Breakfast is definitely having a moment in the food world, and a scroll through Instagram, Pinterest, and restaurants’ menu offerings shows just how much people are loving the most important meal of the day.

While we’d love to start every day off with an elaborately decorated acai bowl, there just unfortunately isn’t usually enough time during the morning rush to spend any more than a few minutes making our meal.

If you’re like us and have limited time in the mornings but still want to enjoy a delicious and health breakfast, this is the post for you! Keep reading to discover eight of our favourite quick and easy breakfast recipes, so you can start your day off on the right foot.

Avocado Toast



Easily one of the most Instagrammed breakfasts of the last few years, avocado toast continues to be one of our faves because not only is it healthy and so delicious, but it takes just minutes to make! There’s also a lot of room for variety here, so you can keep it as simple as just slapping some avo onto your toast, or add some delicious toppings if time permits.

Avocado

Salt

Pepper

A few of our favourite toppings:

Hemp seed oil

It doesn’t get much easier than this. Just making your toast, mash on some avo, and add your salt, pepper, and optional toppings.

Smoothie Bowls

Smoothie bowls have become another super popular go-to breakfast, and these nutritional powerhouses can be made so many different ways, so you can make a new flavour every day of the week.

In our opinion, you just can’t go wrong with chocolate, and a big chocolate smoothie bowl is one of our favourite ways to start the day!

Overnight Oats

Oatmeal doesn’t take long to make, but you’ll make your mornings even simpler if you plan ahead and make a bowl of overnight oats the night before. Again, there’s lots of variety out there, but this one from Sweet Peas and Saffron is a great starting point!

Strawberry Chia Pudding

While chia pudding may look a little off putting, it’s actually a delicious and super healthy meal. We also love it because it’s another recipe that can be made ahead of time and enjoyed for a few days.

There are lots of delicious chia pudding recipes out there, but this is one of our all-time favourites from Boho Beautiful.
