Wake up and smell the deliciously simple breakfast…

Whether you’re sprinting out the door on Monday morning or lounging in bed on a lazy Sunday, rest assured know we’ve got your mornings covered — whatever they may look like — with mouthwatering, balanced, and easy breakfast recipes.

1. Chorizo, Egg, and Avocado Breakfast Sandwich

If breakfast (or brunch, or breakfast-for-dinner) was looking to elect a spokesperson, we’d nominate eggs. But since everything tastes better with cheese, we’d also add a slice or two of creamy cheddar. And then a few slices of avocado because… obviously. Oh! And don’t forget about the flavor-packed chorizo and potatoes. Snag the recipe here.

2. Overnight oats

Overnight oats is the perfect make-ahead breakfast to help you escape your cereal breakfast rut.

The night before: Combine 1/2 cup oats with 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy) in a mason jar. Add 1 teaspoon chia seeds, screw on the cap, give it a good shake, and let it chill out overnight in the fridge.

The morning of: Top it off with nuts, seeds, and your favorite fresh, frozen, or dried fruit. We’re talking apple cubes, pomegranate seeds, mango slices, pineapple chunks, almonds, coconut shreds, pumpkin/sunflower seeds, raw cacao nibs, raisins… the list goes on. And on and on. You can’t go wrong here–even if you’re doing it while still half asleep.

3. Toast 6 ways
