Start your day on the right foot by enjoying a tasty and healthy breakfast. These dishes contain at least six grams of fiber per serving to help keep you satisfied until lunch. Plus, they also help support healthy digestion and heart health. They’re high in potassium and lower in sodium and saturated fat, making them good choices for maintaining healthy blood pressure. Jump-start your morning with options like our Berry-Avocado Spinach Smoothie and our Eggs in Purgatory for a nourishing morning meal.

Eggs in Purgatory, an Italian favorite, involves gently cooking eggs in tomato sauce (with some regional variations) and can fit neatly into breakfast, lunch or dinner. Our rendition features anchovies for an infusion of savory flavor, and baby spinach to pack in extra veggies. Cracking the eggs in a bowl before you slide them into the pan will ensure that you don’t get unwanted shells in the dish and helps keep the yolks from breaking so they remain soft and runny when they blend with the sauce.

This vibrant high-fiber smoothie bowl is as delicious as it is beautiful. Dragon fruit adds plenty of color, but doesn’t have a strong flavor, so the other ingredients can shine through. Pineapple is quite striking when paired with pepitas and bee pollen. Fizzy kombucha makes the texture of this easy smoothie bowl unique.

This anti-inflammatory smoothie draws its bright tropical flavor from frozen passion fruit pieces available in the frozen fruit section of well-stocked supermarkets or natural-foods stores. To make this with fresh passion fruit, you’ll need 4 medium-size ripe purple passion fruits. Cut the fruits in half crosswise, gently scoop out the jelly-coated seeds, place in a blender (discarding shells) and puree until smooth. Freeze the puree in an ice cube tray before blending into the smoothie. If you can’t find passion fruit at all, substitute frozen pineapple.
