Easy Breakfast Recipes to Suit Your Lifestyle
No matter how healthy they seem on paper, not all recipes will suit everyone. Some people might prefer a big, hearty breakfast to boost their energy, yet others may prefer something lighter, or to skip breakfast entirely. There’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to how you choose to start your day, so we’ve pulled together this handy breakfast recipe guide designed to suit all lifestyles and moods!
Post Workout Refuel
These high-protein recipes come paired with a good dose of complex carbohydrates to make sure you’re refuelling your body properly after a morning workout.
Double Chocolate Overnight Oats
Protein oats are usually our go-to option for a post-workout breakfast. They’re quick, comforting, satisfying, and if they happen to also taste like chocolate – even better!

Lighter Bites
Not everyone enjoys a hearty breakfast, so here are a few options that are a little lighter on the stomach - great for a pre-workout meal or if you're just not feeling so hungry.
Green Peanut Shake
It’s a cliché, but sometimes there’s nothing like starting the day with a green smoothie to make you feel super healthy! This shake is full of goodness, and yet tastes like a creamy peanut butter milkshake thanks to the combination of Vanilla Protein, Rude Health's peanut milk and Pic's peanut butter.

Lower Carbohydrate
We’re not low-carb preachers here at Neat, but we’re all for helping you to fuel whatever healthy lifestyle you enjoy living. So, here are a couple ideas for those who prefer a lower carbohydrate option.
Desk-Fast Yoghurt Jars
These simple yoghurt jars are an absolute office breakfast winner. The best thing is that you can get creative and adapt the flavours to suit your personal style. If you’re looking to lower the carbohydrate content, use a higher fat yoghurt and stick to adding low-sugar berries and nut butter.

Veggie and Feta Egg Muffins
For the savoury breakfast fans: these veggie and feta egg muffins are exactly what you need. Pair them with tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms or even some avocado for a filling breakfast option that really sets you up for the day.

Fruity Breakfast Muffins
This recipe does contain oats, however, thanks to the egg whites and protein powder, the carbohydrate content per serve is much lower than your average breakfast muffin from your local coffee shop.
