Just stop for a second and think about this: you, sitting on the porch, with a cool, refreshing drink and the warm summer sun on your face. What are you eating? It’s not a heavy bowl of oatmeal, that’s for sure.
It’s something light, tangy, and bursting with juicy summer fruit. Yes yes yes yes yesss. That’s the kinda breakfast we’re talking about today.
1. Easy Strawberry Crepes Recipe
I mean, let’s be honest. A huge stack of fluffy pancakes can sometimes feel like a bit much in the summer heat. That’s where these amazing crepes come in to save the day!
They are like pancakes’ thinner, more delicate cousin—just as delicious but definitely not as heavy. You can fill them with anything you can dream up, from a classic strawberries and cream situation to banana and Nutella. It’s a total win.
2. Chocolate-Hazelnut & Raspberry Toast
I’m not going to lie, this one feels more like a dessert than a breakfast, and I am HERE for it. But I promise, it is the perfect sweet treat to start your morning.
I really love using brioche for this, but honestly, whatever you’ve got on hand will be great. Then it’s just a matter of piling some plump, vibrant raspberries over that Nutella toast. It is so, so good.
3. Healthy Summer Breakfast Hash Recipe
This recipe is such a fantastic make-ahead breakfast that’s warm, super filling, and looks absolutely beautiful on a plate. My favorite little trick is to cook up a big batch of potatoes and just keep them in the fridge.
That way, you can grab a portion and fry it up with some onion, zucchini, peppers, chickpeas, and corn for a bright and yummy breakfast. And if you ask me, this is even better with a side of bacon and a perfect poached egg right on top!
4. Superwoman Nut & Seed Granola
You definitely read that name right, and I am telling you: one bite of this stuff and you’ll feel like a superhero! We’re talking cashews, pecans, walnuts, almonds, coconut, hemp seeds, AND pumpkin seeds.
This recipe is just loaded with minerals and all sorts of nutrients. The texture is so incredibly good that you’ll find yourself wanting to make a giant batch. It’s that amazing.
5. Raspberry Cheesecake Bagels
When I’m trying to be super healthy, I’ll go for whole wheat bagels. But can we all agree that they aren’t always the most exciting breakfast? That’s where this recipe comes in and changes EVERYTHING.
It’s got sweet, fresh raspberries, a generous smear of velvety mascarpone, and some chocolate shavings to top it all off. You’ll want to eat this every single day, and you can totally swap out the fruit!
I’m already dreaming about trying it with banana, mango, or even kiwi!
6. Greek Yogurt with Berries, Nuts and Honey
I’m constantly making this in a little container to take with me on those super busy mornings. What’s so great is that you can get it ready ahead of time and pile on whatever toppings you’re in the mood for.
The berry, honey, and nut mix is pretty much perfection. Or why not get creative and try it with some dried fruits and coconut? So good.
7. The Best Scrambled Egg Toast
Scrambled eggs are always a huge hit in my house, and when you pair them with some toasted whole-grain bread, it becomes such a healthy and filling breakfast (or even an afternoon snack!).
These eggs are extra creamy, all thanks to adding feta, which also gives them that perfect salty kick. It’s just a classic for a reason.
8. Acai Bowl
Acai bowls are the absolute perfect summer breakfast food and such a great way to beat the heat! Plus, it’s just packed with fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats, which makes it an amazing way to kick off your day.
The best part about making acai bowls at home? You can add whatever toppings you want. Banana slices, granola, mango, and blueberries are a few of my go-tos.
But really, you can customize this bowl however you like. You’ve got the perfect combo right here: healthy, fun, and so colorful!
9. Chocolate Walnut Muffins
So, these might not be the absolute healthiest breakfast choice, but wow, are they a sweet way to start the day.
If you want to make them just a little bit healthier, you can try swapping the eggs for mashed bananas. The flavor is a total dream, and it makes them unbelievably moist. So, so good.
10. Rainbow Bagel Fruit Pizzas with Strawberry Cream Cheese Spread
I can’t even begin to tell you what a smash hit these were at my last coffee morning. After everyone took about a million pictures, they were gone in minutes.
I used a mix of blueberry, cinnamon raisin, and plain bagels to give them even more flavor, but that strawberry cream cheese is more than enough to make them amazing.
Next time, I think I’m going to try making a mango cream cheese spread instead!
11. Fruit and Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl
Okay, you got me. I had to put just one oatmeal recipe on the list. I mean, oatmeal is always such a solid, healthy choice to start your day. And this recipe is extra packed with nutrition!
You can make this with all your favorite berries or give it a tropical vibe with mango, banana, and a sprinkle of coconut. It’s so versatile!
12. Greek Yogurt Oatmeal
If you’re usually not an oatmeal person, this recipe just might change your mind. The Greek yogurt makes your oats so dreamy and creamy and adds this really lovely tangy flavor to the whole dish.
And if you grab a pot that already has fruit in it, you get all that extra goodness with zero extra effort. It’s a game-changer.
