Greatist

Blueberry Muffin Smoothie

Skip the muffin (and the muffin top) and enjoy a blueberry muffin smoothie instead.

Domesticate Me

Vanilla Bean Ricotta Parfait

This looks more like a sinful dessert than a totally healthy breakfast parfait.

At the Picket Fence

Normally bacon, eggs, and hash browns are reserved for the weekends, but whip up some beforehand and you have a breakfast that you can grab and go, but will still satisfy.

Mason Jar Breakfast

Pineapple Coconut Yogurt and Flax Seed Parfait

Cooking Classy

Cinnamon Bun Smoothie

It tastes like a cinnamon bun, but it's healthy? Sometimes dreams really do come true.

Attainable Sustainable

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Homemade Oatmeal

Brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal is a breakfast staple, but this version means you avoid all the additives that come with the instant kind.

Food in Jars

Egg and Vegetable Quiche

Take this mini quiche on-the-go for a warm, satisfying breakfast no matter where you are.

A Million Miles

Messy Rasberry Parfait

This parfait has managed to cram in four different kinds of fruit, so you know this sweet treat is packed with fiber and nutrients. The combination of protein and fiber guarantees that your stomach won't start growling an hour later.

Cinnamon Date Shake

This mix, packed with fruit, nuts and oats, creates the perfect breakfast combo.

Mason Jar Breakfast

Blueberry French Toast

A recipe that has "French toast" in the name isn't going to be 100 percent healthy. But swap the regular ingredients for more nutritious options, like whole grain bread, unsweetened almond milk, and a lighter butter, and you have a delicious (and fairly nutritious) breakfast, my friend.
