By now, we have all heard about the importance of never skipping breakfast (or any meals) so as to stay fit and healthy and, of course, to lose or maintain our body weight. However, it’s easy to get bored with the same old routine. I have provided a weeks worth of breakfast ideas to get your day started off on the right foot!
1. Monday Breakfast: Veggie omelet (2-3 organic eggs, diced red or green peppers, diced onions, halved cherry or grape tomatoes, button mushrooms, salt, pepper, turmeric), cooked in extra-virgin olive oil
2. Tuesday Breakfast: Protein energy bar and an apple. Be aware of labels! Most have too much sugar, not enough protein or fiber and too much fat. Best choices are: “Tri-O-Plex”-Peanut Butter Choc. Chip, “Odyssey”- Caramel Nut Bar, “Protein Eight”- Choc Peanut, “Adkins Advantage ” -Choc Peanut. Drink with green tea or water.
3. Wednesday Breakfast: Steel-cut Oats with walnuts and blueberries
4. Thursday Breakfast: Fresh banana along with a handful of almonds or granola mix.
5. Friday Breakfast: Yogurt and fruit smoothie. Try organic low-fat yogurt with 1/2 banana and 6-8 fresh or frozen organic strawberries
6. Saturday Breakfast: Whole wheat toast spread with organic peanut or almond butter, fresh apple or pear
7. Sunday Breakfast: Non, or Low-fat Cottage cheese, mandarin oranges, rye crackers, green tea
Remember to start your day off with water to rehydrate and if possible, add the juice of one squeezed lemon into the water to alkalize the blood and aid digestion. Vary these breakfast ideas as often as possible.
