A few years ago, breakfast was probably the meal I put the least thought into. I'd either grab the quickest thing I could find, or rotate between the same unbalanced meals until I got bored of them.
Now, I see breakfast completely differently. It's one of the easiest opportunities to get protein, fibre, and a variety of plant foods into my day, all before lunchtime. My mornings can be busy, so I've learnt that having a few breakfasts I genuinely enjoy makes staying consistent so much easier.
Here are three breakfasts I make on a regular basis:
