As a nutrition major and health blogger, I find it interesting to learn what breakfast ideas nutritionists love. I figure that if those who are masters in the field eat a healthy breakfast, they’re the best ones to learn from, right? I also think it is neat to see how differently each nutritionists eats, while still obtaining necessary and qualitative nutrients specialized to their personal preference. What foods we eat speak of our personality when you think about it. For instance, I’m a creative spirit in every form and fashion, and my food shows it. I never go for the boring peanut butter and toast. I need more creativity than that; even in my food! Nutritionists are the same way. Each one has their own preference to how they eat, so check out some of these breakfast ideas nutritionists love to get a new idea on how to start your day off on a healthy foot.

Who said you couldn’t have pizza for breakfast? Joy Bauer is also a top nutritionist popular with celebs today, and is featured on The Today Show on a regular basis, where she dishes out her nutritional advise for viewers.

Then she tops each with tomato sauce, skim mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan and crushed red pepper before baking it in the oven on broil until the cheese is all hot and bubbly.

Obviously if you’re feeling girly, you can check out this delicious recipe by Sirota who uses superfoods to get her started out on the right foot each day. Sirota uses blueberries, raspberries and strawberries and blends them with a banana, unsweetened almond/coconut milk, cacao nibs, maca powder, camu camu powder, coconut butter, Himilayan sea salt, and whey protein powder. Wow! This sounds like my kind of breakfast. I would probably add in some spinach to get in my greens, but this is one great recipe to follow ladies, and the color is especially so pretty!
6. Angela Ginn-Meadow, RD, LDN, CDE - Cherry Vanilla Oatmeal
huffingtonpost.com
Talk about a twist on boring oatmeal! This is a great recipe to use if you’re tired of the normal oats and berries combination. Try Angela’s recipe which uses old-fashioned oats, dried cherries, honey and vanilla extract for a super tasty and nutritious breakfast. Meadow says she also likes egg whites with spinach, onion, red peppers and cheese over toast when she has more time.
7. Julie Upton, MS, RD, CSSD - Protein Pancakes
huffingtonpost.com
Who doesn’t love pancakes? I typically avoid pancakes due to the sugar and refined flours that are found in traditional pancake recipes, but this recipe proves pancakes don't have to take a backseat on the breakfast table! To make Upton’s pancakes, mix the following: a small banana, mashed, 2 beaten eggs or 4 whites, 1 tablespoon of almond butter or peanut butter, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Heat a nonstick skillet with some nonstick spray over medium heat and pour in the batter. Cook on one side for two minutes, then flip and cook on the other side 1 more minute. These pancakes are quick easy, and guilt-free! You could serve these with some yogurt or fruit for a more filling breakfast, or eat these on-the-go as is!
My personal favorite breakfast would most definitely be a green smoothie filled with superfoods like spirulina , cacao powder, maca powder, hemp protein, acai puree, spinach or kale, chia seeds, a little stevia to sweeten, and unsweetened almond milk. I was glad to see some of my favorite nutritionists love smoothies as much as I do, but smoothies aren’t the only healthy option as you can see. What are some of your favorite healthy foods you like to eat for breakfast?
