Healthy breakfast ideas from Kinky Lizard — from cookies to savory muffins.
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day — and we wholeheartedly agree. But let’s be honest: between the morning rush, picky appetites, and too many “grab-and-go” options, eating well in the a.m. can be easier said than done.
Whether you’re sitting down for a slow start or need something you can eat on the move, there are more delicious ways to eat well than you might think.
Here’s our list of wholesome breakfast options – perfectly satisfying and tasty.
Why a healthy breakfast matters
A balanced, healthy breakfast can help stabilize blood sugar, keep cravings at bay, and give you that all-important morning momentum.
The key? Balance your macronutrients: include good fats, protein, fiber, and just the right amount of carbohydrates — and, of course, delicious!
Top 10 healthy breakfast ideas (with a cheeky Kinky twist)
1. Classic Avo toast — but make it iconic
Smashed avo on sourdough is basically a rite of passage.
Add a little Kinky flair with dukkah, feta, chili oil, or a jammy egg on top. It’s your classic healthy breakfast, leveled up — and yes, at our local cafés in Perth we keep it extra kinky with fresh ingredients.
2. Toast & preserves — easy, quick, and dependable
Sometimes simple really is the way. Grab a slice of thick-cut sourdough or rye, and slather on local berry jam, raw honey, or even a sneaky swipe of almond butter. A back-to-basics brekkie that still brings the flavor.
3. Breakfast benedicts — poached eggs, protein, and greens
Think perfectly poached eggs on toasted rye with grilled tomatoes, smashed peas, wilted spinach, and mushrooms. It’s the brunch plate that says, “I’ve got my life together” (even if you don’t).
4. Aussie-style breakfast bruschetta — brekkie with a twist
Swap out the usual tomato-on-toast for a full flavor bomb: chopped cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, lemon zest, and fresh herbs piled high. Add smoked salmon or a poached egg if you’re feeling extra. Crunchy, fresh, and proudly Aussie.
5. Savory breakfast muffins — your frittata, in a cute little jacket
Eggs, spinach, herbs, and feta baked into a portable muffin. Perfect for those who want their brekkie in one hand and their flat white in the other.
6. Shakshuka — spice up your morning
Eggs poached in a rich tomato and bell pepper sauce, spiced with cumin and paprika. Warm, vibrant, and totally comforting. We serve ours hot and hearty — of course.
7. Whole wheat pancakes — stack up the good stuff
Made with whole wheat or buckwheat flour and topped with ricotta, berries, and a drizzle of honey. Light on guilt, heavy on the good vibes.
8. Brekkie muesli — nourishment in a bowl
House-toasted oats, seeds, coconut flakes, and nuts mixed with seasonal fruit and a dollop of Greek yogurt. It’s crunchy, creamy, and everything your gut will thank you for.
9. Popcorn chicken benny — protein-packed YUM
Okay, we know it’s cheeky — but hear us out. Crispy, golden popcorn chicken meets poached eggs and hollandaise over toasted sourdough. Add a side of baby spinach and grilled asparagus for balance. Naughty? A bit. Worth it? Always.
10. Breakfast cookies — decadent nutrition
Think oats, banana, nut butter, seeds, and a handful of dark chocolate chips for sweetness. No refined sugar, no weird additives — just whole food ingredients baked into a chewy, satisfying bite.
At Kinky Lizard, we’ve seen more and more folks grabbing these kinds of snacks when they need something light but energizing. Pair one with a flat white, and you’re golden.
