Pre-lockdown, our morning routines were rushed and chaotic with breakfast being a quick slice of buttered toast or a bowl of cereal – if we even managed to eat before leaving home! One of the upsides to isolation is that we’re getting a little extra time in our days where we don’t have to commute to the office, so we can take the time to make a delicious, nutritious breakfast in the mornings and start our days off the right way. Here are just some of our fave healthy breakfast ideas:

Fresh Pancakes
Everyone loves a pancake! Whip up a batch of fresh ones and top them with yummy fresh fruits and a dollop of delicious Greek yoghurt. If you want to indulge a little, swap the toppings for a dose of chocolate spread.

Avocado Toast
An Instagram fave and totally delish – smash up some avocado and spread it on a toasted bread of your choice. Sourdough is a great choice or try a yummy bagel instead. Top it with a sprinkling of chilli flakes and some sliced cherry tomatoes.

Smoothie Bowls
Easy to make and customise to your personal tastes, switch your smoothie drink out for an Insta-worthy smoothie bowl instead. Top with any fruits you like, and sprinkles of nuts or seeds for a dash of protein.

Eggs Benedict
A luxurious breakfast that takes a bit of effort to make but is SO delicious. Poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, a slice of Parma ham and a fresh toasted muffin. Feeling extra fancy? Turn it into Eggs Royale with smoked salmon instead of ham. Veggie? Swap the meat for avocado.
