These 58 ideas for healthy breakfasts to go are quick, healthy & can all be grabbed straight from the fridge. Perfect for those busy mornings when you still want to have something healthy - and, of course, delicious!

We've all heard the saying: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Now, these days the opinions as to the necessity of breakfast vary - but if you're still on team Breakfast is Important this post is for you.

For me have breakfast has to be quick and easy - not to mention yummy - and preferably something I can grab while running out the door. These healthy breakfasts to go all fit that bill.

Why you will love these recipes

• They're healthy which means no refined sugar, no white carbs and no red meat
• All preppable all the way so you can just grab and go in the morning
• They're great cold so you don't even have to heat anything
• All yummy and will keep you satisfied until lunch
• Easy to make without any complicated steps
• Quick to prep so even that will be a breeze

Why a healthy breakfast is important

For me, having a healthy (or at least healthy-ish) breakfast is important for a number of reasons:

1. It starts the day of right - with a healthy start I have an easier time making healthy choices the rest of the day
2. I want the right kind of energy - I'm tired enough in the mornings, so I need something that will give me energy without weighing me down
3. It's the meal I care the least about - so it's where I can most easily make healthy choices without feeling that I'm sacrificing anything

What are healthy breakfast foods?

We could debate this one forever, so let's just get to what I consider to be healthy. First of all what I would exclude from a healthy breakfast is:

• Any added sugar - instead, look for foods that are un-sweetened or sweetened by fruit alone (and not in any excessive amounts!). A dash of honey might get the thumbs up, but not much more.
• All white bread, cereals or other empty carbs
• Red meat - I love it, and I have it, but it's really not necessary for breakfast

What I would try to include is:

• Healthy fats
• Vegetables
• Berries
• Fruits
• Proteins
• Fiber
• Antioxidants
• And lots of great flavor!

Tips & tricks

• Plan for the week - most smoothies are best prepped the night before, but most other recipes below can be prepped for the whole week (or even further ahead)
• Keep it simple - having the same breakfast every day, at least for one week, makes it so much easier to prep
• Get variation with frozen options - breakfast muffins are great to freeze
• Make it portable - store in suitable containers that are easy to transport, won't leak, and which you can eat from as well
