23 Easy Ways To Make Your Breakfast More Instagramable

Breakfast used to be as simple as pouring some milk over some mono-colored cereal or slicing a banana atop of your Wheaties and calling it a day. Now, instead of grabbing a quick bite and heading out the door, you have to think about its level of attractiveness. Everyone is watching, or at least it seems. Instagram will have you thinking that while you’re sucking down your expired Yoplait, someone else is out there staging a damn photo shoot in their loft apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows, flooding light into their bowls and onto their toast, creating an etherial morning meal. Here are some healthy ingredients you can toss into your bowl (or on your plate) to beautify your food.

1. Groats

Groats are the hulled part of a cereal grain that retains the healthy germ and bran. The chewy texture is perfect for hot cereals or pancakes.
