10 quick & easy protein-rich breakfast ideas for you to try…
My #1 requirement about breakfast is BALANCE- complex carbs, clean fats and lean protein! Getting enough protein and clean fats for breakfast sets you for an amazing day of balanced blood sugar, reduced sugar cravings, eating balanced meals throughout the day, and keeping your energy up and moods steady.
1. Cook cereal with nuts/seeds while you’re making dinner, and put it in a thermos for morning.
2. Mason jars take the hassle out of breakfast—make something ahead of time, grab it, and go. Keeping it simple is the name of the game here. Start with plain yogurt or fiber-filled grains as a base (yogurt, or oatmeal, or quinoa), add fruit in the middle (1/2 cup strawberries, or blueberries, or banana), and top with a few nuts (almonds, or walnuts, or pistachios). Voila—a healthy and filling breakfast! Fill your jar from the bottom up, and be sure anything you cook has cooled before assembling.
3. Once a week, make breakfast muffins or bars to freeze and grab as needed. Here is my Gluten-Free Outrageous Muffin Recipe!http://www.kerrymcclure.com/kerrys-outrageous-muffins/
4. Smoothies are quick. Add fresh or frozen fruit and/or greens, protein powder or nuts, avocado or coconut oil, and nut milk or yogurt to a blender, whiz, pour, and run out the door with it. Put any extra in the fridge for later.
5. Make up small bags or containers of trail mix with your favorite nuts & seeds, dried fruit and dark chocolate chips. Take along a bag or trail mix with a piece of fruit for an instant breakfast on the run.
6. Make or buy granola, and add it to yogurt with nuts or seeds and fresh fruit for a truly amazing breakfast – 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup blueberries, topped with 2 tablespoons granola or nuts and seeds. Here is my granola recipe: http://www.kerrymcclure.com/homemade-granola/
7. Enjoy hummus or nut butter or avocado on toast or a muffin, with fresh fruit.
8. Eat leftover dinner for breakfast.
9. Eat a piece of fresh fruit and a handful of nuts if your appetite is minimal.
10. If you’re just not hungry, make your breakfast to go, the night before or in the morning, and take it along to eat later.
