Are you ready to start changing your morning eating habits? Maybe you are too rushed to make yourself an extravagant meal or maybe you are just in a rut and sick of your normal go-to’s. Either way I have four great healthy and quick ideas that will be the perfect change to your morning!
Cinnamon Apple Parfait
This dish is a quick and easy one that doesn’t require ANY cooking! You can make it in under 5 minutes and easy to bring on to run. All you have to do is add a serving of your favorite yogurt (I use Chobani vanilla greek yogurt) to a bowl. Add a chopped apple, a hearty handful of granola, drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of apple pie spice. This breakfast perfectly balances creamy and crunch. Plus it is festive for fall mornings!
Poached Egg with Avocado Toast
Avocado toast may be the trendiest food out there, but it sure is delicious. Simply toast two (or however many you want) slices of whole grain bread. Swapping your bread from a refined white loaf to one made with whole grains means you will stay full, longer. It takes your body more time to breakdown the grain in whole grain bread whereas in white bread the grain is already partially broken down so it passes through your stomach quicker. Once your bread is toasted slice your avocado in half and add your desired amount to each slice. If you don’t have avocado often the typical amount is about a quarter of an avocado per slice. Mash it down with a fork and top with garlic powder and Everything but The Bagel Seasoning. Now it’s time for your protein. The quickest and easiest way to poach an egg is to add 1/2 cup of water to a mug and crack your egg in it. Place a plate on top and microwave for one minute. Drain the water and it’s ready to go! (This can vary based on mug size and microwave capabilities so test it until you find your perfect microwave length!)
Homemade Vegetarian Breakfast Sandwich
This is a vegetarian breakfast sandwich that even non-vegetarians will love. You’ve definitely had a McMuffin from McDonald’s before because it is quick and easy. Well, now that you have this recipe there is NO EXCUSE for a drive-thru run because you’re short on time. All you need are english muffins, an egg, cheese, and veggie sausage!
Start off by heating up your veggie sausage (I like the Morning Star brand!) on the stove. Once it is nearly done you can crack your egg into the same pan and pop your english muffin down in the toaster. Once the egg about how you like it add the cheese on top so it melts to it. Then, once it’s all done all you have to do is assemble! Take the bottom of your english muffin (is there a top and bottom??) and add your sausage, egg, and cheese. Top off with the other half of the english muffin. Ta-dah!
Peanut Butter Banana Toast
Okay now, if you have never had peanut butter banana toast you are living on a different planet. The best way to make this is with a thick piece of sourdough. Toast it then slather it in (crunchy) peanut butter and banana coins.
Other ways to amp up your toast a bit further is to add hemp hearts, honey, or chocolate chips.
