I’ve always been a huge fan of strawberries – they’re delicious in both sweet and savory meals and so versatile.
Strawberries are great in lunches, dinners, and snacks, but they are especially perfect for brightening up any breakfast dish. In this post, I’m sharing some breakfast inspiration to help switch up 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, folate, potassium, and antioxidants. Eating strawberries also has anti-inflammatory benefits.
When are strawberries in season?
Depending on where you live, official strawberry season often runs from April/May through June, and there’s nothing more delicious than a strawberry straight from the field (or your local farmer’s market)! But have no fear – you can usually find fresh strawberries in the grocery stores year-round in the United States.
Healthy Breakfast Ideas with Strawberries
Breakfast is such an essential meal, and it’s important to eat something that will keep you nourished and energized all morning long. Fortunately, I have some tasty and nutrient-packed meal inspiration for you!
From fruit smoothies with strawberries to overnight oats, toast, and even scones, these breakfast recipes with strawberries are sure to delight. 🙂
Strawberry & Watermelon Smoothie
This frosty smoothie features delicious summer fruit like strawberries, watermelon, and peaches. But don’t worry – you can enjoy it 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 off on a hot morning.
Strawberry Whipped Ricotta Toast
Strawberries and balsamic glaze are a perfect match, and adding creamy whipped ricotta in the mix makes the flavor combination even more heavenly! It’s a total sweet-savory combo win.
Spread it all over a thick slice of whole grain toast, top it with a little fresh basil, and dig in. Gotta love a quick and easy breakfast!
Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Oats
Here’s another flavor match that’s sure to please: strawberries and chocolate! You can’t go wrong with these chocolate overnight oats, which are packed with staying power to keep you full until lunch.
Plus, this chocolate strawberry oatmeal is prepped the night before (in just a few minutes), so it’ll be ready and waiting for you when you wake up.
Vegan Strawberry Scones
Warm, flaky scones are such a comforting breakfast, and this whole wheat strawberry version is perfect for adding some extra nutrients into the mix.
They’re just as delicious as traditional scones, but they also happen to be vegan. Make a batch of them over the weekend and enjoy them all week long!
Avocado Strawberry Toast with Balsamic Glaze
If you love avocado toast like I do, you definitely need to try this variation with balsamic-tossed strawberries on top!
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 throw it together!
Berry Breakfast Smoothie with Yogurt
Strawberries pair well with practically 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 boost of protein to help keep you full.
Just toss everything into a blender, whirl away, pour into a glass, and enjoy! This smoothie recipe is super easy to customize to your liking, too.
Healthy Strawberry Rhubarb Bread
Strawberries and rhubarb are another popular pairing, and for good reason! I love the bright flavor they add to this whole wheat quick bread.
This recipe is especially perfect for spring and summer, when strawberries and rhubarb are in season. Smear it with some Greek yogurt or almond butter to amp up the protein, if desired!
