In the summer you’re bound to have far more exciting things lined up than beavering away in the kitchen for ages. You want to be out there soaking up the sun, going swimming, or simply relaxing on your balcony after a workout. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay to skip breakfast. A healthy and nutritious meal is exactly what you need to start the day with peak power and energy.

But what makes for a balanced breakfast that can help you achieve your fitness goals? Well, it goes without saying that you need a good mix of proteins, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, fiber and vitamins. You can’t really go wrong with whole grains, oatmeal and nuts, either. But sticking to toast and a topping soon gets old. That’s why we’ve put together a great selection of recipes that provide plenty of variety, are quick to prepare, and make ideal breakfasts in hot summer weather. And the ingredients capture the taste of summer like nothing else!
