PCOS Friendly Breakfasts

I really struggle with making breakfast. I work from home, so you’d think I would make time for it, but I just don’t. Typically, I get up, grab coffee, and get to work. I don’t even think about breakfast until I’m STARVING and then I just want the easiest and fastest thing to make… which often ends up being nothing healthy.

These breakfast ideas are not only easy to make, but they’re also really healthy! They are all PCOS and insulin resistance friendly. If you’re following a particular diet, you can make easy adjustments to make these delicious recipes work for you.

I try to follow a PCOS diet, but I’m a little lenient on myself, so you’ll often see some dairy included (I mean this blog is called Needs more CHEESE after all). To make things easier for you, I have included recipes that you can easily substitute the diary ingredients or remove them all together.

My Favorite PCOS Friendly Breakfasts

Yogurt Protein Bowl

Vanilla Greek yogurt (sub with coconut yogurt)

Blueberries

Almond granola

Avocado and Eggs

2 hard boiled eggs

½ avocado

2 oz fresh mozzarella cheese

Healthy Pancakes

This recipe uses almond flour, flaxseed and blueberries to pack a major insulin resistant punch. The combination of these ingredients can help lower testosterone, improve your blood sugar regulation for women with insulin resistance, improve cholesterol, and manage your hunger. Plus the added benefits of antioxidants and tons of nutrients!

Mini Frittatas

Similar to the quinoa breakfast bake, but without the quinoa! Using a muffin tin, you can make any combination of frittata your heart desires and you’ll have at least 6 days of breakfast ready to go (assuming you eat 2 cups per day)!
