POST FROM LAURENCONRAD.COM - 4 ENERGY BREAKFAST TO FUEL YOUR MORNINGS

Without further ado, here are my four favorite energy breakfasts…
eggsspinach

Egg Sunny Side Up, Spinach & Mushrooms

This egg and veggie combo gives your body everything it needs in the mornings. The bread will keep you full until lunch and the protein from the egg will give you energy. Plus, nutrient-rich spinach is one of the best leafy greens to start off your day.
blueberry

Plain Greek Yogurt, Blueberries & a Sprinkle of Cinnamon

If you have a sweet tooth, this one is for you. You will get a protein and probiotic boost from the Greek yogurt, and major antioxidants from the blueberries. Instead of using sugary honey on top, I sprinkled a pinch of cinnamon for a low-calorie kick.

strawberries

Peanut Butter & Strawberries

While it may be simple, this energy breakfast is satisfying and delicious. Peanut butter on toast is one of my go-to snacks, but I like to add in some vitamin C-rich strawberries to help boost my immune system.

Egg Sunny Side Up, Avocado & Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Being a self-professed avocado addict, this last recipe is my favorite of the four. Simply spread avocado on your bread, sprinkle some crushed red pepper, and top it off with an egg. The avocado will give your body healthy fats that promote shiny hair and glowing skin and the red pepper will give your metabolism a little boost too. If you’re a Sriracha fan, feel free to sub the spicy sauce for the crushed red pepper.
