Healthy Breakfast oats

Overnight oats are an excellent way to enjoy a healthy, no-fuss breakfast. This dish is not only quick to prepare but also customizable with a variety of toppings. By soaking oats overnight in milk (or a non-dairy alternative), they become soft and easy to digest while providing energizing carbs! I love these overnight oat jars for meal prepping!

You can also change up how you prepare your oats. Make baked oatmeal or homemade granola, or prep a big batch of overnight oats for quick breakfasts throughout the week. Find these and more oat recipes below:

Breakfast recipes with Eggs

Eggs are one of my favorite go to breakfasts because they are packed with protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like choline! They are also so versatile, so you can switch up your methods of making them so you never get bored! Make egg bites for a portable breakfast option, for example, have fun with breakfast stuffed peppers, or enjoy a breakfast salad or egg bowl! On days when you have more time, start the day with a big breakfast casserole or shakshuka!

You can layer yogurt with your favorite fruits, nuts, and a sprinkle of granola for a satisfying meal!

Ingredients

  

Blueberry chia pudding

• 1 3/4 cups light or full-fat canned coconut milk *see notes
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/3 cup chia seeds
• 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 1 cup blueberries *fresh or frozen. Can use any berries!
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Lemon cashew cream

• 3/4 cup raw cashews
• 1/3 cup coconut yogurt or greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp fresh lemon zest
• 1-3 tbsp milk, of choice *only as needed

Instructions

 

• Add all of the chia pudding ingredients, besides the chai seeds, to a high-powered blender. Blend util smooth. Stir in the chia seeds. (You can also blend the chia seeds into the pudding, but I like to leave them whole).
• Taste the mixture. Adjust as you'd like, if needed (more sweetener, etc). Divide the pudding amongst 3 small jars.
• Rinse the blender. The add the lemon cream ingredients to it. Blend again until smooth. The cream should be thick, but if it's not blending well, add 1-3 tbsp milk of choice, as needed, until it blends smooth.
• Pour the lemon cream over top of the blueberry pudding. Place in the fridge for 2-4 hours before enjoying, or leave it overnight for a meal prep breakfast!

Notes

*You can use any dairy or dairy-free milk, although canned coconut milk (especially full-fat) will create the creamiest texture.
