If breakfast is, in fact, the most important meal of the day, it should be hearty, healthy, and delicious—and it certainly doesn’t hurt to be colorful and Insta-friendly. But falling into a breakfast rut can be easy. Sure, those overnight oats make for the perfect post-Pilates fuel, but after three weeks of the Same. Exact. Jar., you probably want to mix it up (no matter how delicious what’s on the inside tastes). So Well+Good turned to some experts for inspiration: you!

As it turns out, Well+Good’s Instagram followers have innovative go-to breakfasts. (I’m seriously salivating right now at the thought of chia-topped toasts, veggie-packed smoothies, and tasty tofu scrambles!)

Need some a.m. inspo? Here’s what your fellow W+G readers use for fuel, and, of course, to make every day tasty and healthy.
