Vanilla and Bean

Make these overnight! Naturally sweetened with maple syrup, these buns are a kid and adult favorite perfumed with lemon and orange zest with spices like cinnamon and a touch of cardamom. Finish with a lightly sweetened vanilla-orange mascarpone cross or a powdered sugar drizzle. (via Vanilla and Bean)

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Feel Good Foodie

Smoothies are a great to-go breakfast and this one starts your day with a ton of protein and fiber. It's just five ingredients: Natural peanut butter, frozen bananas, milk of choice, oats, and Greek yogurt. Yum! (via Feel Good Foodie)

Blueberry Lemon Curd Pop Tarts

Pop Tarts have come out with a few snazzy flavors over the years, but you certainly won’t find one that’s blueberry and lemon curd. (via Broma Bakery)

5 Minute Citrus Carrot Ginger Smoothie

Vanilla and Bean

Smoothies are the most fuss-free healthy breakfast around. Let the kiddos pick their fruit and then you can sneak in a veggie like spinach or carrots. (via Vanilla and Bean)

Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits to Go
