Hey guys!
Now we're talking, more food!
I thought that if I'm going to start a series, why not start with the first meal of the day...breakfast!
Breakfast is often the forgotten meal, which is unfortunate since it's SO great for you. Many people feel that if they skip breakfast, it will help them lose weight. (less in my body, less weight) Well, that's not really the case, nor is it healthy to skip such a crucial meal. Especially not when it's so easy to make something that's quick and delicious. Even if you're rushed in the morning, and figure you have no time to eat, try to ALWAYS make time for breakfast. Here are a few quick, delicious, and healthy ideas for breakfast:
#1. Eggs
Eggs are full of protein, which is great for those of you watching your weight. Since protein keeps you satisfied longer, you won't be reaching for a snack, or some junk as quickly. Plus, you can make eggs SO quickly, with little to no effort.
#2. Raspberries (or other antioxidant rich fruits)
Raspberries are high in fiber, which is great because it helps to prevent weight gain. Strawberries, and many other berries are rich in antioxidants, which are great for digestion. Also, you can add raspberries to the next breakfast idea, which is,
#3. Yogurt!
Yogurt was actually ranked in the top 5 foods that promote weight loss. A lot of flavours will add unnecessary sugars to your yogurt, so as mentioned, adding some fresh raspberries to a plain yogurt is a great way to eat healthy and cut sugar.
#4. Oatmeal
Again, oatmeal is high in fiber, which helps to keep you fuller...LONGER! Plus, you can add those raspberries again to make this already tasty meal, even better. Try making the oatmeal yourself, instead of using the instant packages. This will allow you to add any spices that you wish, and in the appropriate quantities.
Lastly, #5. Peanut Butter
You're probably thinking, "Well...does she want me to just dig my spoon into the jar?" Not necessarily, although you certainly could. Peanut butter was also ranked in the top 5 foods to promote weight loss, and is good on it's own, or on some whole grain toast. Peanut butter is also great for a mid morning snack with some banana or apple slices.
Alright guys, well I hope that you can get some use out of these 5 breakfast ideas. Keep in mind, especially with the fruits, you can pre-clean and separate these into appropriate serving sizes the night before, that way you will save on prep time in the morning.
Enjoy your day, and happy eating!
Bye!
