9 SIMPLE BREAKFAST IDEAS from a Functional Nutritionist
EGGS + VEGGIES
one of the best ways to have veggies, protein, and healthy fat for your first meal of the day
2. LOADED OATS
soaking oats overnight makes them easier to digest (enjoy hot or cold)
get your protein and fat by loading with toppings
try ground flaxseed, cinnamon, walnuts, raisins, and sea salt
3. FRUIT + NUTS
fruit (fresh, frozen, or dried) + nuts or nut butter
frozen bananas are tasty with almond butter & granola
4. MEAT PATTIES
prepped and stored in freezer
compliment with fruit, veggies, or breakfast potatoes
5. LOADED TOAST
(or rice cakes)
fried egg
avocado, salt, pepper, + chia seeds
nut butter + banana
nut butter + honey + cinnamon
6. PARFAIT
base: plain yogurt/kefir OR unsweetened applesauce OR chia pudding (chia seeds + milk + honey/maple syrup, let sit overnight)
try fruit (fresh, frozen, dried) + granola, nuts, seeds, raw coconut
7. SMOOTHIE BOWL
pour your smoothie into a bowl and top with fruit, granola, cereal, nuts, seeds, coconut, nut butter, honey, etc
chewing helps your body recognize that you are eating food

a very under-rated breakfast food
it is okay to break the "breakfast food boundaries"
