I’ve always been a big fan of strawberries – they taste delicious in both sweet and savory dishes and are so versatile.
Strawberries are great for lunch, dinner, and as a snack, but they’re especially good for spicing up breakfast dishes. In this post, I share some breakfast inspirations to help you transform your morning routine. Introducing my favorite strawberry breakfast recipes!
Nutritional Benefits of Strawberries
Strawberries are packed with nutrients! Not only are they rich in vitamin C, but they also contain fiber, folic acid, potassium and antioxidants. Eating strawberries also has anti-inflammatory effects.
When are strawberries in season?
Depending on where you live, official strawberry season often runs from April/May to June, and there’s nothing quite like a strawberry straight from the field (or the local farmer’s market)! But fear not—fresh strawberries can usually be found in grocery stores across the United States year-round.
Healthy breakfast ideas with strawberries
Breakfast is an essential meal and it’s important to eat something that will keep you nourished and energized throughout the morning. Luckily I have some tasty and nutrient dense food inspiration for you!
From fruit smoothies with strawberries to overnight oats, toast and even scones, these breakfast recipes with strawberries will blow your mind. 🙂
Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie
This frosty smoothie features delicious summer fruits like strawberries, watermelon, and peaches. But don’t worry – you can enjoy it all year round by buying pre-frozen fruit!
The smoothie is extra thick but doesn’t skimp on flavor thanks to the trick of using frozen watermelon rind instead of ice. It’s such a refreshing drink to cool you down on a hot morning.
Strawberry Ricotta Toast
Strawberries and balsamic glaze go together perfectly and the addition of whipped ricotta to the mix makes the flavor combination even more heavenly! It’s an absolute sweet and savory combo win.
Spread it all out on a thick slice of whole wheat toast, top with some fresh basil and give it a try. Gotta love a quick and easy breakfast!
Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Oats
Here’s another flavor combo you’re sure to love: strawberries and chocolate! You can’t go wrong with these Chocolate Overnight Oats, they’re packed with staying power and will keep you full until lunchtime.
Plus, this Chocolate Strawberry Oatmeal is made the night before (takes just minutes) so it’s ready and waiting for you when you wake up.
Vegan Strawberry Scones
Warm, flaky scones make a comforting breakfast, and this whole wheat strawberry version is perfect for adding extra nutrition to the mix.
They taste just as delicious as conventional scones, but are also vegan. Make a batch of this over the weekend and enjoy it all week!
Avocado Strawberry Toast with Balsamic Glaze
If you love avocado toast like me, you have to try this version topped with balsamic strawberries!
It’s a simple sweet and savory breakfast that doesn’t require any cooking (other than toasting the bread). All you need is 5 minutes to put it together!
Berry breakfast smoothie with yogurt
Strawberries go with just about any fruit, but mixed berries like blueberries and raspberries are some of the best! This fruit smoothie features Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and a protein boost to keep you full.
Simply put everything in a blender, mix, pour into a glass and enjoy! This smoothie recipe is easy to customize to your liking.
Healthy Strawberry Rhubarb Bread
Strawberries and rhubarb are another popular combo, and with good reason! I love the light flavor they add to this whole wheat quick bread.
This recipe is especially good for spring and summer when strawberries and rhubarb are in season. Brush with some Greek yogurt or almond butter if needed to boost the protein content!
