In “Thinking Out Here about Learning: Beyond What Goes in the Brain Part 2“ of “Thinking Out Here about Learning: Beyond What Goes in the Brain”, Think Out Here gave some convenient breakfast tips for smoothies, juices, and shakes. In this post, Think Out Here will go over other good quick and easy breakfast ideas.
Greek yogurt with fruit or honey: Use non-fat Greek yogurt with some fresh berries, peaches, bananas, or melons to start off the morning right! Add chia and hemp seeds with probiotic and fibre to make it a really complete meal. Add a tiny bit of honey or agave to sweeten if the mix is too tart. Adding nuts or whole oats is a great idea too!
Egg whites/Egg white omelette: Scramble up some egg whites or make them into an omelette, and add your fav veggies: any coloured pepper, green/white onions, low-fat cottage cheese, low sodium turkey or ham, chicken breast, tomato, mushroom, low sodium and low fat shredded cheese, spinach, etc. All the veggies can be quickly chopped in a food processor and easily added to your egg whites.
Breakfast wrap: Throw your egg creations into a whole wheat wrap or flat bread. Better yet, make clean eating spinach crepes and use them to wrap up your egg creations!
Turkey bacon and sausage: It is a nice alternative to traditional bacon and sausage. Have it with some egg whites. Try to get low sodium turkey bacon and sausage.
Overnight oats: This is so easy and tasty. It is perfect for a cold morning. For an adult serving, take 1 cup of quick oats and add berries, bananas, a dash of cinnamon, and a tsp of chia seeds. Add a big tbs of Greek yogurt and some fibre. Add about 1/2 cup of almond milk and leave in the fridge over night. In the morning, heat up your oats for about 45 seconds and add nuts or dried coconut. Delicious! Add different flavours of Usana Nutrimeal make your overnight oats even better.
Mug cake: Add two scoops of Usana chocolate nutrimeal, 1/2 tsp of baking powder, 2 tsp of coconut flour, 2 tsp cocoa, 1 egg white, 1 tbs Greek yogurt, and 2-3 tbs of almond milk or water to a bowl and mix it all together. Put the mix in the microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds. Add warm peanut butter and banana slices to the top or raspberry puree sprinkled with dried coconut. Delicious and nutritious! It is very high in protein and very low glycemic.
Cottage cheese with fruit: Add any sliced fruit to cottage cheese for a healthy, tasty breakfast that is high in protein.
Breakfast doesn’t need to be difficult to be healthy. In fact, healthy, clean eating is easy, tasty, and nutritious. By eating clean and low glycemic, you’re ensuring that the student in your home is getting enough energy to be focused and to perform at his or her optimal level.
