One of the biggest excuses for those who don’t eat breakfast is that they don’t have time to make it. Maybe a steaming bowl of steel cut oats would fall under this I-didn’t-have-time-to-make-it category—but not these overnight oats!
This overnight oats recipe incorporates one of the most classic flavor combinations—peanut butter and jelly—as well as a dash of protein powder to really keep you energized throughout the morning.

Your favorite weekend breakfast doesn’t have to be a treat anymore. In fact, thanks to Amanda at Running with Spoons, this healthy recipe replaces the traditional butter-flour combination with protein-packed Greek yogurt and whole grain oats. After blending everything together, you’ll have a batter that rivals your traditional recipe—though it’ll carry a hint of banana, too. Topped with some nut butter–because nothing is better–I’d get up as early as necessary to eat these.

Fruit, yogurt, spinach… and beans? It’s a combination that might strike you as odd, but it’s worth trying. It’s easy enough to throw all of the ingredients in a blender and drink them as you commute to work, too, which makes it a great option for on-the-go eaters. Smoothies are also often a hit with little ones, so whip up a double batch for you and your babe and laugh maniachaly as they unknowlingy down over a serving of vegetables.

This recipe is pretty special, in that it’s a dairy-, refined sugar-, oil- and gluten-free version of a muffin. All of these declarations may seem to go hand-in-hand with a particularly difficult recipe, but this one only takes five minutes to whip up in a blender—and 10-12 to bake in the oven. Even on a crazy morning with a baby on your hip, that’s nothing.

This one might have to be saved for a lazier weekend morning (or a late morning brunch), but it’ll get you out of bed nonetheless. The savory flavors of garlic, onion and tomato will taste even richer when baked beside a half-dozen eggs. Add some chickpeas for even more heartiness, and you’ll be ready to tackle that weekend to-do list—or that Netflix watch list. I don’t judge.
