What better way to start a chilly day than with a piping hot breakfast? This February, we are celebrating National Hot Breakfast Month by encouraging you to take the extra time to enjoy breakfast. This morning meal is arguably the most important (and most delicious) meal of the day!<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at this list of hot and healthy breakfast foods to start your day on the right note.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Eggs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eggs can be cooked in a number of ways, from scrambled to poached, frittata to quiche and more. Eggs are rich with protein and vitamins, and when mixed with veggies and lean meats, they can be the base of a balanced breakfast. Here are some healthy egg recipes to try:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookinglight.com\/recipes\/half-moon-browned-omelet\">Half-Moon Browned Omelet Recipe | Cooking Light<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erinliveswhole.com\/healthy-spinach-bacon-quiche\/\">Healthy Spinach Bacon Quiche &#8211; Erin Lives Whole<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayeileen.com\/healthy-veggie-egg-scramble\/#recipe\">Healthy Veggie Egg Scramble &#8211; Everyday Eileen<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2. Pancakes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to comfort breakfast foods, few can beat a classic stack of pancakes. While whipped cream and chocolate chips might seem like fun toppings, they are certainly far from the healthiest. However, you can still have your pancakes in the morning and even top them with syrup. Just make them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/186802\/whole-grain-pancakes\/\">whole grain<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ambitiouskitchen.com\/banana-oatmeal-pancakes\/\">with oats<\/a>. Instead of adding sugary syrup or sweets, try fruit or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biohackerslab.com\/reviews\/best-sugar-free-syrup\/\">sugar-free syrups<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Breakfast Sandwich<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A breakfast sandwich can be a great grab-and-go option that offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatthis.com\/healthy-breakfast-sandwich-ideas\/\">a lot of variety<\/a>. You can use whole wheat English muffins or bread for extra fiber and protein; fresh veggies for vitamins and nutrients or heart-healthy, \u201cgood\u201d fats such as avocados, cheese (in moderation) and eggs. You can also make a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/showmetheyummy.com\/healthy-breakfast-sandwich\/#recipe\">breakfast sandwiches ahead of time<\/a> and store them in the freezer. For those mornings when you are in a rush, take out the sandwich, zap it in the microwave or heat it in the oven, and you are good to go!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Bacon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to leave out the bacon when cooking a hot breakfast, so here are a few healthy tips to consider when it comes to that salty and savory meat:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When at the grocery store, look for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tenderbelly.com\/blogs\/foodie\/cured-vs-uncured-bacon-whats-the-difference\">uncured bacon<\/a>. It goes through a healthier process that still packs flavor.<\/li>\n<li>Try turkey bacon. It has fewer calories and fat than pork bacon.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myhealthkc.com\/blog\/yes-you-can-have-too-much-bacon-and-beer\">Eating too much saturated fat<\/a> (which bacon has plenty of) can raise your cholesterol levels, which can increase your risk of heart disease. Enjoy bacon in moderation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>5. Potatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether you like your breakfast potatoes chopped, sliced or as hashbrowns, small changes can make this tasty side healthier. <a href=\"https:\/\/veryveganish.com\/healthy-hash-browns-air-fryer-or-stovetop\/\">Avoid using oil<\/a> to fry potatoes by cooking them in an air fryer, non-stick skillet, oven or even a waffle iron! Check out these recipes for different ways to cook up breakfast potatoes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rachlmansfield.com\/the-best-ever-healthy-breakfast-potatoes\/\">The Best Ever Healthy Breakfast Potatoes! &#8211; rachLmansfield<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleveganblog.com\/breakfast-potatoes\/\">Breakfast Potatoes &#8211; Simple Vegan Blog<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/minimalistbaker.com\/best-ever-vegan-breakfast-potatoes\/\">Simple Breakfast Potatoes | Minimalist Baker Recipes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>6. Oatmeal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eating oatmeal for breakfast is a great choice. Oatmeal is gluten-free and a great source of fiber and vitamins B and E. For healthy topping choices, consider chia seeds, Greek yogurt, protein powder, unsweetened almond milk and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/food\/g29491191\/healthy-oatmeal-toppings\/?slide=1\">others<\/a>, and be sure to avoid adding a lot of sugar. You can make oatmeal <a href=\"https:\/\/fitfoodiefinds.com\/the-50-best-oatmeal-recipes-on-the-planet\/#tasty-recipes-40056\">quickly<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/healthy\/packages\/healthy-every-week\/healthy-oatmeal-recipes\">overnight<\/a>. However you make it, eating hot oatmeal for breakfast is a great way to start your morning.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling hungry after reading about these delicious breakfast foods?
