Bring energy to the back-to-school routine and the meeting table by starting the day right.

From bright smoothies to hearty skillet eggs, here are five ways to start the day strong.

Hearty skillet eggs

Eggs are high in protein, and delicious poached in Compliments Marinara Sweet Basil Pasta Sauce, with simple spices and peppers. Serve it up with toasted sourdough slices, and you've got a plate rich with hearty sustenance. Tip: This dish can double as breakfast-for-dinner if mornings are too tight for a saucy sauté.

Grab-and-go breakfast smoothie

Turn your morning fruit bowl into a fresh smoothie with a little kick (thank the ginger). Blitz Compliments No-Pulp Orange Juice, fruit, liquid honey and ginger and yogurt, and you're good to go.

Savoury breakfast waffles

A mix of Compliments Frozen Hash Brown Fried Potatoes, eggs, herbs and spices is all it takes to make the ultimate savoury breakfast waffle. Top with your choice of protein add-on, like a sunny-side up egg or smoked salmon with sour cream with chives.
