Most everyone knows the phrase “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” What is even more important is to make sure that you are fueling your body with optimal nutrients it needs to get the morning off to a great start! Below are three of my most favorite breakfast options to get me started on the right foot!
Easy Dump and Blend Breakfast Smoothie
1C Unsweetened Coconut Almond Milk (or dairy free milk of choice)
1C Leafy Greens (I love spinach in this!)
1 Ripe Avocado – cut into cubes
¼ C Blueberries
1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
1 Tbsp Nut Butter
Splash of vanilla
2-3 Ice Cubes
Directions:
Add all ingredients to a blender, blend until smooth, and enjoy!
This can also be pre-prepared the night before by adding the ingredients to a glass jar or even your blender cup and storing in the refrigerator overnight. If you have kiddos like me, and need to blend it the night before, that works too! Just make sure to seal in a glass jar overnight in the refrigerator.
Millennials Favorite Avocado Toast
2 Slices of your favorite toast (my favorite is Sourdough!)
1 Ripe Avocado
½ tsp Lime or Lemon juice
Salt and Pepper
Everything Bagel Seasoning
Optional toppings: Smoked salmon, poached egg, edamame, other herbs or seasonings
Directions:
First, mix the avocado spread by mashing the avocado in a bowl with the lime or lemon juice and seasoning to your desired taste with the salt and pepper. Then spread your avocado mix on the toast, add your desired toppings, and sprinkle a dash of Everything Bagel Seasoning over the top. Enjoy!
Healthy Overnight Oats
½ C Rolled Oats (you can sub for GF if needed)
2 Tbsp Pea Based Protein Powder (unflavored, or use a flavor of your choice)
¾ C unsweetened coconut almond milk (or dairy-free milk of your choice)
1 tsp Chia Seeds
Dash of Vanilla
Dash of Maple Syrup (if desired)
Any other desired toppings
Directions:
In a glass jar or bowl with a lid, mix together the oats and protein powder. Once well mixed, add in the chia seeds, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup (if desired) and stir well. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, add any other desired toppings and enjoy!
