protein.

Makes 3 servings

You’ll need:

  • 6 to 9 medjool pitted dates (9 if you like your oatmeal to taste sweeter) 

  • 3 cups non-dairy milk of your choice (you can pour more over oats after they sit if you like your oats mushier) 

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

  • Sea salt (just a pinch)

  • 3 tbsp chia seeds

  • 3 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats 

Optional:

  • Berries

  • Granola

  • Nuts

  • Cinnamon

  • Goji berries

Instructions:

  1. Add dates, non-dairy milk, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt to a blender. Blend until consistency is smooth.

  2. Take three jars or containers and put one cup of oats in each.

  3. Add 1 tbsp of chia seeds on top of the oats.

  4. Take the blended milk and pour it over the oats, dividing it between all three jars. Stir, stir, stir.

  5. Leave in the fridge for a few hours or ideally overnight.

  6. When you are ready to eat, you can add a little more milk if you wish and top with additional toppings. I usually just eat mine as is because it’s so yummy!
