Having a list of clean eating breakfast ideas can help you better plan out your meals throughout the week. Which I highly recommend doing to avoid stress and waste of time, food and resources.
Ayurveda says that breaking your fast sets the pace for how your digestive tract functions for the rest of the day. Having a clean eating breakfast that’s warm, ignites the digestive fires whereas a cold breakfast would extinguish them, causing slow and troublesome digestion for the rest of the day.
That being said, I don’t believe in sticking to strict rules in any area of life. I need freedom to explore. I do recommend (and practice myself) a warm breakfast most mornings but don’t stress out if you decide on a cold one as you may desire the such on a hot summer day when it’s already 85 degrees at 8am.
Do take the opportunity to make notes on how you feel with a warm clean eating breakfast versus a cold clean eating breakfast. Listen to what your body prefers and make decisions best suited to yours.
Don’t over think clean eating. Especially with breakfast. I have 3 things I rotate between; Oatmeal, quinoa breakfast bowl and my homemade protein bars. Every now and then I may venture out to something else for a change of pace you really don’t need to collect 100 recipes which is what most people try to do.
Pick 2 to start out with and then when you feel the desire arise for something new, try out another. Simplicity is key in making these sorts of changes. Don’t rush it. We have the rest of our lives to try out new clean eating breakfast ideas!

Keep a food journal of the recipes you try and like. Take a note on how it makes you feel, different variations of it and even the specific brands you used to make future shopping and cooking easier.
It’s really easy to jump into things and not take notes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made a wonderfully delicious meal and not been able to repeat it. You don’t want that long lost love in your memories. Lingering on your tongue and taste buds forever lost and never to be had again. It’s sad. Trust me.

Don’t get discouraged if your partner and kids aren’t into the change. Worry about yourself first and they can either:
- Get on board
- Not eat it
- Fix their own food
Remember it’s not your job to give them food they like. It’s your job to take care of yourself so that you can better care for them as part of a team. It’s also their job to care for their own needs. Let them take responsibility.
