What are you having for breakfast today? Here are a few of my favorites!
gotta love protein :) |
my best friend- Mr. Coffee Pot |
Oatmeal is also a wonderful choice for breakfast! It is quick and easy and helps to keep you full! I enjoy the "lower sugar" kind, which only has 4g and about 120 calories. If you have extra time in the morning, make your own oatmeal and add a small amount of brown sugar!
My favorite option! |
how much I believe in them. I always measure out 6 Tablespoons of egg whites every morning... that is only 50 calories, no carbs, but 10 grams of protein!!! Love that. I fill my egg whites with delicious veggies, and honestly, they taste great! I was pretty hesitant to try them at first, but I'm so glad I did! Here is my 'recipe':
Dice up peppers (red and yellow pictured here), onions, spinach, and 2 slices of deli turkey.
With a squirt of PAM, let the veggies cook on medium to medium-low for a few minutes. Sometimes I cover this so that the peppers and onions can soften up.
Then add in your egg whites! I usually do 6 Tablespoons, make it more if you're hungry! The beauty of egg whites is that they are super filling for only a small amount of calories! When they are just about done cooking (not runny, slightly browning), add in your diced turkey slices.
And ENJOY! I eat my egg whites with a side of Pineapple Peach Salsa. It makes them taste even better if you're looking for a little more flavor :)
MOVING ON!
Bananas are my breakfast staple. If I'm not eating one for breakfast, it usually ends up being my mid-morning snack. So much deliciousness.
Lastly, Oatmeal Squares! These keep you full FOREVER! 5g of fiber, 6g of protein, and a heavenly taste. I actually enjoy these more when I'm on the run. I measure our a 1/2 cup of this dry cereal and enjoy it for a snack during class or when I'm away from home. And notice how it has 46 GRAMS of whole grains.. per serving!? That is just about ALL you need for the ENTIRE day! Rock on! I still suggest switching all of your "white" products to "wheat", but this sure is a quick way to get in those heart-healthy grains.
So what are you waiting for? Go enjoy a delicious breakfast and jumpstart that metabolism!
Morgan :)
