Wake Up Right: 20 Simple, Healthy Breakfast Recipes  for Every  Morning 

 From grab-and-go bite-sized banana pancakes  to chewy, bready baked oatmeal, these recipes are worth getting out of bed for. 

Breakfast is a memory of eating  cereal in your pajamas while watching Saturday morning cartoons. It's waking up in the morning, smelling the aroma of bacon in the air, and knowing it's going to be with my dad's scrambled eggs. For breakfast, I learned how to make pancakes from my grandfather, who always made  mini pancakes first to test  the heat  of the pan. (We got to eat the mini pancakes, too, so it was a win-win.)  

Breakfast is often touted as the most important meal of the day, and for us at Eating Well, that statement rings true. We know that a balanced meal provides essential nutrients that help us to be more energized in the morning and stay energized throughout the day. Not only is it a time to make memories with loved ones, but it's also a way to enjoy  our favorite foods. 

Today, I eat breakfast because I know it nourishes both my mind and my body. Whether it's the fiber from overnight soaked oats, the protein from a crustless quiche, or the antioxidants from a fruit and vegetable smoothie, these nutrients  keep you fuller longer,  supporting digestion and reducing inflammation in the body. . Eating breakfast also supports  overall metabolic and cardiovascular health. It's easy to skip breakfast on busy days, but in fact, nearly 25% of U.S. adults skip breakfast every day. We want to help you make breakfast a priority so you can enjoy it  any time of the day. 1
