| | | | I love quick and easy recipes, especially in the morning when my energy is low and my appetite is high. Like the creature of habit that I am, I've been making the same breakfast tacos for 6+ months now. I whip up 2 or 3 over-easy eggs with salt and pepper, spread one mashed avocado across corn tortillas, and top each one off with hot sauce. Simple, filling, fresh, and gluten-free — and it only takes maybe 10 minutes! | | As delicious as this meal may be, I'm ready to switch things up. And who better to tap for inspiration than my fellow team members?! I asked for their favorite easy breakfast recipes, and they definitely delivered. Scroll on to read their recommendations. | | | | Enjoy,

| |  | | | Our team shares their go-to quick breakfast recipes | | Avocado toast and scrambled eggs | | "While the kids are getting dressed, I pop slices of whole grain bread into the toaster. Then I beat 1 whole egg plus 2 egg whites and a splash of milk per serving and pour the egg mixture into a frying pan with some butter. The extra egg whites result in light, fluffy eggs. As the eggs heat up, I gently move them around the pan with a spatula. Between folds, I cut a ripe avocado into thin slices and then layer them on the toast as it's ready. I top the avocado toast with Everything seasoning and serve the eggs on the side. On days when I have a few extra minutes, I also slice up some strawberries. | | This meal is a favorite in my house of picky eaters (myself included), and because it's so easy, I'm actually able to eat breakfast, too. It takes less than 10 minutes to make the whole meal, and clean up only takes another 1 to 2 minutes." — Megan Severs, senior editorial director | | Hot honey and red pepper flake cottage cheese on sourdough | | "I recently hopped on the cottage cheese trend. It can have flavor when you add the right ingredients! For this breakfast toast, I spread cottage cheese on a slice of sourdough. I broil it in my air fryer for a few minutes and top it with red pepper flakes and a drizzle of hot honey. I love the way the cheese browns after broiling. It's a nice kick of spice for your morning!" — Sarah Choi, associate editor | | Strawberry, banana, protein powder smoothie | | "I'm a morning person — aka the *best* (most annoying) type of human being. After my workout, I need something quick, refreshing, and protein-packed — for muscle growth, of course. I don't have a blender, so I use my food processor to combine frozen pre-sliced strawberries and bananas, 2-ish scoops of cookies and cream protein powder, and vanilla almond milk. It takes me a solid hour to finish drinking it, and I'm usually not hungry again until around 1 p.m." — Kenny Thapoung, managing newsletter editor | | Oatmeal with fresh fruit, almonds, chia seeds, and cinnamon | | "My favorite breakfast, which is both tasty and reliable, has to be a bowl of oatmeal. But not just the boring kind — I love to add lots of toppings to make it more fun. Lately, my go-to toppings include fresh fruit, such as peaches from the market, along with slivered almonds, chia seeds, and a generous amount of cinnamon. If I run out of fresh fruit, I simply toss in some frozen blueberries or drizzle some maple syrup to add that desired sweetness." — Lauryn Gladd, marketing associate | | Want more ideas?

| | | Texas tacos hold 'em | | | | | | |  | | Aichoof Colorful Taco Holder Stands | | I used to put my breakfast tacos on two separate plates because they wouldn't fit on one. Rookie mistake. I eventually realized I was being silly and bought taco stands as a remedy. This simple tweak has been a big game-changer! Now, all three tacos sit comfortably in one holder and don't break or get soggy while resting flat. | | | Every product we recommend has gone through either Healthline's or Optum Store's vetting processes.
