Healthy breakfast recipes ensure you eat the critical first meal of the day.

It is essential to have breakfast because it sets the tone for balanced blood sugar throughout the rest of the day, and this is important for the optimal function of your metabolism.

It's best to enjoy your healthy breakfast within 45 minutes of getting up. If you exercise in the morning, it is ok to wait a little longer to eat. Don't fall into the trap of making a habit of skipping breakfast and just having coffee, though- this is a really bad habit...So, make time for breakfast. Even if it's just a little bit of time! These recipes are fast, I promise!

Some other easy breakfast ideas:

Organic free-range eggs cooked with sautéed veggies and/or raw cheese and/or nitrite-free bacon or sausage served with sourdough whole grain toast or sprouted wheat tortilla with organic butter.

A smoothie made with 1/2- 1 cup plain yogurt, kefir, or raw milk, or coconut milk, 2 organic egg yolks or a scoop of whey protein powder, berries and/or banana optional: 1 Tbsp coconut oil, 1-2 Tbsp ground flax seeds, 1 tsp. bee pollen, maple syrup to sweeten are also optional (also see smoothie recipes).

A bowl of organic cottage cheese and fresh fruit sprinkled with nuts/seeds.

Soaked and cooked oatmeal or oat bran with a little butter, some nuts and seeds, and yogurt.

1-2 hard boiled eggs with a slice of buttered wheat-free toast and some fruit.

Any wholesome leftovers or any of my suggested healthy snacks can also be eaten for breakfast.
