Heart Healthy Breakfast Recipes

It’s often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I completely agree – even if I don’t typically “break my fast” until around 11 each morning.

The first meal we introduce into our bodies each day is the foundation for the rest of the day ahead. Heavy foods tend to weigh us down and slow us down. If we feel like we need a nap after eating, it’s probably safe to say we aren’t giving our body the right fuel. Light, refreshing, and nutritious foods tend to give us energy and keep us moving. They also tend to be good for our
beautiful bodies!

Overnight oats are a heart-healthy breakfast option filled with fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. Of course, I personally love to start the day with a yummy and satisfying breakfast smoothie. They are fast and easy, plant-based (fruits, veggies, and/or nuts), nutrient dense, and wonderfully hydrating. And they don’t leave me feeling bloated.

Plus, there are so many fun and flavorful options that boredom isn’t even an issue. (They are also a great way to make sure your kids are focused and energized for school!) It’s so simple and speedy to combine, mix, garnish, and go that I wish I’d discovered this secret sooner. A good breakfast doesn’t have to be hard work.

I’m going to share some of my favorite breakfast recipes, but I also encourage you to mix and match and make your own brain-healthy, heart-healthy, body-healthy creations! Keep in mind that smoothies are an amazingly easy way to sneak some extra veggies into your day. Just throw in a handful of leafy greens, a bit of beet, or a stalk of celery and no one has to know!

Helpful Tip: You can freeze your fruit ahead in lieu of ice!
