<\/p>\nHi Friends!<\/p>\n
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I spent last week posting several \u00a0new breakfast ideas. As a Registered Dietitian, I’m always looking to help people make healthy living choices. One of my top recommendations is that EVERYONE eat SOMETHING for breakfast.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since the most common excuse I hear is that people don’t have time in the morning, here are 5 breakfast that can be ready in 7 minutes or less:<\/p>\n
\u00a0Oatmeal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This is 1\/2 c rolled oats cooked with 1\/4 c banana slices and 1\/2c skim milk. Topped with 2 tbsp pb, 1\/4 c blueberries, 1\/2 oz almonds & a few chocolate chips!<\/p>\n Fried Eggs & Pb Toast<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This is a nectarine, whole wheat toast with 1.5 tbsp peanut butter, 2 Tbsp avocado and two fried eggs w\/ 1 tbsp salsa! Protein, whole grains and fruit for your carbs and healthy fats!<\/p>\n Quinoa Parfait<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Protein packed breakfast- layer 1\/4 c leftover quinoa or wheatberries, 2-3 oz plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp defrosted\/smashed strawberries. Repeat once. Top with 10-12 almonds, another 1\/4 c berries and 2 tbsp granola!<\/p>\n Green Smoothie<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Perfect for busy mornings. Combine some ice, frozen fruit, plain Greek yogurt and a couple handfuls of spinach or kale in a blender. Whirl until smooth and drink up! Add some ground flax seeds or chia seeds if you want.<\/p>\n Banana Sandwich with Eggs & Energy Balls<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Super Simple: banana with pb, hard boiled eggs and energy balls (2 c chopped dates, 1.5 c almonds, 1\/2 c pb in food processor until combined, then formed into balls)<\/p>\n So there you have it! Most of these can be made in under 5 minutes…the one with the eggs takes the longest and I timed it…mine was done in 7 minutes! Everyone can get up five minutes early to make time for breakfast. It’ll help jump start your metabolism, plus give you energy and help you focus!<\/p>\n And remember, you don’t have to eat traditional breakfast foods. If you aren’t a fan of eggs or yogurt, you could have a turkey sandwich, or some leftovers from dinner the night before. Just focus on getting a balance of lean protein, healthy fats and complex carbs!<\/p>\n Enjoy! Hi Friends!
