37 healthy breakfast bowls that you’ll want to make right now!
January 2026 Update: I’ve refreshed this post with a few new recipes (and replaced a couple of old ones that disappeared into the internet abyss!). You’ll now find even more delicious, real-food ideas to inspire your next healthy breakfast.
No matter your taste, making healthy breakfast bowls has never been easier. I think breakfast bowls, or brekkie bowls as I like to call them, are wonderful, because they can be whatever you want them to be: easy, simple, complex, indulgent, sweet, savoury, etc. The possibilities are endless, really.
I’ve put together a collection of recipes in this post that are guaranteed to make you drool. You’ll find it hard to believe that some of them are good for you too, but they are – they all are!
I have high standards when it comes to healthy ingredients. At the same time, I like no fuss recipes that are easy to make. Faffing around in the kitchen for too long takes all the fun out of it.

Let’s start with some of my healthy breakfast bowl recipes
This is how I put together a basic yoghurt, muesli and fruit brekkie bowl. Simply change up your toppings for different flavours. Make these straight in your bowl, no blender required.
Blend up some mango and berries to make this delicious Summer smoothie bowl.
You don’t need a blender to make this one either. Just add the ingredients straight to the bowl.
Top this acai bowl with pomegranate seeds, dried mango pieces, some coconut flakes and your favourite nuts & seeds.
This is my basic coconut milk porridge. You can stir in boosters such as protein powder, cacao powder, chia seeds, and flaxseed. Then add your favourite fruit, nuts & seeds.
A chocolate flavoured porridge, with a frozen banana and almond butter topping combine to give fabulous flavour to this bowl.
I love this porridge because it’s so deliciously sweet just from the fruit.
Banana and nut butter is one of my favourite flavour combos. Give this recipe a try if you like it too.
You won’t believe this creamy chocolate smoothie bowl is good for you, but it is!
This mango chia pudding is a delicious creamy Summer chia pudding bowl.
Brekkie mugs are a cross between porridge and a mug cake. They take just 2 minutes to cook in the microwave, and you can just add a dollop of nut butter or Greek yoghurt and eat straight from the mug.
These individual apple and berry crumbles are like a warm hug in a bowl – sweet, juicy fruit with a wholesome, crunchy topping. Perfect for breakfast with a dollop of Greek yoghurt, or as a healthy dessert any day of the week.
