A list of healthy breakfast ideas is a good thing to keep on hand because we don’t always have time to think things through in the morning.

Breakfast Smoothies

Breakfast smoothies are always a fast, delicious and very portable idea for getting you out the door fast in the morning, particularly if you already have all your ingredients prepped. Healthy breakfast smoothies are some of the best breakfast recipes around because they can pack so much nutrition into one glass!

Consider purchasing frozen fruits for thick and creamy smoothies. And if smoothies don’t seem to keep you full, try blending in a couple of tablespoons of raw oats. It will thicken your smoothie and keep you super full until lunch!

Pancake Recipes

Homemade pancakes are total comfort food at the breakfast table. Pancakes are easy to make, can be pretty healthy if made with whole-food ingredients and will always bring the family to the table.

All of these pancakes recipes are made without pancake mix. Because believe it or not, pancakes were totally a thing before pancake mix ever hit store shelves, and they definitely predate the modern grocery store altogether.

The best pancake recipe will always be the recipe that is quick and easy to make and tastes delicious. And while some prefer the fluffy pancakes from a packaged mix, I’m here to tell you that pancakes are delicious even when they are totally flat. But the good news is that you can still make delicious, fluffy pancakes without a box mix. My sheet pan pancakes are a perfect example of this!

Coffee Drinks

Coffee drinks are here to stay. With coffee houses on every corner in every town across America, coffee drinks have become an ingrained part of our culture. Many people can’t start their morning before a trip to their local coffee house or coffee drive-thru.

There are so many types of coffee drinks, and each type of coffee drink has an entire menu of individual options, changes, and upgrades you can make to suit your tastes.

But homemade coffee drinks are always the best. In the great debate over coffee vs. energy drinks, coffee will typically win every time. That’s not because it wakes you up more but because coffee is such an integral part of our culture. And let’s face it: When it’s made right, coffee just tastes darn good!

And at the end of the day, homemade coffee drinks are way cheaper than constantly buying them at a coffee house. That’s not to say you shouldn’t support your local small coffee shops because you absolutely should. But at the end of the day, there is only so much room in the average person’s budget. So homemade coffee drinks are often the more delicious and economical choice.
