Research shows that regular breakfast eaters tend to be leaner and people are more successful at losing weight—and keeping it off—when they eat breakfast. Mix up your morning meal and try one of these healthy, low-calorie breakfast recipes featuring five healthy breakfast foods (oatmeal, peanut butter, yogurt, eggs, and raspberries) that can help you lose weight.
1. Spinach & Egg Scramble with Raspberries
This quick egg scramble with hearty bread is one of the best breakfasts for weight loss. It combines weight-loss power foods, eggs, and raspberries, with filling whole-grain toast and nutrient-packed spinach. The protein and fiber help fill you up and the whole meal clocks in at just under 300 calories.
2. Berry-Almond Smoothie Bowl
A little frozen banana gives a creamy texture to this satisfying smoothie bowl.
3. Sriracha, Egg & Avocado Overnight Oats
If you love avocado toast, give this savory overnight oats recipe a try. The oats soak overnight for easy “cooking.” In the morning, just top with a fried egg, avocado and Sriracha for a satisfying healthy breakfast.
4. Peanut Energy Bars
This carbohydrate-rich bar, full of nuts, seeds, fruit, and oats, was adapted from Amy Harrison’s prize-winning submission in the Plains (Georgia) Peanut Festival recipe competition sponsored by The Peanut Institute. It includes a little protein and is a great grab-and-go pre-workout snack in the mornings when you don’t have time to digest a full meal.
5. Raspberry-Peach-Mango Smoothie Bowl
This healthy smoothie recipe is a gateway to the smoothie-bowl craze. Use whatever fruit, nuts, and seeds you like best to make it your own. Be sure to use frozen fruit in Step 1 to yield a creamy, frosty base for the toppings.

7. Oatmeal-Almond Protein Pancakes
Depending on the type of protein powder you pick, you might need to reduce the amount of liquid in this protein pancake recipe.
