15 Breakfasts to Super-Power Your Day

We all start our days in different ways: a breakfast pizza with sunny-side up egg for me, a green smoothie for you, and ham-cheddar egg bakes for a friend. (Unless, that is, we’re all sharing a plate of lofty buttermilk pancakes doused in maple syrup.)

This past year, we talked about all sorts of ways to super-power our mornings with an extra dose of protein and nutrition, and here are fifteen favorites. These are the breakfasts that make us excited to get out of bed and leap into the day!
