Kickstart your day with these delectable breakfast recipes. From sweet smoothies to savory eggs, each dish is low in sodium and saturated fat, fitting perfectly into a heart-healthy diet. With recipes like High-Protein Strawberry & Peanut Butter Overnight Oats and Cottage Cheese Toast, you'll find yourself making these tasty meals repeatedly.
01. Eggs in PurgatoryAn Italian classic, Eggs in Purgatory features gently cooked eggs in tomato sauce, with our version adding anchovies for a savory boost and baby spinach for extra veggies. Cracking the eggs in a bowl before sliding them into the pan prevents unwanted shells and ensures soft, runny yolks.
02. High-Protein Strawberry & Peanut Butter Overnight OatsBoosted with protein from Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and soy milk, these overnight oats provide 17 grams of protein per serving. We mix in chopped strawberries, but any fruit will complement this easy, grab-and-go breakfast.
03. Anti-Inflammatory Strawberry-Passion Fruit Green SmoothieThis smoothie gets its tropical flavor from frozen passion fruit. If using fresh passion fruit, scoop out the seeds and puree them before freezing. If you can't find passion fruit, substitute with frozen pineapple.
04. Cottage Cheese ToastTransform your toast with whole-grain bread topped with creamy cottage cheese. Try one of our six variations—both sweet and savory—to keep your mornings energized and your afternoons powered.
05. Tofu Scramble with SpinachThis vegan tofu scramble mimics the cheesy flavor of scrambled eggs using nutritional yeast. Turmeric adds color, making it a convincing egg substitute. Serve it over toast for a hearty breakfast.
