2 Unique and Delicious Breakfast Ideas for Fall

Are you tired of the same old breakfast routine? Oatmeal, toast or just plain skipping it?

Here are 2 flavorful shake-ups to start your day! They do require pre-prep so it’s a great idea to meal plan on the weekend.

Breakfast Buddha Bowls: Fuel Your Morning with Bliss

Picture a bowl loaded with high-fiber complex carbohydrates, protein-packed goodies, and a rainbow of fresh veggies. That's your Breakfast Buddha Bowl!

Start with a base of quinoa, brown or cauliflower rice, add your favorite veggies (spinach, avocado, roasted sweet potatoes - you name it), and top it off with a poached egg or a sprinkle of nuts. Drizzle with your favorite sauce - tahini or my favorite avocado dressing.

Simple.

Breakfast Salads: Greens Galore to Kickstart Your Day

Who says salads are only for lunch and dinner?

Pile on leafy greens, throw in some berries, sliced apples, and a handful of nuts. Top it off with a hard-boiled egg, Just Egg (if you can’t eat eggs) or other protein sources like sausage or a scoop of plain Greek yogurt.

Many of these items can be pre-cooked or purchased ready-to-eat from your favorite grocery store: Berkeley Bowl, TraderJoes, Whole foods, Safeway and Diablo foods.

Why Breakfast Matters: Mood, Focus, and Clarity

But here's the real advantage: Your morning meal plays a huge role in blood sugar regulation. By choosing complex carbs and protein at the first meal of the day, you're giving your body the right fuel to keep your blood sugar levels steady.

And when your blood sugar behaves, you're rewarded with mood stability, focus, and crystal-clear thinking throughout the day. No more 2 pm energy slumps or brain fog!

Try these two non-traditional breakfast ideas and feel the difference.
