You’re trying to lower the number on the scale and your pant size, but you’re having a hard time moving away from your high sugar, on-the-go breakfast?
If this sounds like you, keep reading. Below are 5 simple healthy breakfast options that can help you to enjoy your breakfast and meet your health goals.
- Oatmeal with Chia Seeds
Oatmeal is high in fiber which has been shown to help keep you feeling full for longer and manage weight. Oatmeal makes for a quick and simple breakfast too. Whether you use the instant packets, cook the oatmeal on the stovetop, or indulge in super simple overnight oats, there are endless options for flavors and mix-ins. You can try spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Or, fruits such as apples, strawberries, or peaches make for excellent additions. Mixing in chia seeds (or another high protein seed), can help to stabilize blood sugars even further. Protein and fiber slow digestion, which helps to prevent overeating, feel full for longer, and regulate blood sugar levels.
- Egg omelet with veggies
Eggs are a great source of protein that will help keep you full and satisfied. And, when you add in plenty of veggies you get all the extra healthy nutrients, fiber, and promote weight loss.
- Whole grain toast with almond butter
When choosing a simple toast breakfast, always look for “whole grain” on the label. Processed bread that takes out part of the grain, takes away the much of the fiber. Adding a fat source such as almond butter also adds not only adds great flavor, but helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable and feeling full.
- Salmon breakfast bowl
Who says you can’t have salmon for breakfast? Salmon makes a great addition to a breakfast bowl. One of the great things about breakfast bowls is that you can really add in whatever you want. Salmon adds healthy proteins and fats, while veggies, or whole grain additions help to add that extra boost of fiber.
- High protein granola bars
Granola bars can be such a great, quick, healthy breakfast choice for those of us that are low on time in the mornings. However, granola bars can be high in sugar. So be sure to find one that is tasty, but has more than 10 grams of protein and less than 10 grams of added sugars.
