But breakfast is so important, not only for starting your day off right but also for keeping your energy levels up throughout the day. Here are four quick and healthy breakfast recipes that are sure to help you out on those mornings when you just can’t be bothered to whip up something nutritious and delicious before you run out the door!

1 cup of spinach,
1/2 a frozen banana,
1/2 cup of almond milk,

Simply blend all ingredients together until smooth and enjoy!
You can also mix things up by adding in some other fruits like strawberries or blueberries, or even more veggies like broccoli. There’s really no wrong way to make a green smoothie so don’t feel limited to just the recipe above!
2) Spinach Omelet Recipe
Start your day off with a nutritious spinach omelette! This healthy egg recipe is packed with protein and veggies, and it only takes a few minutes to make. Here’s what you’ll need 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves, 3 eggs, salt and pepper.
First, preheat the pan over medium heat for about two minutes. Then add the olive oil and saute the spinach for about one minute or until wilted.
