5 Mediterranean Diet Breakfast Ideas

Are you having trouble figuring out what to eat for breakfast while following the Mediterranean Diet? Don't worry, we've got you covered!

Overnight Oats

In a medium-sized bowl, mix 1/2 cup of greek yogurt and 1/2 cup of milk until smooth. Then, add 1/4 tbsp of vanilla extract, 1-2 tbsp of chia seeds (optional), and 1/2 cup of oats until well blended. Cover and store in refrigerator overnight. Serve cold, or heat up then top with walnuts and/or fruit prior to serving (optional).

Nut Butter Toast

Toast some whole grain or whole wheat bread and spread one tablespoon of natural almond butter along with a sliced banana and sprinkle with pepitas on top.

Quinoa & Fruit

Prepare quinoa with almond milk and blueberries. Any other fruit works, too - (be sure to check your list provided by your registered dietitian for ideas).

Veggie & Egg Omelette

Make an egg omelette that includes spinach and tomatoes (or other high-figer veggies) and pair with roasted sweet potatoes for a healthy, filling breakfast.

Breakfast Smoothie

1 cup low-fat or plant-based milk, 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 serving of fruit (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or kiwi), protein from a nut butter, pea protein, or brown rice protein, chia/flax seeds, leafy greens if desired.
