13 Healthy toppings for your breakfast
Are you a fan of tasty and healthy breakfasts? A good breakfast gives you a real kickstart and ensures you're well satisfied, reducing the likelihood of snacking later in the day.
Below, we've come up with 13 healthy breakfast toppings for you to mix and match!
1. Fresh Fruit
A favorite for many: fresh fruit! Banana, strawberry, blueberries, kiwi, mango, (pomegranate) apple, dragon fruit, raspberries, or blackberries. The options are almost endless, and fruit is full of vitamins and fiber, not to mention it's delicious.
2. Peanut Butter
A good source of healthy fats and proteins, peanut butter! Delicious over your yogurt or smoothie bowl, but, of course, also a classic on your morning toast or cracker.
Tip: Opt for peanut butter made from 100% peanuts.
3. Popped Quinoa
Popped quinoa doesn't add much flavor to your breakfast, but it has a fantastic texture: light, airy, and crispy. It adds that extra crunch to your yogurt or breakfast bowl, and it looks really cute too.
4. Cinnamon
You only need a tiny bit of cinnamon to add a unique flavor to your breakfast. It not only gives a tasty twist to your food but also contains lots of antioxidants.
5. Nuts
Want to get some good fats, add a delicious crunch, and feel satisfied after breakfast? Sprinkle some of your favorite nuts on top of your yogurt or smoothie bowl!
6. Coconut Shreds
Another absolute favorite of ours: coconut! Use some grated coconut, coconut flakes, or coconut chips to make a real party out of your breakfast.
7. Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds are often used in salads, but you can easily add them to your sandwich or use them as a topping for your yogurt and smoothie bowl!
They provide a delightful crunch and are packed with magnesium, proteins, and healthy fats. Additionally, pumpkin seeds contain many antioxidants and promote digestion due to their fiber content.
8. Seeds
Just like fresh fruit and nuts, you can also add seeds like chia seeds and ground flaxseed to your breakfast. Both chia and flaxseeds are rich in good nutrients, full of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and proteins.
Tip: To get the omega-3 from chia seeds, it's important to 'crush' the chia seeds. Besides the health benefits, it also adds a nice crunch!
9. Goji Berries
Goji berries are real vitamin C bombs with lots of minerals and amino acids, making your breakfast complete.
The taste of goji berries can vary significantly between brands, but they are often characterized by their sweet and slightly bitter flavor.
10. Cacao nibs
Cacao nibs provide a delightful crunchy bite, and you only need a small amount. Essentially, they are small pieces of raw pure chocolate, unprocessed and rich in antioxidants, fiber, iron, and magnesium.
Tip: Delicious when combined with plant-based yogurt, Orangefit Protein, banana, granola, coconut, and peanut butter!
11. Agave Syrup
Indulge occasionally in some agave syrup! For example, on your protein-rich pancakes. Agave syrup adds sweetness and moisture to your breakfast.
Just be mindful of consuming it in moderation because agave syrup has a high sugar content.
12. Granola or Oatmeal
Granola and oatmeal have become traditional toppings for your yogurt and smoothie bowl.
They add 'volume' to your breakfast and contain many healthy nutrients like good carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
If you choose granola, try to go for unsweetened versions and use fresh fruit to add a sweeter taste to your breakfast
13. Mint
Love mint? Try a sprig of mint combined with some plant-based yogurt and raspberries!
Enjoy your meal :)
