This Orange-Peach Chia Smoothie is a bright, refreshing way to start your day. Sweet, juicy oranges and frozen peaches are blended with creamy Greek-style yogurt and sweetened naturally by Medjool dates, creating a perfectly balanced flavor. Chia seeds add a boost of protein, fiber and omega-3s, while a touch of vanilla rounds out the taste.

This blueberry-banana peanut butter parfait is a delicious layered breakfast that combines fruit, yogurt and nutty goodness. Sliced bananas and juicy blueberries are stacked between creamy yogurt and swirls of peanut butter for a sweet and satisfying meal. Chunky peanut butter adds a bit of crunch for extra texture, but smooth peanut butter blends in beautifully if you prefer a silkier bite.
Strawberry-Mango Chia Seed Smoothie

This strawberry-mango chia seed smoothie is a nutrient-packed drink rich in fiber, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds provide a plant-based source of protein and help keep you feeling full longer. You can use frozen strawberries and mango, but you’ll need to add extra almond milk to help it blend smoothly.
Chocolate-Cherry Protein Shake

This chocolate-cherry protein shake—made with Greek-style yogurt and peanut butter—is a protein powerhouse, perfect for a post-workout refuel or a satisfying snack. Cherries provide natural sweetness, and the chocolate flavor from the cocoa complements the peanut butter without any added sugar. Everything blends together in a shake that’s both nutritious and delicious!

This open-face sandwich is a delicious way to start your day. Turkey bacon provides savory flavor and crunch while keeping fat and calories in check. Country-style whole-wheat bread (or sourdough) often has no added sugars, making it the best choice here.

This banana–peanut butter yogurt parfait is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack that relies on the natural sweetness of ripe bananas to create a creamy, flavorful base. The combination of banana and peanut butter is a classic pairing that provides healthy fats and a boost of protein. This easy parfait is a great way to start your day or enjoy a midday pick-me-up.
Tomato Toast with Herbed Cream Cheese

This tomato toast is ideal for showcasing sweet, fresh heirloom tomatoes at their summer peak. Topped with a smooth, creamy cream cheese mixture infused with fresh herbs like chives and dill, this recipe highlights the best of seasonal flavors. While we love dill and chives, any soft herb can be used in their place.
Orange-Mango Smoothie
Ali Redmond
For Dylan Dreyer, “Today’s 3rd Hour” co-host and NBC News meteorologist, this smoothie is a staple in her household during cold and flu season. The vitamin C from the oranges helps support immune health, so she and her kids can feel their best. Plus, it tastes just like a creamsicle. If you don’t have almond milk, any other dairy or nondairy milk will work.
Ricotta Toast with Peaches & Prosciutto

This ricotta toast with peaches and prosciutto offers the perfect balance of creamy, sweet and savory flavors. Enjoy it for breakfast, brunch or a light snack. For even more flavor, drizzle the toasts with a bit of honey or balsamic glaze and garnish with a fresh herb like basil or mint.
Spinach & Feta Mug Scrambled Eggs
Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel
Whip up eggs with a few simple ingredients in a microwave-safe mug, and you have the makings of a breakfast that’s prepped, seasoned and will be ready to eat in a little more than a minute before running out the door. If you don’t want to store the mixture in individual mugs, you can store it in an airtight container then transfer to a mug when you’re ready to cook it.
Chopped Lox & Veggie Bagel
Photographer: Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop stylist: Gabriel Greco
Chopping the veggies and smoked salmon together with the cream cheese allows for an even distribution of ingredients, ensuring the perfect bite every time. We like the flavor and fiber that a whole-grain everything bagel adds, but any kind of bagel works well here. For a fun twist, use a flavored cream cheese.
Feta, Egg & Spinach Breakfast Taco
Photographer: Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop stylist: Gabriel Greco
It doesn’t get easier than this healthy breakfast taco that’s ready in just five minutes. Kale or arugula will work just as well if you don’t have spinach on hand. If you want an over-hard egg instead, and notice the egg is browning too quickly, add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan to help steam the egg and set the yolk faster.
Strawberry-Peach Chia Seed Smoothie
Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle
This fiber-rich chia smoothie is sweet and tangy with a velvety texture, thanks to nutritious chia seeds that expand as they combine with liquid. Chia seeds have plenty of healthy benefits, from delivering a boost of fiber to providing a dose of heart-healthy fats. We like the combination of strawberries, peaches and cherries, but any sweet and tangy fruit combo will work.
Shredded Wheat with Raisins & Walnuts
Photographer: Jake Sternquist, Food Stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop Stylist: Lexi Juhl
This shredded wheat with raisins and walnuts is an easy breakfast to reach for when you want something quick with plenty of fiber and healthy fats. For a no-added-sugar breakfast, be sure to use unsweetened shredded wheat cereal. Read the label and opt for brands that contain 0 grams of added sugar.
Berry–Green Tea Smoothie
Heami Lee, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall, Prop Stylist: Christine Keeley
This berry-green tea smoothie recipe is a refreshing, nutrient-packed beverage with plenty of anti-inflammatory benefits. It combines antioxidant-rich berries, green tea and omega-3-rich chia seeds with the natural sweetness of dates, blending into a delicious, healthy drink. It’s perfect for starting your day or as a post-workout recovery drink. Your favorite berry or a blend of berries will work well here.
Lemon-Berry Ricotta Toast
Creamy ricotta cheese keeps fresh, sweet berries in place in this quick and simple breakfast. Good, crusty whole-grain bread will make all the difference here. Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries or a mix of the three all work well.
