There's a reason wellness bloggers can't get enough of chia seeds. They have 16.5 grams of protein per 100 grams, making them great fuel to start the day. Another bonus is that chia seed puddings can be prepared the night before. This refreshing version combines mango and raspberries and is infinitely simpler than some highly decorated Instagram versions.

Frittatas aren't just for special weekend breakfasts. Make a sheet pan frittata, like this veggie and ricotta version, at night and you'll have a hearty and nutritious breakfast for morning. The meal can be reheated or served cold. It's so good you might want to have it again for lunch and dinner.

You have our full permission to eat cookies for breakfast — as long as it's these virtuous cookies. They're free of gluten, dairy, eggs and refined sugar. The delicious palm-sized wonders are loaded with dried fruit, seeds, oats, flax, chia seeds and more. If you're really short on time you can take a couple for your commute.

It's strawberry cheesecake for breakfast in a transportable and quick-to-down liquid format. Need we say more? It's healthy and filling, too. And the smoothie requires just five ingredients (or six if you want graham crackers on top). Greek yogurt, banana and protein powder ensure that this is one smoothie that won't leave you with empty belly syndrome.

Make a virtuous golden milk latte a lot more filling by turning it into an overnight oat recipe. This has all the ingredients of the traditional drink but with chia seeds and a half cup of satisfying oats. Pump it up with nuts or nut butter.
