A gut-healthy diet is often associated with healthy fiber intake to help support healthy digestion, weight management and heart health. Each serving of these breakfast recipes provides at least 6 grams of fiber from ingredients like oats, pears and raspberries. Plus, they're also packed with gut-healthy foods like bananas, kefir and yogurt, which can help fight symptoms of inflammation and keep the brain healthy. Recipes like our Raspberry Yogurt Cereal Bowl and our meal-prep friendly Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds are so good, you'll be looking forward to getting up in the morning!

We take a classic dessert and put a breakfast-friendly spin on it by swapping in yogurt for ice cream. The thicker consistency of the strained yogurt (e.g., Greek-style or skyr) helps it hold its shape and mimic scoops of ice cream. Plus, it has more protein for staying power than regular yogurt. Lots of seeds and nuts are a nice textural counterpoint to the soft banana.

This vibrant beet smoothie combines sweet and earthy beets with berries, banana and orange juice for a well-balanced flavor. Look for packaged cooked beets where the prepared fruits and vegetables are sold. Beets are high in belatins, an antioxidant that may help decrease inflammation in the body.

This healthy smoothie is not only delicious--it also boosts your daily dose of anti-inflammatory foods. It starts with a base of creamy gut-friendly kefir and includes cherries, which can lower the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein. Heart-healthy fats in avocado, almond butter and chia seeds deliver additional anti-inflammatory compounds to the body, while spinach offers a mix of antioxidants that sweep up harmful free radicals. Fresh ginger adds zing, plus a compound called gingerol, which preliminary studies suggest may improve inflammatory markers of heart disease if consumed daily.
