I’m sharing some of my favorite blueberry breakfast recipes to help you add variety and a boost of health to your breakfast routine.

10 Blueberry Breakfast Recipes

The secret to kicking off a great day? A breakfast that’s both nutritious, filling, and delicious. I try to get fruits into every breakfast I make, and berries are one of the most antioxidant ways to do it. One of my go-to breakfast mix-ins? Blueberries! Fresh or frozen, blueberries pack a serious punch when it comes to flavor and nutrients.

Although there is nothing quite like a sun-ripened berry, it doesn’t have to be peak summer to enjoy blueberries. I love the tiny frozen wild blueberries I get at Whole Foods. Add them to smoothies, oatmeal, or dump them into cereal still frozen! They’re so tiny they thaw quickly.

So, if you’re looking to mix things up in the morning, here are some great ideas! I’m sharing some of my favorite blueberry breakfast recipes to help you add variety and a boost of health to your routine. Let’s dig in! 

Are Blueberries Good for Breakfast?

Without diving too deep into the science-y stuff, studies show that eating blueberries regularly can help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes while also supporting a healthy weight. Not too shabby for a tiny berry, right?

But why add them to breakfast specifically? For starters, they help keep your digestion on track all day long. Blueberries contain phytochemicals that support gut health, meaning less bloating and better digestion from morning to night. Plus, they’re packed with anti-inflammatory properties so if your body’s feeling a little off, these guys can help calm things down. 

Some experts call them “brain berries” because they’ve been shown to support cognitive function and memory. So, if you need a little extra brainpower before heading into work, school, or tackling your to-do list, blueberries have your back.
