If you’re just starting off on a clean eating diet journey, then you are probably already trying to plan out your meal making approach. It can be completely physically overwhelming because you’re giving up so much that you’re body is used to consuming!

By switching to a clean eating diet, you’re embracing the world of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy proteins, and healthy fats added into your world. You’re kicking processed sugars to curb, while decrease your sodium intake. The clean eating diet encourages you to eat multiple small meals throughout the day, and this includes breakfast.

Let’s face it. You already have a hectic life. You don’t have time to be thinking about what you should be eating for breakfast, but you have to. The first meal of the day is what helps to set the tone for the rest of your day, whether it’s at work or home.

Starting your day off with the right clean eating breakfast can actually elevate your energy levels, while decreasing your cravings for empty calorie filled chips, snacks, and other high caloric foods that aren’t going to do your body any good.

When starting a clean eating diet (or any kind of diet), you should take a couple of hours and map out your week. Take the time to see if you can do any type of batch meal prepping to help make your morning routine run a little bit smoother, and still provide time to have a nutritious and fabulous meal to start your day.

To help you along you way of a cleaning eating diet journey, I have some pretty fabulous breakfast ideas to help inspire you to actually EAT breakfast and start your day off right!

Clean Eating Breakfast Ideas Recipes

Cleaning Eating “Pancakes”

Unlike traditional pancakes that have a flour base to them, these don’t! They’re so super easy to make, and you can totally make a nice batch of these to last throughout your crazy work and family life. They’re definitely so much healthier than traditional pancakes, and they’re already slightly sweetened, so you probably won’t even have the need of a pure maple syrup on them. I also love that you can fill the center with fresh fruit and roll it up. Such a delight!

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ripe banana
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, mash banana with a fork. Add in eggs and cinnamon, and then mix well together until all ingredients are blended together.
  2. Prepare as you would traditional pancakes in a pan over medium heat. I use a non-stick spray to coat the pan with before cooking.

Avocado Toast

This is one of my personal favorite treats that I LOVE eating in the morning. You get the healthy oils from the avocado, and don’t have to worry about refined sugars being in the bread. I use a flourless sprouted wheat berry bread for my toast that I get from Trader Joe’s. It’s so amazing!

All you do is cut open an avocado and slice it up over a piece of the bread I recommended. It’s so amazing, and super satisfying. What I REALLY love doing is sprinkling some of Trader Joe’s Chili Lime salt on top of the avocado to add some fun flavor to it. For more protein power, you can easily add slices of hardboiled eggs or smoked salmon on it.

Clean Eating Breakfast Ideas: Everybody Loves Smoothies!

Smoothies are a quick and easy breakfast treat to make if you’re in a rush to get out the door to work. Smoothies are one of the many clean eating breakfast ideas to enjoy!
