I eat wholesome healthy options so it always contain a variety of greens/ leaves and a source of protein ( tofu, eggs,...) and might add avocado or bread depending on my mood.
I LOVE smoothies! They are easy and healthy and you can literally adjust the recipes to fit any dietary needs or preferences. I like to make smoothies bags. You package you favorite ingredients to put in a smoothie into a ziplock bag and throw it in the freezer. That way, if your ever running late or need to make a quick breakfast, you just take out a bag and pop it’s in the blender. Smoothies are also easy to take on the go while eggs and toast aren’t. You can add protein powder if you need that early morning protein and don’t have time for meat or eggs. My favorite smoothies are ones that incorporate mango, pineapple, yogurt, honey, and orange juice. I also love pineapple, spinach, Greek yogurt and strawberries.
Honestly it’s hard for me to make breakfast, Id like to make eggs sometime but the cleanup stops me. I’ve been eating pb and js for breakfast and I am enjoying that for now. Unfortunately, I’m taking a new medication and it doesn’t work with acidic foods so that knocks out a lot of breakfast options.
Two eggs, seasoned but without salt or a bowl of low sugar, high protein granola with Skyr, a Scandinavian yogurt similar in consistency to Greek yogurt that is naturally low sugar, high in protein and excellent for digestion!
Eggs Andy toast are super easy to make and can offer a lot of variety. Cook eggs a different way each time and switch up your toast toppings.
Eggs are the best breakfast. It has all you need to lead you through the work day. It’s not heavy to feel "exosted" but it not too light breakfast to feel hungry.
A balance meal consist of protein, fat, and carbs, it can be as simple as mixing power greens with almond milk with a teaspoon of brain octane oil/coconut oil in a blender, it only takes 3 mins and that fuels me for the whole morning! Eggs and avocado are nice for breakfast too!
In this period I’m on a diet. I suggest something light like yogurt and cornflakes. And, I suggest a second breakfast with fruits
Avocado toast is great! A toasted slice of wheat bread, layered with sliced or mashed avocado, and an over-medium egg on top. Sprinkle with a little lemon pepper or, garlic and herb Mrs. Dash...it’s delicious!!
To form a habit of eating breakfast, have plenty of options available. When I have time, I like to cook a piece or two of bacon, and then I put some toast down while I fry an egg or two in the bacon fat. It takes about 10-15 minutes and is a great start to your day. Inevitably, some mornings you just wont feel like cooking breakfast, or you might not have the time. For these instances, I have oranges, bananas, and apples available, as well as a couple dozen portioned bags of homemade trail mix. Finally, I have my choice meal replacement powder, Soylent. I am not affiliated with Soylent and am in no way suggesting that is the only option, but it contains all of the essential nutrients your body needs and contains only a modest amount of sugar. Huel is one of many other options with even less sugar, but I prefer Soylent for taste. While a meal replacement shake is certainly not my first choice every morning, they are hunger-satisfying and EXTREMELY convenient. I tend to use it as a last option if I don’t have time to cook and I want something more substantial than fruit. A meal replacement powder is a good protective barrier to prevent yourself from resorting to fast food or other unhealthy options. So I have options whether I have 5 minutes or half an hour. I have options if I’m ravenously hungry or if I just need enough to sustain me until lunchtime. Make a plan beforehand, but be adaptable!
