EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Close Photo: Carson Downing Start your morning with an easy, high-fiber breakfast recipe. Each dish is packed with at least 6 grams of fiber, which has been associated with health benefits like promoting regular bowel movements and lowering your risk of heart disease. And as a bonus, these morning meals take just 15 minutes or less to make, to help make eating healthy easier. Recipes like Salsa-Topped Avocado Toast and Chocolate-Coconut Breakfast Banana Split are filling and healthy. 01 of 20 Anti-Inflammatory Strawberry–Passion Fruit Green Smoothie Photographer: Stacy k. Allen, Props: Christina Brockman, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling This anti-inflammatory smoothie draws its bright tropical flavor from frozen passion fruit pieces available in the frozen fruit section of well-stocked supermarkets or natural-foods stores. View Recipe 02 of 20 Salsa-Topped Avocado Toast Photography: Carson Downing, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop stylist: Gabe Greco Spin leftovers from taco night into this easy salsa-topped avocado toast for a quick snack or use it as a jumping-off point for breakfast by adding an egg on top. Single-serve packages of mashed avocado or guacamole can stand in for the fresh avocado. View Recipe 03 of 20 Chocolate-Coconut Breakfast Banana Split Carson Downing Eating dessert for breakfast has never been easier, thanks to this twist on a classic banana split. We swap in strained yogurt (e.g., Greek-style or skyr) for ice cream, but you'll still get the same ice-cream-scoop look because the yogurt's thicker consistency helps it hold its shape well. Plus, strained yogurt has more protein for staying power. Pineapple and coconut give this banana split tropical vibes. View Recipe 04 of 20 Coconut-Mango Oats Sara Haas Give plain oats a makeover with this quick, five-minute breakfast idea. Adding just a bit of toasted coconut, some vanilla extract and fresh (or frozen) mango provides plenty of flavor. We use oat milk here, but feel free to switch it to dairy or any other plant-based, unsweetened milk too. View Recipe 05 of 20 Spinach & Fried Egg Grain Bowls Photographer: Antonis Achilleos, Prop Stylist: Shell Royster, Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn Wheat berries, a nutty-tasting whole grain with a pleasantly chewy texture, are the base of this hearty breakfast bowl recipe. The fiber-rich grain freezes very well, so cook up a batch to stash away for salads, bowls and more. Topped with spinach, peanuts and an egg, these bowls make for a satisfying breakfast. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper for extra heat. View Recipe 06 of 20 Anti-Inflammatory Cherry, Beet & Kale Smoothie Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Julia Bayless Kale, cherries and beets team up in this powerful anti-inflammatory smoothie. All three of these fruits and veggies contain unique anti-inflammatory compounds that may help stave off diseases associated with chronic inflammation, including cancer, heart disease, arthritis and diabetes. View Recipe 07 of 20 Chickpea & Kale Toast Ted & Chelsea Cavanaugh This healthy toast recipe combines chickpeas, kale and feta for a savory bite. View Recipe 08 of 20 Anti-Inflammatory Lemon-Blueberry Smoothie Photographer: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Prop Stylist: Shell Royster, Food Stylist Jennifer Wendorf The kale, hemp seeds and green tea in this bright, lemony smoothie all contain antioxidants that can help fight inflammation. If you can’t find baby kale, baby spinach will work well in its place. Banana adds natural sweetness. If you want it a little sweeter, just a touch of honey will do the trick. View Recipe 09 of 20 Pimiento Cheese & Egg Sandwich Ted and Chelsea Cavanaugh Pair pimiento cheese with spinach, eggs and hot sauce for a satisfying breakfast sandwich that's ready in just 10 minutes. View Recipe 10 of 20 Cauliflower Oatmeal Joy Howard We'll admit, a breakfast cereal made from a cruciferous vegetable sounds a little far-fetched—but our testers were pleasantly surprised by this warm and cozy recipe! Flavored with cinnamon, vanilla and just a touch of sweetness, it's a nutritious alternative to a grain-based bowl that adds a serving of vegetables to your morning meal. View Recipe 11 of 20 Anti-Inflammatory Raspberry & Spinach Smoothie Photographer: Jen Causey Start your day off right with this tasty smoothie featuring anti-inflammatory ingredients. Spinach provides antioxidants that help eliminate damaging free radicals, while raspberries contain polyphenols that have their own anti-inflammatory effects.

We love how this meal gives you 3 whole cups of vegetables to start your day. View Recipe 13 of 20 Egg-Avocado Breakfast Sandwich Evan de Normandie This fresh-tasting bagel breakfast sandwich comes together in minutes with just a few ingredients. Creamy avocado pairs with crunchy onions and sprouts for a filling, healthy breakfast with layers of flavor. View Recipe 14 of 20 Kiwi-Granola Breakfast Banana Split Carson Downing We take a classic dessert and put a breakfast-friendly spin on it by swapping in yogurt for ice cream. The thicker consistency of the strained yogurt (e.g., Greek-style or skyr) helps it hold its shape and mimic scoops of ice cream. Plus, it has more protein for staying power than regular yogurt. Lots of seeds and nuts are a nice textural counterpoint to the soft banana. View Recipe 15 of 20 Savory Oatmeal with Tomato & Sausage Oats get a new life in this savory dish, serving as the backbone for a satisfying combo of sausage, greens, tomatoes and herbs. View Recipe 16 of 20 Pecan Butter & Pear Toast Ted & Chelsea Cavanaugh For a quick breakfast or snack, try this three-ingredient toast. Pecan butter adds a nutty flavor, which gets balanced by the natural sweetness of the pear. View Recipe 17 of 20 Raspberry Yogurt Cereal Bowl For breakfast, snack or a healthy dessert, try using yogurt instead of milk for your cereal. If making this as a to-go snack, keep the cereal separate and top just before eating. View Recipe 18 of 20 Breakfast Beans with Microwave-Poached Egg In Costa Rica, this popular breakfast bean dish is called gallo pinto, which means spotted rooster, referring to the dark beans amid the pale rice. We call for cooked barley here, but you can use whatever leftover cooked grain you may have on hand. View Recipe 19 of 20 Strawberry-Ricotta Waffle Sandwich Here's a sweet spin on a healthy breakfast sandwich. Other seasonal fruits, such as blueberries or sliced peaches, would be tasty toppers too. View Recipe 20 of 20 Quinoa & Chia Oatmeal Mix Make your own hot cereal mix with this healthy recipe. Keep it on hand and just cook up the amount you need when you're ready for a hot breakfast. One serving of the warm cereal contains six grams of fiber—almost a quarter of your daily quota. View Recipe Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
