Just thought I would post a couple quick healthy breakfast tips that I have been thinking about lately! A few ideas to help steer clear of sugary cereals, donuts, muffins, etc. You know what I'm talking about! For some reason, breakfast is the hardest meal for me to eat healthy. I don't like mornings, I don't have a lot of time, and I want to "grab and go." SO.....here's what I have been eating lately in the AM and it has been giving me an extra energy boost throughout the day:
- Organic old fashioned oats w/ unsweetened coconut milk, agave or maple syrup, bananas, & a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. (Picture posted above) or organic instant oatmeal w/ fresh blueberries & sliced bananas.
- Low-fat Greek yogurt or cultured coconut milk (now available at Trader Joe's!) with 1 teaspoon of chia seeds, unsweetened coconut, & a sliced banana. Sometimes I will throw in sliced raw almonds.
- Smoothie w/ frozen fruit, too ripe banana, chia seeds, unsweetened coconut milk, orange juice, & a handful of fresh baby spinach OR kale. (You can't even taste the spinach!)
- Organic or farm fresh eggs scrambled w/ onion & bell pepper w/ sliced avocado on the side.
- Blueberry muffins w/ coconut milk instead of regular, coconut oil or applesauce instead of vegetable oil, and honey instead of granulated sugar.
- On extra busy days: Lara Bar (Fred Meyer has the best selection and flavors and are often on sale 10/$10) and a fresh orange, banana or apple.
- Start your day with a glass of water. Did you know you are supposed to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water each day???
- Coconut milk is your friend!!!! I hardly ever drink regular milk anymore and I feel so much better. Your body will thank you!
- I should be the Trader Joe's Pin up girl. :)