13. Avocado Toast
You knew this one was coming, right? How could I possibly leave out a recipe for avocado toast?
It’s amazing with just a little sprinkle of sea salt, but you can so easily take it to the next level with an egg, some fried tomatoes, or even by rubbing a little garlic right onto the toast. So simple and so good.
14. Protein Cookies
Breakfast cookies are officially a thing, and I am living for it! Any excuse to have a little indulgence in the morning is a win in my book.
They’re so chewy and moist, totally loaded with protein, and taste just like a thick muffin top. With banana, chia seeds, peanut butter, and dried fruits, every single bite is better than the last.
15. Triple Berry Crisp Smoothie Parfait
I’ve heard some people say they don’t really like smoothie bowls because of the texture. Well, this smoothie parfait could be the perfect solution.
You get that amazing, creamy fruit smoothie along with a super crunchy layer of granola. It’s the best of both worlds, really.
16. Strawberry Cream Cheese Toast
Thick toast, lots of cream cheese, and a ton of syrupy strawberries all come together in this recipe to make one seriously incredible summer breakfast.
The real trick here is to let the strawberries macerate, which just means letting them sit in sugar. This helps release their natural juices and makes the whole thing wonderfully messy and delicious.
17. Mixed Berry Smoothie Recipe
Smoothies are just the ultimate summer breakfast. They’re not only so pretty and easy to change up, but they are also perfect when you have tons of fresh fruit lying around.
I always go a little crazy when the farmers markets start bringing in all their amazing fruit. I can’t stop myself and usually end up prepping and freezing a bunch for the winter.
The key to making those fruit flavors really pop in a smoothie is to add some kind of sweetener. If you’ve ever made one at home and felt like something was missing, it was probably just a little bit of sugar.
18. Breakfast Egg Cups
If you’re anything like me, you don’t always have time to sit down for breakfast. For a healthy option on the go, you have to give these egg cups a try.
They’re so sunny and bright with the diced peppers and spinach, and you can make them as cheesy as you want. If you’re looking for something a little lighter, they also work great with just egg whites.
19. Greek Fresh Tomato and Feta Egg Scramble (Kagiana or Strapatsada)
I have to say, this one was a surprise for me at first! But once you get your head around the color, you’ll realize these eggs are something really special.
Just keep in mind that you probably won’t need to add much salt, if any, to the eggs since you’re using feta. It’s so full of flavor!
20. Best Ever Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins
The problem with a lot of muffin recipes is that they can get dry so fast. They’re basically big cupcakes, and that extra time in the oven can be tough on them.
But adding Greek yogurt works just like adding sour cream. It brings so much great flavor and a ton of moisture! It’s my favorite little secret.
21. Peaches & Cream Smoothie Bowls
Just from the name, you might be thinking this is a typo. Peaches and cream for a breakfast smoothie? And how is it not a million calories? Well, it’s actually kind of genius.
This recipe uses frozen bananas to get that sweet and silky smooth thickness, plus coconut milk for that dreamy, creamy taste. It’s so clever and so delicious.
22. Creamy Yogurt Fruit Salad
If you’re going to have a fruit salad for breakfast, why not add in some extra protein to make it more filling?
Plain Greek yogurt is going to be the healthiest way to go, but honestly, you could easily use whatever kind you happen to have in your fridge. It’s a great way to use what you’ve got!
23. Easy Raspberry Oatmeal Bars
These oatmeal bars are such a fantastic way to trick people into thinking they’re eating something super indulgent. They taste just like thick oatmeal cookies with a heavenly sweet and tart fruit layer, but they’re actually packed with goodness!
You can even swap the butter for coconut oil if you want to make them extra healthy. It’s a win-win.
24. Peach Lassi
This is a fun little twist on the classic, using peaches instead of mango to create a creamy, low-fat morning drink.
And like I’ve said before, if you like your smoothies really thick but don’t want to water them down with ice, just use a frozen banana instead. It’s the best trick!
25. Raspberry Coconut Breakfast Balls
These are such a fabulous choice for breakfast when you’re on the run. They’re light, bright, and they travel so well.
You only need about six ingredients that you just blitz together until everything is smooth. Then you just roll them up, coat them in coconut, and they’re ready to go. So easy!
26. Strawberry Almond Milk Protein Shake
Protein shakes are a great way to get a boost of nutrients, and they’re so easy to make. But sometimes they can be a little sad and thin, which means they aren’t very filling.
Adding protein to a fruit smoothie, though, will give you that same boost and make your smoothie nice and thick, so it keeps you full for way longer. It’s the perfect combo.
27. Blueberry Peach Oatmeal
This recipe uses almond butter to add a really wonderful nutty flavor to your oats, though you could definitely use peanut butter if that’s what you have.
Just make sure you add your fruit while it’s cooking so it has time to soften up and release all its juices into the mix. That’s what makes it so yummy.
