Since we are not eating out during our March Challenge I wanted to give you some breakfast options. No donuts, no egg McMuffins, no fancy coffee drinks? Yes, I’m sure you are looking for some tasty yet healthy breakfast options. Here are some ideas I suggest:
Proteins
- Lean ham, Canadian bacon and other lean meats – Add them to omelets and breakfast burritos.
- Egg whites
- Peanut butter
- Protein bars – check the ingredient list to find ones without a lot of chemicals/processing
- Make your own protein bars – There are some great recipes online
- Cottage Cheese
- Dark Leafy Greens – Add them to your egg scramble or your green smoothie. They are full of protein
- Lentils, Black Beans and other beans – Beans can be added to scrambles or wraps. They can also be made in to patties or eaten traditionally in a soup. You can have soup for breakfast…food is food.
- Plain greek yogurt with fruit or honey
Fiber rich foods
- Oatmeal
- Whole-grain cereal – I love Crackling Oat Bran.
- 100% whole wheat bread
- Quinoa – Have this grain with fruit and yogurt. You can also have it with eggs or your choice of lean protein.
- Add ground flaxseed to your juice or smoothies to make them more filling.
- Of course you can have fresh fruits or veggies of all kinds.
- Make whole-grain waffles, pancakes, or muffins and freeze them. You can make them through the week.

A glass of pure fruit juice, bananas, yoghurt, low-calorie muesli with semi skimmed or skimmed milk, fresh fruit salad with few spoonfuls of low fat yoghurt, fresh and raw veggies mixed with flavoured yoghurt, a slice of toast or plain bread with eggs, boiled or poached are some of the options for breakfast. Kids can enjoy a Smoothie with their favourite fruits; add dash of yoghurt or honey to make it more delicious.:

Breakfast foods vary widely from place to place, but often include a carbohydrate such as grains or cereals, fruit and/or vegetables, a protein food such as eggs, meat or fish, and a beverage such as tea, coffee or fruit juice. Coffee, tea, juice, breakfast cereals, pancakes, sausages, bacon, sweet breads, fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, mushrooms, baked beans, muffins, crumpets and toast with butter or margarine and/or jam or marmalade are common examples of breakfast foods, though a large range of preparations and ingredients are associated with breakfast globally.
