10 Breakfasts Worth Getting Up For

Whether your morning calls for an extra five minutes in bed, or allows you to wake up slowly over a really good breakfast, we think the first meal of the day deserves to be something you genuinely look forward to. After all, there’s something revitalising about starting the day with a little win before we’ve even tackled your to-do-list.

There’s plenty to love about breakfast; from a warm bowl of porridge with all your favourite toppings, to fluffy pancakes on a lazy Sunday morning. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite breakfasts that make the most of the simple ingredients from your cupboard and give you those delicious flavours and the little things that make breakfast so good, helping you feel refreshed and ready for the day ahead.

And the best part? Many of these recipes can be prepped over the weekend, making busy weekday mornings that little bit easier. Whether you’ve got five minutes before heading out or a whole morning to enjoy, these are the breakfasts we’d happily get out of bed for. One thing ticked off the list, and a delicious start to whatever the day brings.
