Avocado and Poached Egg Toast

Avocado toast is in the house! If there were a pageant for the most popular healthy breakfast, avocado toast might take the crown.

The once-niche food trend has now become a mainstream American favorite for breakfast and brunch. With just a few ingredients needed, this easy, healthy breakfast recipe includes oh-so-simple tips for poaching the perfect egg that is pleasing to look at and eat.

Peanut Banana Cinnamon Smoothie

Smoothies are an easy way to start the day and this peanut banana breakfast smoothie is no different. Kids and adults alike will cheer for the magical flavor combination of peanut butter and bananas. Just a little bit of cinnamon adds an unexpected burst of spice that brightens the whole drink.

Overnight Chia Seed Oatmeal

Overnight oats are the perfect breakfast if you want a wholesome, homemade morning meal, but you don't want to add anything extra to your morning routine.

Rolled oats, milk, and a few other tasty ingredients are combined in a container and left to chill overnight in the refrigerator. The oats become soft and creamy by morning, just like slow-cooked oatmeal. Chia seeds, popular for their omega-3s and other health benefits, add a light nutty flavor. Pair that with a little maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla to add some sweetness and you are good to go!
