We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating a good breakfast is not only good for your body, but your brain as well. So, give your brain the best possible start to the day with these brain boosting foods.
Egg Sandwich with Swiss Cheese and Tomato
Tomatoes are good for your brain, containing carotenoids, which is good for enhancing learning and memory.

1 egg
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 English muffin, toasted
1 slice Swiss cheese
1 slice tomato
Directions:
Fry the egg in the olive oil. Add the egg, Swiss cheese slice and tomato slice to the bottom half of the English muffin. Then, top with the top half of the English muffin.
Greek Yogurt with Walnuts
Walnuts are the best nuts when it comes to brain power. They contain an Omega-3 Fatty Acid, DHA, which is great for brain performance.
Ingredients:
2 cups Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
Directions:
Add the walnuts to the top of the yogurt.
Whole Grain Waffles with Blueberries and Flaxseed
Whole grain waffles contain Vitamin B6, which help to improve memory and prevent mental fatigue. Blueberries contain tannins, which improve brain health and flaxseed contains Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

½ cup blueberries
½ cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon flaxseed

That egg sandwich sounds so good. I think that sounds like an awesome way to start the day!
Eggs are definitely a good breakfast to have to get the brain going. Peanut butter too on toast or apple slices even. I enjoy fruit too with my breakfast! Great ideas that I’d like to try!
These are awesome ideas! I’m going to need them as well, especially since I’m a teacher and I need my brain to be active for my students. I’m definitely going to take note of these recipes!
I eat peanut butter toast almost daily! I love it because it’s so easy, and it’s quick. Those others are great options too.
That egg sandwich looks so amazing. I am the only one that likes the ingredients, so I know that no one would steal it!
That egg sandwich looks so good! I like making egg sandwiches ahead of time and freezing them for easy breakfast during the week.
I love these brain boosters. I need to share this on my work’s Facebook page during testing season!
I love all of these idea! Quick and easy too! I need to get better at whipping up tasty breakfasts in the morning!
Those look like the best breakfast choices. I love whole grain anything. I hope I can incorporate these into my usual breakfast routine.
I love breakfast! Greek Yogurt with walnuts and fresh honey is so delicious! I totally need to find a good whole grain cereal!
Whenever I want a quick, but comforting breakfast I always turn to the egg and cheese sandwich. It fills me up and makes me happy. I also feel the same about a peanut butter sandwich with banana.
I will try the eggs in the morning. We are out of almost all breakfast things so eggs it is!
I have to admit that I am not a breakfast person. But, I am starting to realize that I am losing out each day that I don’t eat something. I often tend to forget more things in meetings in the morning, and my energy level is simply not where it is during the afternoon after lunch. These are some great recipes to get me started. Thanks for sharing.

That egg sandwich looks so good! I am trying to change up our boring breakfast options so my daughter is excited to eat in the morning.
I’m going to suggest some of these breakfasts to my husband. He has been looking for something that might help give his mind a boost early in the day.
That Egg Sandwich with Swiss Cheese and Tomato is so yummy! But I have to find another alternative to replace the bread, for now. Since I am on the Keto diet. Love it!
