Once upon a time, I was part of the “don’t eat anything until 1100hrs” club. I was a major breakfast skipper. I thought that eating less in a day would make me lose weight. In fact it did the complete opposite. I gained 10kg and my metabolism slowed right down. I’m not saying the the meal skipping was completely to blame for the weight gain, but it defiantly contributed.
I now wake up every morning, do my 30-45minute walk, then come home to eat.
I have usually smashed two meals before 1100hrs now! Haha!
Over the past week I have been eating very strictly and sticking to a meal plan of healthy food choices. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, so I’m going to share with you my top 5 picks.
SMOOTHIE BOWL
1/2 a frozen Banana
30g vanilla protein
50g spinach
ice
30g oats
1. Blend all ingredients together and enjoy straight away.
Note – this is a great meal on the run in smoothie jar, or you can sit down to it in a bowl, topped with your favourite granola.
Eggs on Rye
2 slice rye toast
3 tbsp organic tin tomatoes
2 organic eggs
30g cottage cheese
1. Cook the rye.
2. Spread the tin tomatos evenly on the toast.
3. Cook the eggs with the 30g cottage cheese wished in.
Breakfast Protein Loaf
250g organic oats
2 organic eggs
90g vanilla protein (can use almond meal and vanilla essence of you refuse to use protein)
1 Apple
Cinnamon
1 tbsp maple
1 tbsp coconut oil or peanut butter for good fats
50mls coconut water.
1. Preheat oven to 180degrees
2. Blend all ingredients together.
3. Put in oven proof dish.
4. Mix in 100g blueberries and a small handful of trail mix on top (optional). I also added a chopped Apple.
5. Bake for 30-45min on 180 degrees. It truly all depends on your oven.
Note – Serve warm or cold. Serves 5. Can freeze.
Great for meal prepping for the week.
Protein Pancakes
30g oats
1 egg
30g vanilla protein
1/2 apple
1/2 tsp cinnamon
50mls water.
1. Blitz ingredients in blender
2. Place mixture in the fry pan and cook untill golden each side.
Note – It’s so easy. Topped with Greek yogurt, blueberries and prunes.
Breakfast Burrito
1 mountain bread
Greens from the garden (spinach and kale)
30g cottage cheese
30g basil and oregano tin tomatoes
2 organic eggs
1. Cook the eggs
2. On the mountain bread, place the cottage cheese, tomatos, cooked eggs, green and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Enjoy cold or you can place in the sandwich presser.
All these breakfast meals took no longer than 15minutes each to make. Some of them can be pre perpared the night before.
I hope you found some breakfast inspiration in this blog post.
