Healthy breakfast recipes aren’t just for Stepford wives get up at 5am to start cooking. No, a healthy breakfast is also within reach of we normal folk who are still rubbing our eyes while gulping coffee at 7am.
Today,I’m sharing a massive collection of easy healthy breakfast recipes just to prove this point. Sure, you might not be able to make all 47 recipes on this list, but chances are at least 2-3 of them will suit your fancy (and your degree of willingness to actually prepare food in the morning).
