Boost Your Breakfast: Delicious Breakfast Recipes from Honestly Healthy

Eating healthy is all in the planning. It’s too easy to pick up a sugar-laden caramel latte and find your eye lingering on that perky little almond croissant, sweetly calling your name and collapsing your willpower. Once in a while, it’s great to indulge in foods that bring you joy. But I’ve personally found that it’s an easy habit to fall into, “treating yourself” to such disastrous breakfasts a few times a week – and let’s face it, these calorie-bombs will only make your body feel terrible later in the day.

Healthy breakfasts are super-easy to make and thank goodness for Honestly Healthy for showing us just how simple it is to create nutrient-packed, delicious meals that will make you look and feel great. If you love these recipes, be sure to pick up Honestly Healthy’s brand-new cookbook: Honestly Healthy For Life. It is full of tips on eating the alkaline way, with over 100 recipes.

Here are two fantastic breakfast recipes to try. Make the Blueberry & Courgette muffins on a Sunday evening and you’ll have a healthy treat for the rest of the week. If you’re short on time, Honestly Healthy’s Green Smoothie Bowl is very quick to whip up in the morning and run out the door. And as for that almond croissant? You may just find that after a few weeks of eating an alkaline diet, you don’t even want it anymore.
