Recipes that’ll make you excited to get up in the morning!
Yes, yes you’ve been told before. Breakfast eaters are typically healthy eaters and consume higher amounts of vitamin A, C, riboflavin, calcium, zinc, and iron. Eating breakfast can help with weight loss, muscle gain, and curb those snack attacks. But if I’ve learned anything from counseling nutrition patients, it’s that knowledge can only do so much towards change. Knowing something and doing it are totally different.
So for those of you with busy schedules (…everyone…), we’re here to support you in all your health goals with workouts and recipes that fit your life and tastes. Here are just a few of our healthy, delicious, on-the-go breakfasts to help you reap maximum health benefits.
A high-protein (35g per serving) shake that tastes just like banana bread! Protein at breakfast is vital for maintaining and gaining muscle and keeping your appetite at bay.
Place everything in a blender except ice. Blend until smooth. Add ice and blend again until thick and smooth. Enjoy!
These are the perfect make-ahead breakfast. On busy mornings, simply pop a frozen burrito in the microwave for 3 minutes!
Place the chopped potatoes in a small pot. Barely cover with water. Bring potatoes to a boil, then lower temperature and simmer for about 8 minutes until potatoes are tender, but still hold their shape. Drain the potatoes and set aside. Heat oil in a skillet and add turkey bacon, bell pepper, and onion. Sauté 1–2 minutes. Add potatoes and heat until they start to brown. Remove from heat and set aside. Mix eggs, egg whites, and milk in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper. Scramble eggs in a heated, nonstick skillet, being careful not to overcook. Remove from the heat and set aside. Assemble each tortilla with potato mixture, eggs, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Roll up into a burrito and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 2 hours, remove from baking sheet, and place in a freezer bag to store. When ready to eat, simply wrap a burrito in a paper towel and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes or until the center is hot.
This is a high-fiber breakfast that’s great for when you’re on the go—no cooking required! It also works great with protein powder for an extra boost!
Mix together all ingredients plus the mix-in of your choice. Pour into a sealed container and refrigerate for 6 or more hours. Enjoy your no-cook refrigerator oatmeal!
Muffins are a great on-the-go breakfast. Pair them with a glass of milk, yogurt, nuts, or a hard boiled egg for a little satiety. Plus, these can easily be made gluten-free!
Toss strawberries and rhubarb with the lemon juice. Set aside. Grease a muffin tin and preheat the oven to 375°F. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (spelt flour, almond meal, flax meal, oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ginger). In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the applesauce, honey, and milk. Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the strawberries and rhubarb. Fill prepared muffin tins ¾ full and bake for 20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
This granola is loaded with delicious, raw nuts and dried fruits. Put it on some yogurt for a quick morning parfait you can eat on the go.
Mix oats, dried milk, coconut, nuts, and dried fruits together in a large bowl. Heat oil in a small saucepan. Add honey, vanilla, and salt. Stir until smooth. Add sauce to oat mixture and combine well. Pour onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes until golden brown. Stir and bake another 15 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container.
