While social distancing at home, you might be asking yourself, "Am I hungry or just bored?", every hour of the day. Instead of snacking on the month supply of food you just bought, try eating something more substantial to last you throughout most of the day. Fruits, protein, and healthy fats will keep you focused and energized during your 10 a.m. Zoom meeting. If you can't leave your house for brunch, here are easy breakfast recipes you can make at home!

What do you usually have for breakfast?

Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients

1 Frozen acai puree packet (Sambazon)
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup of mixed berries
1/4 cup of juice or milk
Topping suggestions: fresh berries, granola, honey, nut butter, chia seeds, coconut flakes, bananas, kiwi

Smoothie bowl hack

For a thicker consistency, the bananas and acai should be frozen. If not, the smoothie will melt, and no one wants fruit soup for breakfast. Also, try chilling the bowl in the freezer before pouring it all in!

Here's how you do it

Directions

1.

Let the frozen acai packet sit out for a few minutes to thaw
2.

Add the acai, banana, berries, and liquid base to a blender (Orange juice or almond milk work well with this recipe. Pomegranate juice is also super yummy and gives the bowl a pretty pink color!)
3.

Blend until thick and smooth
4.

Pour the content into a chilled bowl
5.

Top with your favorite fruits, something crunchy like granola or almonds, and drizzle with honey or nut butter

Upgraded Avocado Toast

Ingredients

1/2 ripe avocado
Pinch of salt and lemon juice
Your favorite bread (thick is better for toasting)
1 egg
Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning
Greens

Here's how you do it

Directions

1.

Remove the pit from the avocado and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until it's the perfect smoothness or chunkiness. Add a pinch of salt and a little lemon or lime juice.
2.

Toast your bread (whole grain, gluten free, rye - we love them all) until golden and sturdy.
3.

For the egg topping, cook it to your pleasing. You can scramble it, make a hard-boiled egg and put the slices on top, cook them over easy, or even poach.
4.

Time to assemble! Spread the avocado mash on your toast, throw on some greens such as spinach or sprouts, place the egg on top, and sprinkle the Everything Seed salt.
5.

You can also add yummy toppings like sriracha or red pepper flakes!

Banana Pancakes

Ingredients

1 ripe banana
2 large eggs
Optional sweetener: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon honey
Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, blueberries

Here's how you do it

Directions

1.

In a bowl, chop up the banana in several chunks. Using a fork, thoroughly mash the banana so there are no big clumps. There should be 1/3-1/2 cup of mashed banana.
2.

Whisk in your desired flavorings such as honey, vanilla, or salt. Pancake hack: if you want fluffier pancakes, add 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder.
3.

In another bowl, lightly beat the two eggs. Then pour them into the banana mixture and mix.
4.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little butter or vegetable oil.
5.

Pour 2 tablespoons of batter onto the pan at a time. Cook for about a minute - the bottom of the pancake should be golden brown. (If you want to add nuts or chocolate do that now while the first side is still cooking). Gently flip and cook the other side.
6.

When done, serve with your favorite pancake toppings and enjoy!

Bacon Egg and Cheese

Ingedients

2 large eggs
1-2 slices of cheddar or American cheese
Bacon (at your leisure)
Bagel/English muffin/croissant

Here's how you do it

Directions

1.

Toast your bread of choice if you want it warmed up.
2.

In a pan, cook the bacon until crispy.
3.

Heat another frying pan with a little butter or cooking spray. Crack the 2 eggs and cook for 2 minutes, flip them, then cook for another 30-60 seconds.
4.

Place the cheese directly onto the eggs and let melt.
5.

Time to assemble! Place the egg 'n' cheese and bacon onto your bagel (or other preferred carb). Add a little salt and pepper (and ketchup if you're a true New Yorker).
