Do you struggle with eating a healthy breakfast?

Hey Cleanish Squad!  

Did you have breakfast this morning? I’ve noticed a big increase in searches on A Sweet Pea Chef for healthy breakfasts this month, and it got me wondering if you’re looking for ideas, too.

I mean - it makes sense to me why breakfast is hard for many of us…it’s not like we have a ton of time in the morning before we have to be somewhere. And, if you have school-aged kids, getting them to school is a daily feat.

This is why I started adding in protein smoothies as a breakfast - they’re the perfect solution…

  • they take less than 5 minutes to make

  • they can be transported in a cup in the car (I use a tumbler like this)

  • you can pack in a bunch of nutrients (an easy way to get your protein and fiber)

  • high-protein breakfasts are where it’s at

Pro-Tip: Kids love smoothies, too!

Smoothie Recipes

My favorite is this Chocolate, Banana, and Peanut Butter Smoothie, which you can also swap with Vanilla Protein if you don’t care for chocolate.

Other great options are:

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats Recipes

If you’re not into cold breakfasts, you could prep overnight oats and reheat them for a quick, hot breakfast. I like to meal prep these for the whole week, which takes about 15 minutes.

Here are a few great ones from the blog:

Hopefully, something here sounds tasty, and like a great fit for what you’re looking for. If you’re searching for more breakfast recipes, I recommend checking out the Breakfasts Page on the blog for inspiration.

Or, if you prefer to hold a tangible cookbook in your hands, I literally wrote an entire cookbook on Clean-Eating Breakfasts and Lunches, which you can buy here.

The bottom line is there are many simple ways to have a quick, high-protein breakfast if you’re struggling. You might even wind up loving these recipes as much as us, which will lead to incorporating them into your daily routine for your whole family. 🙂 

And, if breakfast isn’t your thing and you wind up skipping most days without much issue, perhaps Intermittent Fasting would be a better fit for you. You can learn more about its benefits here. Spoiler: there are a ton! Then, once you break your fast, you can always add these tasty recipes in, too. 😉 

Have a fantastic week!
