The aftermath of eating too much sugar can be quite uncomfortable sometimes, but one step you can take to heal the added sugar hangover is to eat high-fiber, low-added-sugar breakfast recipes like these. Each serving contains no more than 3 grams of added sugar and at least 6 grams of fiber to help you get your mind and body re-energized with healthy nutrients. Flavorful breakfasts like our Chickpea & Potato Hash and Savory Oatmeal with Cheddar, Collards & Eggs can help you feel nourished and satisfied as you start your day.

Wheat berries, a nutty-tasting whole grain with a pleasantly chewy texture, are the base of this hearty breakfast bowl recipe. The fiber-rich grain freezes very well, so cook up a batch to stash away for salads, bowls and more. Topped with spinach, peanuts and an egg, these bowls make for a satisfying breakfast. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper for extra heat.

These gluten-free, low-carb coconut flour pancakes have a light texture and subtle nutty flavor. They're great with a pat of butter and maple syrup, but if you prefer to keep the carbs down, skip the maple syrup and serve with a handful of fresh berries instead.

For a Mediterranean-inspired breakfast, serve up fried or poached eggs on top of sautéed artichokes and toast. If you can't find frozen, be sure to rinse canned artichoke hearts well—they're saltier than frozen. Serve with hot sauce on the side, if desired.

In Costa Rica, this popular breakfast bean dish is called gallo pinto, which means spotted rooster, referring to the dark beans amid the pale rice. We call for cooked barley here, but you can use whatever leftover cooked grain you may have on hand.
