Breakfast for kids
I know how picky kids can be about food. I was the same way as a child. Something I love to do with kids is have them help out in the kitchen. Sometimes, when you have the time to let kids help in the kitchen, they enjoy food even more. Also, I believe exposing them to various ingredients and recipes will help you figure out what your kids like and don’t like. I know we all get into a routine of eating the same food over and over. Sometimes, try to mix it up!
- Healthy breakfast cookies
- Strawberry pop tarts
- Pumpkin sheet pancakes
- French toast with berry compote
- Quesadillas with mushroom bacon
- Raspberry overnight oats
Healthy Overnight Oats
Meal prepping overnight oats for breakfast is a great way to get your protein, fiber, and antioxidants first thing in the morning. As you check out the collection of vegan overnight oats below, feel free to customize them to your liking. I love adding steel-cut oats, almond milk, quaker oats, vegan yogurt, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and seasonal fruit. Comment your favorite overnight oat recipes below!

Cheap Breakfast Ideas
Eating healthy can be a challenge when you’re on a budget. When I was in college, I didn’t have as much money to buy groceries especially not organic produce. Today, there are so many options. Like frozen produce that you can save for many months at a time. Tip: frozen produce is picked at peak ripeness. One of my favorite budget-friendly vegan breakfast recipes is my 3-ingredient oatmeal pancakes. You could skip the cinnamon and just make it with 2-ingredients.
- Peanut butter & banana sushi
- Chocolate “nice” cream
- Hash browns
- Breakfast noodle bowl
- Cucumber mango salad
- Moroccan spiced sweet potatoes

Meal Prep Breakfast Ideas
I don’t know about you but I love watching meal prep videos. I get so much inspiration. Honestly, sometimes, I don’t do much with inspiration. I’ve learned it’s best to start slow with meal prepping so it doesn’t become too overwhelming. So try meal-prepping one recipe instead of five. Or try meal prepping a few ingredients for breakfast or dinner vs meal prepping breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Watch this video for more tips on meal prepping.

- Blueberry fig skillet cake
- Zucchini orange coconut yogurt scones
- Overnight steel-cut oats
- Apple cinnamon overnight oats
