Breakfast
Ham & Egg on Toast
Well…the eggs aren’t green, but eggs and ham on toast make a killer breakfast. Give this a whirl tomorrow!
Per Sandwich
🥄 1 egg
🥄 1 slice Ezekiel Bread
🥄 2 slices sliced ham
Toast 2 pieces of bread and top with 2 slices of your favourite type of ham. Fry one egg to your liking and place on top of the ham. Quick, easy and healthy breakfast, lunch or snack!
Eggs and Veggies
Mountain mornings call for mountain sized breakfasts! This brekkie is getting my day off to the right start without compromising any of my healthy eating goals.
To make the potato and veggie mix, cube 1 small yellow potato, and half of each of a red pepper, a yellow pepper and a green pepper. Finely dice half a yellow onion and a clove of garlics. Toss it all with salt and pepper and small amount of spicy olive oil. Roast at 400F for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, pan fry two eggs.
Serve it up and enjoy!
Pomegranate Yogourt
There’s only one sleep left before 🎅🏻 arrives!
Stay on the nice list today and treat yourself to this festive breakfast!
1 cup greek yogourt, 1 handful of pomegranate arils, 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts.
Enjoy, friends!
Blueberry Chia Jam
I love summer-fresh wild blueberries. I do not love whatever is available at the grocery store all winter. And while frozen blueberries TASTE amazing, they have an annoying habit of turning whatever I’ve added them to a strange shade of purple-blue. Enter this awesome blueberry chia seed jam! And it couldn’t be easier to make.
In a small pot add 100 g frozen blueberries, 2 tbsp chia seeds and 3/4c water. Cook over low heat until the chia seeds have expanded and the mixture has thickened. Add a few drops of stevia if you like for extra sweetness. The mixture will thicken more as it cools. This jam makes an awesome add in to your next bowl of Greek yogourt!
Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins
These chocolatey banana protein muffins are super yummy!
To make 16 muffins:
🥄 1 1/3c rolled oats, ground into flour
🥄 1/4 c cacao powder
🥄 1 large very ripe mashed banana
🥄 4 scoops unflavoured protein powder (I love @hardmagnum)
🥄 1/2 c granulated swerve or other sweetener
🥄 2 eggs
🥄 1 1/3 c almond milk
🥄 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
🥄 1/4 tsp salt
🥄 1 tsp vanilla
🥄 1 medium zucchini, peeled, grated and squeezed dry (use a clean tea towel for this)
Mix all dry ingredients together, then add the wet ingredients. Mix well. The liquid will be thin – don’t worry!
Divide into 16 muffin cups. I highly recommend using parchment paper liners to prevent sticking.
Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes.
London Fog Overnight Oats
Creamy vanilla and Earl Grey flavours mix together to make a delicious breakfast that tastes remarkably like this oh so popular beverage. But this breakfast version is packed with protein and whole grains instead of the empty calories that a latte delivers!
The key here is to make yourself some really strong Earl Grey tea because you want the flavour to come through in your oats. 1 tea bag per 1/4 cup of hot water works well. Let the tea steep until the water cools to room temperature (start from boiling) and then remove the tea bag.
Per serving:
🥄 1/3 c rolled oats
🥄 1 c plain Greek yogourt
🥄 5 drops liquid stevia
🥄 1/4 c strong Earl Grey tea, cooled to room temperature
🥄 the scrapings of 1/4 of a vanilla bean pod
🥄 a pinch of salt
Mix all these ingredients together, put a lid on the container and store in the fridge overnight (or up to 5 days).
Vanilla bean pods are pricey and are a bit of a treat. Feel free to substitute 1/4 tsp vanilla extract instead.
Egg and Avocado Toast
🍳 + 🥑 + 🍞 = 😍
My go to bread is @foodforlife Ezekiel sprouted grain – it’s healthy and delicious!
To add some extra excitement to your avocado mash toss in some chopped fresh basil 👌🏻
Add a fried egg and you’re set for the day.
Breakfast, Lunch or even Dinner. This 5 minute meal has you covered for healthy whole grains, high quality fat, and protein.
Smart Chocolate Shake
I am the first person to say that I’d prefer to eat my calories rather than drink them. But sometimes a shake is a smart choice because:
✅ there’s minimal prep involved
✅ it’s about easy way to sneak in some more protein
✅ they’re perfect when you’re pressed for time and need to dash out the door
✅ they’re super portable – easier to drink your shake than eat a salad in the car!
⭐️ this one tastes amazing!
Chunky Monkey Protein Shake
🥄 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
🥄 1 ripe banana
🥄 1 tbsp peanut butter
🥄 1 cup almond milk (or your favourite milk)
🥄 2 good handfuls of ice
Mix this up in your blender and this meal on the run is good to the very last drop! 😋
When using protein powder as a meal replacement, it can be a good idea to look for one with casein as it’s slower to absorb and will help to keep you full longer.
Cheesy Strawberry Toast
I’m loving this breakfast so much! So easy – but it keeps you covered on protein, fats and carbs!
Toast
Mascarpone cheese
Mashed strawberries
☀️ Have you tried @dimpfleimer power slices? This is basically protein that became bread…every dream come true! They’re the perfect toast base for this yummy delish brekkie!
🍓 Avoid sad winter strawberries! Use frozen ones (thawed) instead. They taste so much better in January then the grocery store fresh ones do!
