12 Healthy Brunch Recipes to Start Mother’s Day Off Right

Mother’s Day is practically synonymous with brunch. And why not? Who doesn’t love spending a Sunday morning sleeping in a little bit longer and eating some good food?

The only drawback to this setup is the health factor. Brunch foods are delicious, sure. Healthy? Not so much.

That’s why I wanted to round up some recipes that were worthy of your Mother’s Day table in the taste and health categories.

1.  Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes. It’s breakfast. It’s lunch. It’s…brunch!

2. Spinach Artichoke Egg Casserole. It’s like spinach artichoke dip, but in breakfast form!

4. Cheesy Sausage Quiche. Since it only has 140 calories, it’d probably be ok if you had 2 slices.
