Creamy ricotta cheese keeps fresh, sweet berries in place in this quick and simple breakfast. Good, crusty whole-grain bread will make all the difference here. Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries or a mix of the three all work well.

Wheat berries, a nutty-tasting whole grain with a pleasantly chewy texture, are the base of this hearty breakfast bowl recipe.

Kale, cherries and beets team up in this powerful anti-inflammatory smoothie. All three of these fruits and veggies contain unique anti-inflammatory compounds that may help stave off diseases associated with chronic inflammation, including cancer, heart disease, arthritis and diabetes. Using packaged steamed beets is a great shortcut here. If you have cooked beets on hand, use those! The cherries help sweeten the smoothie and add a fruity flavor. If you opt for tart cherries, you can balance the tanginess with a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

While eggs offer plenty of protein, you can make a satisfying, high-protein breakfast without them. This breakfast bowl includes black beans, yogurt and Monterey Jack cheese, providing 15 grams of protein to keep you feeling full and energized throughout the morning.

Chopping the veggies and smoked salmon together with the cream cheese allows for an even distribution of ingredients, ensuring the perfect bite every time. We like the flavor and fiber that a whole-grain everything bagel adds, but any kind of bagel works well here. For a fun twist, use a flavored cream cheese.

Start your day off right with this tasty smoothie featuring anti-inflammatory ingredients. Spinach provides antioxidants that help eliminate damaging free radicals, while raspberries contain polyphenols that have their own anti-inflammatory effects. If you prefer your smoothie a touch sweeter, feel free to add an additional date.
