I know, you’re BUSY. But making time for breakfast is important! Most people skip breakfast, then find themselves super hungry by 10 or 11, and grab something sugary and processed like a donut. By starting your day with a healthy breakfast, you’ll stay full until lunch and reduce cravings later on in the day.
A lot of people ask me, what are some healthy breakfast meals?
Here are 5 super simple ideas for a healthy breakfast! You can make these in less than five minutes!
Ideas for a healthy breakfast #1: Omelets
Omelets are loaded with protein and healthy fats, and it’s super easy to throw some veggies in there to get your day started off right! My favorite is a 3 egg omelet with a little bit of avocado, spinach, and tomatoes.
Ideas for a healthy breakfast #2: Smoothies
Smoothies CAN be a great option—if you make them at home. Your average smoothie from Jamba Juice has at least 600 calories in it, and some contain more calories than you should have in a day!
My favorite healthy smoothie is chocolate peanut butter cup Shakeology:
1 cup almond milk
1 scoop chocolate Shakeology
2 Tbs Just Great Stuff (powdered peanut butter, you can use regular peanut butter if you want)
1 big cup of ice
Blend to perfection and enjoy!
Ideas for a healthy breakfast #3: Protein pancakes
MOST pancakes are loaded with sugar and unrefined flour, spiking your insulin and leaving you HUNGRY a few hours later. Protein pancakes, however will stick with you for hours AND they are SUPER simple to make! Here are some of my fave recipes:
Peanut butter protein pancakes
Sweet potato protein pancakes
Peanut butter and cream cheese stuffed protein pancakes
Ideas for a healthy breakfast #4: Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a GREAT choice—if you don’t do the instant kind that’s loaded with sugar. Oatmeal is filled with fiber to keep you FULL for hours—be sure to pair it with some protein like in the recipes below!
Peanut butter banana french toast oatmeal
Banana bread overnight oats
Chocolate peanut butter overnight oats
Ideas for a healthy breakfast #5; Greek yogurt parfait
Greek yogurt is a great, high protein option for breakfast. Just be sure to get PLAIN, otherwise, it’s like having dessert for breakfast!
Toss in a few Tbs of walnuts OR my favorite way with 2 tbs of natural peanut butter, a cup of berries, and you’ve got a yummy and filling breakfast!
