My battle with breakfast -
So here we are, day 2, almost 11am. I once again had my egg casserole thing, and am on my 2nd cup of coffee (typically 2-3 LARGE cups of coffee a day). Yay for me, I ate food before noon :) I have to say I despise the necessity to eat breakfast. I do not like breakfast food. Eggs with all sorts of stuff in it is about the only thing I find fairly tasty but it gets old REALLY quick. I do also like hash browns, but not really health food cuz I like them fried crispy, smothered in salt and ketchup. I don't really like bacon, although I tolerate it (but again NOT HEALTH FOOD). I desperately dislike cereals, of all kinds. The idea of putting milk on food is just plain weird to me (but on occasion I like Cookie Crisp for dessert :) cuz cookies in milk is okay). I don't like fruit, I don't like pancakes, waffles I can handle on occasion but of course need to have powdered sugar, butter, and syrup on them (not so healthy either), sausage is gross, what else is there?
So I am at a loss for what to eat for breakfast. It must be easy and convenient, or something I can prepare ahead and reheat. Tasty is a must or I simply will skip and only drink coffee. I have issues with food being to dry. I love condiments of all sorts, but especially any type of dip :) So advice, ideas, help, thoughts?
you don't neccesarily have to eat 'breakfast' foods for breakfast. :) if you like chicken, have a chicken breast wrap or something similar. its just about getting your protein for the day. don't limit yourself because of the time of day.
ReplyDeleteI am the same about breakfast foods!! I do not likes eggs - but here is what I do like! You can make a fruit salad, Chobani low-fat greek yogurt - either the strawberry or raspberry... And there is a shake I make that is filling & tastes delicious! Even though it is bright green.....
ReplyDeleteIn a blender mix half a banana, half of an apple, a half cup of kale, & 1/4-1/2 cup of "Simply Apple" Juice. Slice the other half of a banana and other half of the apple (sliced) into a plastic bag in the freezer for the next morning -- they act as ice cubes! It may look a little interesting at first but trust me... it is delicious! & filling! Make sure it is well blended! Sometimes I will also add half of an avocado or even some greek yogurt. Hope this helps you with other healthy breakfast options!!
I was going to suggest yogurt, bagels, toast. I hope this helps. My kids like the strawberry cream cheese on their bagels and I'm sure there is a lite version out there somewhere. Good luck with your journey and come April (after baby) I might be hitting you up for some tips on eating healthier. I hope all is well!!
