Healthy Breakfast Recipes

What better way to kick things off in the morning than an energizing breakfast, full of healthy, delicious ingredients?

Take a look at our collection below, where you’ll find a range of easy and healthy cancer-fighting breakfast recipes, from grab and go treats like tasty smoothies to breakfasts for slower mornings like pancakes or scrambled tofu.

In general, it’s a great idea to start your day with a healthy, nutritious meal. Your body burns off a lot of energy while you sleep, and when you first wake up is when it needs the most nourishment.

Your breakfast gives you a great opportunity to eat rich foods packed full of vitamins and minerals, which give your body the energy needed to help it grow and repair.

Many of our breakfast recipes also include healthy ingredients like essential greens and fruits, both of which are linked to cancer prevention.

There are a lot of great options, but it can be hard to choose!

If you’re wondering what kind of food is right for your breakfast, it can be useful to consider your current diet, and what ingredients you need to focus on. For example, you might need more protein in your diet, in which case a tasty maple walnut granola might be a great choice!

It’s also important to make sure you’ve got the kit you need to make the meal you want, whether that be the right kind of frying pan or a blender for making a lovely smoothie. Be sure to have all the ingredients too, of course.

To make things easier, on our recipes you’ll see that we provide lots of information around nutritional facts, so you can keep track of things like calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, and protein.

To help you choose the perfect breakfast, we also recommend taking a look at some of the different qualities of breakfast food in our collection, which can give you some extra info.

Most of our recipes contain many of these healthy ingredients which have been linked to cancer prevention, and are an essential part of a balanced diet.

You can still eat a filling, nutritious breakfast, with all of the essential ingredients you need, while keeping your calories low!

It’s worth seeking out Vitamins A, C and D, and minerals such as zinc and calcium, as these give your body the energy it needs to grow and repair.

Several studies have concluded that higher levels of sodium can increase the risk of developing some cancers. For this reason, our recipes tend to have lower levels of sodium.

All of our breakfast recipes have been specially crafted to support cancer prevention and survival, in line with the AICR cancer prevention recommendations.
