35 Five Ingredient Breakfast Recipes
Stop over-complicating breakfast! These dietitian-approved five ingredient breakfast recipes prove you can quickly enjoy a nutritious and delicious breakfast before getting out the door!
Breakfast is hands-down my favorite meal of the day. I wake up HUNGRY nearly everyday, so breakfast is essentially my motivation to get out of bed.
BUT, I don’t have all that much time to get breakfast on the table. Mornings are my most productive time of day so I don’t like to waste time futzing around with an elaborate breakfast with tons of ingredients. I want breakfast, and I want it quickly, with little hands-on time and few ingredients.
I’ve been giving a lot of attention to 5-ingredient dinner and lunch recipes (thanks to the release of my ebook, Thrive in 5), but breakfast needs some love too!
I recruited help from my fellow registered dietitians to share 35 Five Ingredient Breakfast Recipes that are balanced, easy, delicious, and fun!
Here are the criteria for the five ingredient breakfast recipes below…
- 5 ingredients or less (duh!)
- Less than 30 minutes hands-on time (the less hands on time, the better!)
- Nutritionally balanced with a combination of protein, carbs, and healthy fats
Without further ado, here are 35 Five Ingredient Breakfast Recipes…
