5 Healthy Meal Plans For Breakfast

By  Isabel De Los Rios

recipes for healthy meals

When you are creating healthy meal plans, you need to put some emphasis on developing good breakfasts that you will want to eat. Include your Protein

When you are trying to change your lifestyle to incorporate fat burning foods, you really need to get some protein in every meal. Protein has many benefits including keeping you full longer and turning on a fat burning mechanism in your body. Most people think that just because they are eating breakfast, they have to eat traditionally breakfast foods.

 Option One

Scramble two whole organic eggs and cook them up in some organic butter. Add a bunch of chopped herbs and serve them with a side of oven roasted chunks of sweet potato. Make a cup of good organic black coffee and sweeten it with stevia if you need the added flavor.

Option Two

Toast up a slice of sprouted grain bread. Top it with some raw nut butter, almond is my favorite. Sprinkle on some cinnamon. Cut up some chunks of pineapple and boost the protein in the meal by having a hard-boiled, organic egg on the side.

Option Three

Prepare a pot of organic, steel cut oatmeal in the evening. The reason for making it the night before is that steel cut oats take about 30-45 minutes to cook and not everyone has that kind of time in the morning.

In the morning, reheat the oatmeal in a pan with some water. The heat from the oats will cook the eggs into a kind of poached or shirred consistency. You can also have a piece of whole fruit with this meal if you feel the need for something sweet.

Option Four

One of my favorite breakfasts involves taking some organic, nitrate and nitrite free turkey slices and wrapping them around a crisp apple. I eat these rolls alongside a few raw pecans and enjoy a mug of herbal tea to finish off my meal.

Option Five

Steak! I have a long time between my breakfast and when I can sit down for lunch and if I don't want to be snacking all morning, steak with a side of salad and even a sweet potato is a perfect breakfast for me.

Healthy Food For Breakfast

By Teagan King

If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times, "You need to eat a healthy breakfast!" That first meal boosts our energy levels to help prevent fatigue, loss of concentration, and more. We know we need that healthy meal, so how does a person get in the habit of eating a healthy breakfast?

If you skip breakfast once, then twice, then before you know it, not eating becomes a habit. No doubt a lot of you are thinking, "I don't have time to make breakfast!" Take care of yourself and have a healthy breakfast.

Getting up a little earlier so you have time to make breakfast is one way, but if that makes you roll your eyes in despair, try fixing breakfast the night before.

Here are some ideas for make-ahead breakfast ideas:

• Make whole grain pancakes, waffles or French toast, then reheat and top with yogurt, fresh fruit or nuts (NOT a whole bunch of high-sugar syrup),
• Make your own breakfast bars,
• Scramble a bunch of eggs, then reheat a portion for breakfast, or even....
• Leftovers from yesterday's meals.

Other quick-to-fix breakfast ideas are:

• Whole grain toast spread with peanut butter,
• Whole grain cold cereal with milk,
• Hot cereals like oatmeal in the microwave,
• Fruit smoothies with protein powder added, or
• Fruit salad topped with a few nuts, along with a bran muffin.

It's best to get some protein in there like eggs, nuts, or whey powder, and to choose foods that are nutrient dense, not laden with sugar or fat.

Think creatively. It doesn't have to be a traditional breakfast food. Check out the health food store or look in the aisles at your regular grocery store for health food items, check out the produce section, or just anywhere health food abounds. Look for things to eat that you enjoy, are healthy-for-you foods, and easy to fix.

Be kind to yourself and make it a habit. Each and every day, eat a healthy breakfast.

Healthy Meals For Breakfast

We've all heard the saying 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day' from our parents, grandparents and teachers through out our childhood. Here are 3 great reasons to eat breakfast:

Provides more sustainable energy than just coffee or tea (or a useless energy drink) and therefore makes you more productive.Breakfast usually involves sweet things like fruit and honey, why would you want to skip this meal? Ok so I hope if your not a breakfast eater I've got you thinking a little now about how one meal can help you towards your fitness goals faster.

 If you are already an eater, hang tight some great meal suggestions are on the way.

So you don't eat breakfast, you want start but for whatever reason you find it hard to eat in the morning. My tip is to start small. Have a protein shake, muesli bar or piece of fruit waiting on the kitchen bench for you to grab. Then on your way to work purchase something else or have something at work that you can eat before starting.

You should start to feel hungrier in the morning and you will start making time for the meal time forgot, breakfast. My favourite healthy breakfast meals:

Big breakfast blend: cottage cheese, mixed frozen berries, a banana, skim milk, flaxseed oil mixed in a blender

Oat crumble: oats soaked overnight and cooked, stewed apple and rhubarb (or any fruit), walnuts all mixed together with skim milk poured over the top

Mega muesli: oats, all your favourite dried fruits, almonds, walnuts, all bran all mixed together with skim milk poured over the top 

Super juice: ginger, oranges, celery put through a juicer or blended for a thicker mixture

Breakfast Made Simple: Easy And Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Most of us either opt for sugar, fat and preservative-loaded breakfast foods or don't even eat breakfast, starting the day with just a highly caffeinated beverage.  Preparing a healthy breakfast can be less time-consuming than you believe. Cheese or Yogurt with Fruit- Fresh fruit, particularly when it's in season, is tasty when paired with some form of dairy product.

Cottage cheese or low fat yogurt are good low-calorie alternatives, but if you don't care about the calories, any type of cheese is good. Breakfast Parfait- Alternately layer yogurt, fruit and granola in a bowl or glass.  If you don't have granola, breakfast cereal can be used. Breakfast Shake or Smoothie- You can exercise your creativity here.

Add a couple of tablespoons of milk or fruit juice.  Blend in flavored milk powders or protein powders and fresh, frozen or canned fruit. Microwave Omelette - You can make an easy omelette in the microwave in just a few minutes.  Whip up eggs and milk as for any other omelette using a microwave safe bowl.  Filling for your omelette can be cooked or raw veggies, cooked meat, seafood or lunchmeat, spices and soft cheeses.  Cook eggs on high for about 1 to 1 and 1/2 minutes or until eggs are soft-cooked, but still runny. Microwave until eggs are almost solid.  Sprinkle cheese on top. Microwave 'til cheese is melted and enjoy, with whole-grain toast.
