SMOOTHIES

 My absolute favorite breakfast is a thick and creamy green smoothie! Smoothies have been my go to everyday for almost a decade. They’re versatile, highly nutritious, you can make them in minutes and they’re portable. I love smoothies because if you’re like me and want to get greens into your diet, boost up on collagen or other superfood ingredients like ginger and chia seeds they are the perfect way to do that! You can prep them ahead of time making life a lot easier for busy mornings and they’re portable so you can blend and go! Smoothies are high on my list because they’re an easy way to consume veggies and fruits, get superfood nutrient benefits and a great balanced meal that will start your day off right! 

Here is a delicious fall inspired smoothie you can make this week to add more greens to your diet easily!

MAKE IT 

Apple Cinnamon Smoothie 

¾ C Greek Yogurt, Plain 

1 C  apple, cored and seeds removed 

1 /2 banana, frozen

2 Cups Spinach, washed, ready to eat 

1 TBSP ground flaxseed 

½ tsp cinnamon 

½ tsp Honey, or more to taste, optional 

Lemon zest, from one half lemon

Sea Salt small pinch to taste

1 Cup Ice 

Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy!

QUICHE


Yes, I just said Quiche! I know the name makes it sound all fancy and time consuming but a Quiche is one of the easier breakfast meals you can easily whip up!  Quiches are basically eggs, veggies,  cheese and seasonings. I typically make them crustless so that they’re gluten free, lower carb and a keto friendly choice. You can add things like turkey, chicken or sausage for more flavor and a boost of protein. Quiches warm up and store well in the fridge for days. Make a large batch on Sunday to have throughout the week or even freeze ahead for busy weekend mornings. If you like eggs, you will love this broccoli cheddar quiche recipe! 

MAKE IT

Broccoli Cheddar Quiche 

8 Eggs, 

1/2C Milk or Water 

1 Cup Cheddar Cheese, finely shredded 

½ Cup Diced red pepper 

4 Cups Broccoli, finely chopped

½ tsp Italian Seasoning

Sea Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400*

Crack egg into a bowl, whisk 

Add liquid, mix well. 

Add in remaining ingredients, stir until combined. 

Place mixture into a 2 quart casserole dish or 8×8 glass baking dish. 

Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until no longer runny in the center. 

OAT BOWLS 

If you’ve never had a delicious, loaded oat bowl you’re totally missing out! First they’re one of the healthiest meals you can make! Oats are naturally gluten free, loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein. Oatmeal by itself can be pretty bland but when loaded up with other wholesome ingredients like almond butter and raspberries, they taste so good! Adding ingredients like nut butter, spices, nuts, seeds and fruits to “beef” it up, increases the nutritional density allowing it to stick with you longer throughout the morning. The protein content and healthy carbs will fill you up, keep you full and give you lasting energy! Make several oat bowls up at once and keep them handy in the fridge for days!  I like my oat bowls warm so when I take them out of the fridge, I’ll microwave for about two minutes stirring halfway. Sometimes I add a little more liquid because the oats tend soak up what’s there the longer it sits in the fridge.  Additional liquid to add will depend on what else is in your bowl and your texture preference. You can also eat them cold as they’re still pretty good that way too. Either way you enjoy them will still be a great addition to your breakfast routine! 

MAKE IT 

Blueberry Oat Bowl

1/2C Oats, traditional 

½-1C Coconut Milk or similar

1tbl peanut butter 

½ cup blueberries 

⅛ tsp cinnamon 

1 small chunk banana 

¼ C chopped pecans 

1 TBL Chia Seeds

Combine all ingredients into a dish. Stir well. 

Cover and store in the fridge for up to 6 days. 

On day off, warm about 2 minutes adding liquid to desired consistency. 

SCRAMBLED EGG WRAP

Scrambled Egg wraps are an excellent prep ahead breakfast option! They hold up well during the week and you can prepare a large batch at once and enjoy it throughout the week. Scrambled egg wraps are something you can mix and match ingredients to change up the flavor. Make a large portion at once then on the day of, warm it up, smash an avocado on top of a whole grain or low carb wrap and Enjoy!  Egg wraps are another great way to eat more veggies and a balanced meal first thing in the morning.

MAKE IT

Low Carb Scramble Wrap 

10 eggs 

1/4C Water 

1 C Bell Peppers, diced 

¼ C Sweet Onion, diced 

2 Cups Spinach, Chopped 

1 Tbsp Olive Oil 

Sea salt and Pepper 

Mix eggs and water together in a bowl until fluffy. 

Heat oil in fry pan, add peppers and onions . 

Cook for about 2 minutes until tender. 

Add Chopped spinach, cook for about 1 minute stirring often. 

Add Egg mixture to pan. Cook about 5 minutes until fluffy and cooked through. 

Set aside.

Top a whole grain wrap with smashed avocado, sour cream or olive oil. Then add scrambled egg mixture. Wrap like a burrito and enjoy! 

SCRAMBLED EGG STUFFED SWEET POTATO

This breakfast combo is absolutely delicious and is a great one to add to your list of post morning workout meals! The sweet potato contains essential nutrients like Copper, Vitamin C and Quercetin that help restore and replenish nutrients lost after a sweaty workout. Creating a balanced meal is a great way to refuel after a workout and ensure you’re starting your day right in the morning. Adding fluffy scrambled eggs and bacon creates the protein portion of the meal. While the creamy avocado is full of healthy fat, skin benefits and it takes awhile to digest so it will keep you full and satisfied throughout the morning! 

MAKE IT 

1 Medium Sweet Potato

½ Avocado 

2 eggs or 3 egg whites

2 Slices bacon

Sea salt 

Pepper 

1/4C Water 

1 Tbl Olive Oil 

Wash sweet potato, pierce with fork a few times so heat can escape. Boil potato about 25 minutes until tender. 

Allow to cool. Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise. 

Meanwhile, cook bacon to package directions.  

In a bowl, whisk water and egg whites together until fluffy. Add sea salt and pepper. 

Lightly coat a fry pan with cooking spray. Heat pan for about 20 seconds, add eggs. 

Let cook for about 30 seconds then begin to scrape sides of the pan with spatula and push eggs together, fluffing them up. 

Once cooked through. Turn off heat and set aside. 

Stuff eggs into sweet potato, top with diced avocado and bacon. 

Enjoy!
