3 Easy & Yummy Breakfast Recipes You Must Save Now

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.

Even when I travel, I look forward to trying out new places for a yummy breakfast – that’s my kind of adventure. I also love weekends because I get to try new local brunch spots.

During the week though, when things are a little hectic, I make sure I keep my breakfasts yummy (and healthy) so I am excited and fueled for the rest of the day.

I mix things up based on what I have in the kitchen that day/week so that is why I’m sharing with you 3 of my favorite recipes.

They’re each different (I need my variety!), very easy to make, and most importantly, super delicious; the perfect morning indulgence for you and your family before you start the day.

Even if you’re not a breakfast person, I think you will like this!

1. Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Avocado

My family and I love eggs and smoked salmon so this is our new favorite breakfast – yummy and adds a great energy punch to start your mornings.

What you’ll need:

Olive oil cooking spray
1 tbsp lime juice
1 medium ripe avocado, diced
1 tsp chives, finely chopped
100g smoked salmon, trimmed, chopped
4 free-range eggs
2 tbsp cream
60g butter

What you’ll need to do:

1. Combine lime juice, avocado, chives and salmon in a bowl. Season with pepper to taste. Toss to combine.

2. Whisk eggs, cream and a good pinch of salt in a bowl until combined.

3. Heat butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and swirl.

4. Cook for 1 minute or until it begins to set. Using a wooden spoon, gently fold every 10 seconds for 1 to 2 minutes until almost set. (Eggs will continue cooking so ensure they are not fully set.)

5. Remove pan from heat. If cooking in two batches, clean pan and repeat.

My husband is celiac so we don’t use bread but you can have toast with this and serve all together.

2. Oats and Yogurt Heaven

When I’m having breakfast alone this is my favorite. I have a thing for yogurt and starting my morning with it makes me very happy.

Here’s one of my own breakfast “creations”.

What you’ll need:

Yogurt (I love greek yogurt but feel free to chose your own favorite)
4 tbsp oats
4 tbsp chopped nuts (I add walnuts, cashew nuts, almonds or anything I have at hand)
2 tbsp grated coconut
2 tbsp prunes (Prunes or dried plums are considered one of the healthiest foods. They are antioxidant and a great source of fiber)
2 tbsp of fresh fruit (Blueberries, strawberries, peaches, bananas or whatever you have at hand).

What you’ll need to do:

Mix all together and layer with fruit and berries in a jar. You can eat straight away, or store for later for a grab-and-go breakfast. Make one, two, or 10 at a time – this can be refrigerated for several days.

3. Coconut Blueberry Chia Pudding

Raw and healthy – I love this for breakfast but this can easily be a dessert or an afternoon sweet treat.

Feel free to get creative with this recipe and switch some of the ingredients up by adding a variety of your favorite fruits or even spices.

What you’ll need:

1 cup chia seeds (white or black)
1 cup full fat coconut milk (add more water if you need extra liquid)
2 tsp vanilla bean or extract
1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
3 tbsp shredded coconut
Pinch of salt to taste
Handful of blueberries or other fresh fruit

What you’ll need to do:

1. Use a large glass jar to store this mix or separate the mixture into smaller “to-go” jars that people can grab and go with.

2. You’ll want to start by combining your ingredients in a large bowl.

3. Let this sit for at least 5-10 minutes until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and start to thicken. Add more liquid if the mixture seems dry and difficult to stir with a spoon.

4. When you’re at the desired texture, you can store for up to 4 days in the fridge without fruit, and up to 3 days if you’ve added fruit. You can add a different fresh fruit topping each morning or go without.

I love to add blueberries and strawberries – the flavor is divine!
