But just because temps are soaring, that doesn&#8217;t mean breakfast isn&#8217;t still important.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Having a healthy meal early helps balance your hormones, boost your energy and keep you satisfied throughout the day. Here are some light, refreshing recipes that will make you look forward to your summer a.m. meals&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><big><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/breakfast-banana-splits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\">Breakfast Banana Split<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/big><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/girlslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/breakfastbananasplit.png\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nCraving something sweet and creamy for breakfast? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/breakfast-banana-splits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This recipe<\/a> has you covered. Instead of ice cream, this sundae use vanilla yogurt. Sprinkle the yogurt with granola, fruits and nuts. For an added protein boost, add a spoonful of chia seeds and hemp hearts. Finish the dish off with a banana on top.<\/p>\n<p><big><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/7913503\/egg-tartine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\">Egg Tartine<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/big><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/girlslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/eggtartinerecipe.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>A tartine is basically an &#8220;open&#8221; sandwich. Instead of placing your filling between 2 slices of bread, you top a single slice\u2014kinda like a healthier pizza. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/7913503\/egg-tartine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This recipe<\/a>\u00a0features your choice of tomato or avocado, eggs and fresh herbs.
