7 Easy, Healthy Breakfast Recipes
Here are 7 weekday breakfast ideas to save time and money:
- Blueberry lemon poppyseed muffins
- Healthy egg frittata muffins
- Overnight oats
- Healthy protein pancakes
- Overnight chia seed pudding
- Peach mango smoothie
- Chocolate peanut butter smoothie bowl
What’s even better is that all of these easy, healthy breakfast recipes are made with Super Youth collagen. You see, collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. As we age, our natural collagen storage begins to decline and once it’s gone, it’s gone—we can’t make more of it. Collagen is responsible for keeping us looking and feeling youthful. It alleviates any muscle aches and joint pains, strengthens our hair and nails, smoothes wrinkles and cellulite, and improves digestion, which can help with weight loss.
If there’s one, simple thing you can do every morning to improve your health and set you up for success, it’s adding Super Youth collagen to your morning routine.

- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Serving: 12 small muffins or 6 large muffins
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 2 medium-size, ripe bananas, mashed (approx. 1 cup)
- ½ cup coconut palm sugar OR brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup quick oats
- 1 cup oat flour
- 2 scoops Super Youth collagen, unflavored
- 1 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh
- 1-2 tbsp lemon zest (depending on how much of a lemon zing you want)
- 3 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and prepare a muffin pan by spraying the cavities with cooking spray or lining them with parchment paper liners. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs until the yolks break apart. Whisk in the yogurt, bananas, lemon zest, and vanilla mixing until smooth. Add sugar and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Super Youth, flour, oats, cinnamon, and baking soda. Mix well.
- Spoon in the flour mixture and gently stir in the poppyseeds until all combined. Toss the blueberries in 1 tbsp of flour to prevent them from bleeding or sinking to the bottom of the muffins, and fold them into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling almost to the top. Add a sprinkle of coconut sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins begin to turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for ~5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
