7-Best Five-Min Anti Inflammatory Mediterranean Diet Breakfast Benefits for Moms

Packed with health benefits, Greek yogurt is a super-versatile Mediterranean diet ingredient that is great to serve for breakfast. For a less sugary take on parfait, pile on toasted buckwheat groats instead of granola and freshly sliced strawberries.

Starting a new way of eating can feel overwhelming at times. One thing that helps: Meal prepping! Cook up components of meals (i.e. grains) to stash in the fridge so they’re ready in advance, and freeze portions of complete dishes (like this one!) so all you have to do is reheat.

Rich in whole grains and sweetened with banana and ripe berries, this hearty bowl will set you up for a.m. success. We love that the berries can be swapped out for seasonal fruit, making this a must-have year-round.

Is oatmeal allowed on the Mediterranean diet? You bet! Opt for stovetop preparation or let your fridge do the heavy lifting overnight. Top oats with fresh fruit and toasted nuts right before you dig in.

Start your morning off with a sweet treat that’s surprisingly good for you. Oats add fiber which can help to balance out blood sugar and prevent spikes in the A.M.

Instead of a scramble or omelet, turn eggs into protein-rich wraps that you can stuff with herby bulgur. heirloom tomatoes, and lemony hummus.

Ancient grains like farro, quinoa, and millet are loaded with nutrients and are a part of the Mediterranean diet. Try millet first thing in the a.m.—topped with jammy roasted strawberries and herbs—for a good dose of nutrients to keep you full and focused all morning.
