The time of sunrise, when I make my first coffee of the day - it's my time. I love getting up early in the morning, to open the window of the summer breeze to hug me. Mornings smell of salt water and peonies now.
I love ... when at 5 am I go out with a camera to one of the beautiful places along the coast to capture the sunrise (see my favorite places to shoot here - 5 Favorite Landscape Photography Spots).
I love to go first in the gym and to do my workout for the day undisturbed by anyone.
These are my mornings. Such mornings energize me for the whole day.
I always spend some time on a tasty breakfast ... not just because I'm in the fit mode right now..... I just need this pleasure.
Here are 5 of my favorite and healthy breakfasts:
1.AVOCADO TOAST WITH FRIED EGGS
Ingredients:
1 avocado
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
2 slices multigrain or sourdough bread
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large eggs
A pinch of red pepper
Parsley for decoration
Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers
Directions:
Stir a well-ripened avocado with a fork, add freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Mix well and dip the toasted bread with this mixture.
Put very little butter in a non-stick coating and bake the eggs on a slow fire sprinkle with salt and red pepper.
Place the eggs on the avocado bread.
Put on top finely chopped parsley.
Serve with cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.
2.OAT FLAKES WITH YOGURT AND FRUITS
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons large-flake rolled oats
1 cup plain yogurt
½ cup cherries (blueberries, sliced strawberries and/or raspberries)
½ tablespoon of raisins
Dried coconut chips as desired
Directions:
Mix the oats with the yogurt.
Leave for 10-15 minutes in the fridge (or overnight).
Add the fruits and raisins.
Decorate with dried coconut chips as desired.
Enjoy a delicious breakfast!
3.OVERNIGHT CHIA PUDDING
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon chia seeds
½ tablespoon of large-flake rolled oats
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon of cocoa powder (I prefer bio raw cocoa)
½ tablespoon honey
½ cup grains of pomegranate (strawberries, raspberries or other optional fruits)
Raw almonds and dried coconut chips - optional
Directions:
Stir the milk with chia seeds, oats, cocoa and honey. Here you can add 15 grams of whey chocolate protein (optional).
Leave in the fridge at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Add the fruits, decorate with raw almonds and dried coconut chips.
Enjoy!
4.ALMOND MILK QUINOA WITH FRESH FRUITS
Ingredients:
½ cup of quinoa
¼ tablespoon cinnamon powder
1 ½ cup of almond milk (can be replaced with cow-milk)
½ cup of water
1 tablespoon of coconut sugar (can be replaced with brown sugar)
Pinch of vanilla powder
Pinch of salt
Banana, blueberries or other fruits.
Raw almonds and dried coconut chips as desired
Directions:
Heat a dry pan on moderate fire and add the quinoa.
Add cinnamon and stir frequently for 1 minute.
Add almond milk, water, vanilla, sugar and salt.
Let it boil, then lower the fire and cook on low heat until the grains soften - about 25 minutes.
Stir from time to time. If necessary, add some more water during cooking.
Do not let the liquid evaporate completely, it should become creamy.
Serve with fruits, raw nuts and coconut chips.

Yum! I love all of these and have eaten them all for breakfast at some point! Love taking chia pudding to work too ????
All of these sound delicious! But the avocado toast and fried egg made my mouth water! Thanks for sharing! I normally ski breakfast, which I know is unhealthy!
Everything looks so good yet easy and healthy! I suck at making breakfast!
What some absolutely delicious sounding breakfasts! I love the fact they are all so healthy as well, I must try them.
mmm, tasty recipes! I might have breakfast for dinner! I love chia pudding and oats and fruit, yum! I can't eat oats without adding cinnamon, raisins and honey!
These are all great ideas and they all look so delicious.
Delicious things and very nice pictures... i want to have the time to actually do one of these :)
This is one my favorite topics and my ultimate life challenge. I go through the healthy periods, when I pay attention to what I eat and then I start following my bad habits. Love all these breakfast ideas, I am familiar with most of them. Love the quinoa dish,even better than quinoa is millet, have you ever tried? it is way more nutritious and has wonderful benefits. Millet is the king of grains. My second favorite is avocado toast, I can eat avocados everyday. What do you recommed for midnight snacks?
Hi, Daria! I was acquainted with millet when I was feeding my baby girl. I adore it and I use it very often. Here, in Bulgaria, it is more preferred than quinoa. I will post my favorite recipe soon. Regarding midnight snacks - they should definitely be avoided.
I always look for healthy breakfast meal recipes to make delicious and variety dishes. These all look so delicious! I would try them all
I like my solitary mornings too. It's me time and peaceful. I thank God for another day as I watch the sun come up ;-)

We do banana pancakes at least once a week in our home --- Sundays are our family breakfast mornings.

These all look so very tasty. I love the oat flakes with yogurt and fruit. I think I eat some sort of rendition every morning.
All of these ideas sound delicious. The Toasts remind me of this local restaurant I went to once where toast was the order of the day there. It was delicious and healthy.
I love the AVOCADO TOAST WITH FRIED EGGS! I think it's the perfect energy giving food to start the day.
One of my favorite breakfast foods is avocado and fried eggs on rye toast. I could eat it every day!
