Perfect for busy mornings, these recipes can be made ahead of time for easy grab-and-go breakfasts like overnight oats and egg muffins or can be quickly whipped up in minutes like smoothies and fruit-topped toast. Healthy recipes like Fig & Ricotta Overnight Oats and Strawberry-Blueberry-Banana Smoothie follow the principles of the Mediterranean diet and feature ingredients like fruits, veggies, whole grains and healthy fats. 01 of 29 Fig & Ricotta Overnight Oats View Recipe With just a bit of work before bed, you can have a fast but decadent breakfast in the morning.

Here they're mixed with a fruity base and refrigerated until the chia seeds expand to form a thick, creamy texture similar to tapioca. Pudding for breakfast? We're in. 03 of 29 Blueberry-Banana Overnight Oats View Recipe Blueberries, sweet banana and creamy coconut milk combine to turn everyday oatmeal into into the best vegan overnight oats! Make up to 4 jars at once to keep in the fridge for quick grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. 04 of 29 Easy Loaded Baked Omelet Muffins View Recipe Protein-packed omelet muffins, or baked mini omelets, are a perfect breakfast for busy mornings.
