Anti-Inflammatory Breakfast Ideas

The principle: prioritize fiber, protein, and healthy fat over refined carbs. Greek yogurt with berries beats sugary granola. A vegetable omelet beats sweetened cereal. Overnight oats with nuts and seeds beat instant oatmeal packets. Small swaps, large cumulative effect.
The takeaway
Build a 3-recipe breakfast rotation that you actually like. Variety matters less than sustainability.
