Bowl of cereal? Not today. Start your morning off right with one of these healthy breakfast bowl recipes.

Poached Egg Breakfast Bowl

As far as we're concerned, a poached egg is ten times more delicious when its yolk runs over a pile of fresh ingredients. Luckily, this healthy breakfast bowl with eggs lives up to the hype. A poached egg is just the cherry on top of fresh mushrooms, kale, grape tomatoes, and cannellini beans. It's all of your favorite omelet ingredients served bowl-style.

Breakfast Salad

Salad for breakfast? We know it sounds wild, but hear us out. While this recipe is filled with all the usual salad suspects, such as mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and avocado, it also adds a few twists to your traditional bowl of lettuce, making it one of our favorite healthy breakfast bowls. Fresh blueberries, bagel croutons, and a runny poached egg on top push this salad bowl firmly into breakfast territory. Finish with a dash of everything bagel seasoning, if you please (we do)!

Egg and Fried Rice Ole

Spice up your mornings by swapping a plain bowl of cereal for this zesty dish filled with poblano peppers, bell peppers, black beans, and brown rice. Instead of mixing it all up with meat, this healthy breakfast bowl is topped with a fried egg, so there's no doubt it belongs at your breakfast table. If you want to wake up your taste buds, add a dash of hot sauce or salsa on top.

Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl

Protein and calcium-rich cottage cheese anchor this yummy, filling breakfast bowl. You can customize this simple, healthy breakfast with your favorite fruits and homemade granola. A sprinkle of chia seeds adds fiber and healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Egg White Scramble with Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes

Instead of making an egg-white omelet, scramble your eggs and serve them with your usual omelet add-ins, like fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes. Before cooking the eggs, sauté the spinach and tomatoes for just a minute to wilt the spinach slightly and soften the tomatoes. Top the finished dish with grated Parmesan cheese. To round out the meal, serve the breakfast bowl with avocado toast for a healthy dose of carbs and fat.

Berry-Coconut Smoothie Bowl

Sure, a 30-minute breakfast recipe is good, but how about a 3-minute breakfast bowl? That's what this dairy-free and vegan fruit-filled breakfast delivers. Coconut yogurt and cashews provide the lusciously creamy texture and satisfying protein count (18 grams per breakfast bowl recipe serving!), while frozen strawberries and flaxseed sweeten the deal and help you fill up on fiber.

07 of 07

Banana-Dark Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

Bananas, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and dark chocolate (plus one more secret ingredient) come together for a dessert-like, protein-packed breakfast bowl that will satisfy any chocolate lover. Sprinkle with some chocolate shavings and extra banana slices for an Instagrammable bowl that can cure all your cravings in just 10 minutes.
