Here are 5 simple Zone breakfasts to start your day right.**1. [Blueberry Ricotta Oatmeal](https://blog.zoneliving.com/resources/recipes/blueberry-ricotta-oatmeal/)** [![Blueberry Ricotta Oatmeal](https://blog.zoneliving.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blueberry-ricotta-oatmeal1-237x225-1.jpg)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/resources/recipes/blueberry-ricotta-oatmeal/) With ½ cup of blueberries this packs a nutritious punch. Make the morning even smoother by cooking the steel cut oats the night before; then just add the other ingredients and go. **2. [Cottage Cheese with Fruit](https://blog.zoneliving.com/resources/recipes/blueberry-cottage-cheese/)** [![Cottage Cheese with Fruit](https://blog.zoneliving.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blueberry-cottage-cheese1-237x225-1.jpg)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/resources/recipes/blueberry-cottage-cheese/) Cottage cheese is a great source of protein plus it’s easy to keep on hand at home or in the fridge at work. **3. [Breakfast on the Fly](https://blog.zoneliving.com/resources/recipes/breakfast-on-the-fly/)** [![Breakfast on the Fly](https://blog.zoneliving.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/breakfast-on-the-fly1-237x225-1.jpg)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/resources/recipes/breakfast-on-the-fly/) With simple ingredients like yogurt, berries and nuts, this is one of those recipes you could stop and grab almost anywhere on the go. You’ll see a theme in our recipes that we like blueberries because of their polyphenol content but feel free to substitute in any berries of your choice. **4. Egg’N Fruit** ![Egg’N Fruit](https://blog.zoneliving.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/apple-egg-237x225-1.jpg) Like eggs, but don’t have time to cook? No problem! Simply microwave them, and in just 1-2 minutes they’ll be ready to go. Couple them with fruit for a complete Zone meal. **5. [Zone Cereal](https://blog.zoneliving.com/shop/zone-breakfast/dr-sears-zone-breakfast-cereal-1-box/)** [![Zone Cereal](https://blog.zoneliving.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/zone-cereal-237x225-1.jpg)](https://blog.zoneliving.com/shop/zone-breakfast/dr-sears-zone-breakfast-cereal-1-box/) It doesn’t get much simpler than this! All you need is milk or substitute in place of granola for some added crunch on top of your Greek/plain yogurt!
