Healthy Breakfast Recipes To Feel Good All Day Long
Here are some healthy breakfast recipes to suit you, whatever your mood or time constraints.
We all know how important it is to eat a healthy breakfast.
If you want to feel good, it’s vital to eat a breakfast that provides a slow and sustained release of sugar into the bloodstream. Too many carbs will get you off to a sluggish start and a breakfast high in refined sugar is not going to sustain you until lunchtime, so processed cereals generally fall far short of providing healthy breakfasts.
I understand that it is hard to beat the speed and convenience of opening a box and pouring your breakfast into a bowl but with a little forward planning and a good vegetarian breakfast recipe, you can still have that convenience everyday.
Take a look at some of the healthy breakfast recipes below. I've also included some weekend treats that are still homemade and wholesome.
Muesli And Granola
Personally I’m a believer in being prepared (yes, I was a girl guide though not a very good one) so I like to mix my own muesli and granola. Muesli is my number one choice for a healthy breakfast. It's also a great vegan breakfast. When my husband and I ran a stall at a farmers’ market, we sold our cereal mixes to a rapturous audience! Our muesli and granola were so popular, many local customers used to buy in bulk and mail bags to relatives. I have to say, it surprised me that people got so enthusiastic about cereal. Well ok, I get excited about these things. I just didn’t expect other people to. These days, we only mix cereals for ourselves but I’m happy to share these healthy breakfast recipes for free. I hope you get as much enjoyment from them as I do.
Porridge And Oatmeal
Porridge? Oats? Oatmeal? Whatever you call it – I call it porridge - it’s one of my absolute favourite easy breakfast recipes. What a bonus that it is so good for you too. High in fibre, B vitamins and iron, oats are also low in fat and are known to lower cholesterol. They are also cheap and easy to prepare making them a definite superfood in my book. My oatmeal recipes are also ones that my husband and I mixed for our customers at the farmers’ markets. Check them out. There's a delicious cranberry and brazil nut porridge. Or a mouth-watering date and hazelnut porridge. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t love it.
Weekend Breakfast
A full cooked breakfast is great for the occasional treat and there are plenty of options for vegetarians. The usual eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes can be made into something special if you add a homemade vegetarian sausage or two.
A Baked Breakfast
Simple Irish Soda Bread With Oats
An easy and versatile Irish soda bread recipe, perfect for breakfast. The oats lend a delicious flavour and texture and a lovely rustic appearance.
Wholewheat Cheese Scones
These are wonderful to eat while still warm from the oven with plenty of butter. A lovely breakfast or tea-time treat.
