Healthy Winter Breakfast Recipes | occasionallyeggs.com

Start your day off right with these plant based healthy winter breakfast recipes! Here’s a mix of the best sweet and savoury, dairy-free breakfasts perfect for cold mornings. I’ve gathered a mix of make-ahead, speedy on the go, and slow morning ideas, with a variety of in-season fruits and veggies. Citrus, root vegetables, hardy greens, and winter fruits are all here, along with all season staples like whole grains.

So if you’re seeking some morning inspiration for breakfasts that’ll make you feel good all day, I’ve got you covered. Need some more ideas? Check out my breakfast archives.

Chocolate Orange Chia Parfait
This vegan chocolate chia pudding is made with dates and nondairy milk then blended to make a surprisingly creamy and healthy breakfast or light dessert. Flavoured with orange zest, and topped with pomegranate and orange juice for a bright wintertime treat.

A Better Porridge
Spices are sautéed in a little coconut oil before adding oats and non-dairy milk in this healthy apple porridge loaded with fruit and seeds. Using this different method results in a creamy, flavourful oatmeal.
