This year has been the year of healthy fare becoming more mainstream as well as the release of even crazier food mashups than the Cronut. We have been on the hunt for the most delicious of the new breakfast offerings, including packaged foods and chain restaurant finds. Since the morning is hard enough as it is, your taste buds deserve every opportunity for a little perking up!

Starbucks Evolution Juice Strawberry Smoothie
Starbucks teamed up with Evolution Juice to create a line of smoothies. Our favorite of the bunch is the Strawberry Smoothie ($6), as it's the perfect blend of tart Greek yogurt and sweet strawberries.
Nature Valley Salted Caramel Peanut Nut Crisp Bars
Nature Valley Salted Caramel Peanut Nut Crisp Bars ($3) are perfumed with subtle savory notes of rosemary. Salty-sweet, with perfectly roasted nuts, they're a good candidate for tucking into your bag for an emergency breakfast.
Peet's Javiva Blended Iced Coffee
To compete with Frappuccinos and Iced Blended beverages, Peet's recently released a line of frozen blended coffees called Javiva ($4). Freshly brewed double-strength coffee, milk, a vanilla-sugar milk powder, and ice are whirled away in a blender to create a beverage that, dare we say, is more slurpable than its competitors.
Lance Quick Starts Cinnamon Roll
While we're extremely skeptical of Lance Quick Starts Cinnamon Roll's ($3) label claim of "nutritious morning energy," we found them quite tasty. Aggressively flavored with cinnamon, they're like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in cookie form.
Taco Bell's Cinnabon Delights Coffee
Cinnabon Delights-flavored coffee? It sounded too crazy to taste good. However, after we tasted Taco Bell's Cinnabon Delights Coffee ($2), we give it two thumbs up. It's essentially coffee and milk sweetened with cinnamon sugar.
Entenmann's French Toast Soft'ees
Entenmann's French Toast Soft'ees ($6) (aka doughnuts) aren't entirely like french toast — but they do taste extremely buttery and maple syrupy and remind us of Fall. The fluffy texture and incredible flavor of the doughnuts make them a winner in our book.
Kind Healthy Grains Popped Dark Chocolate With Sea Salt
If Quaker Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars were a staple of your youth, Kind Healthy Grains Popped Dark Chocolate With Sea Salt ($4 for five) should be on your radar, as they're like the grown-up version of this childhood favorite.
Starbucks Coconut Milk
Beyond cow's milk and soy milk, Starbucks now offers Single Origin Sumatra Coconut Milk ($0.60 extra). Frothed up and added to coffee, the coconut milk is superrich and velvety and gives a sweet, tropical flavor to coffee without adding any extra sugar or flavored syrups.
