Not So Boring Breakfast Ideas

Are you not a breakfast person, or just plain bored of breakfast? Instead of skipping out on breakfast or making an unhealthy decision, why not think outside the box and try something new?

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day because it breaks the fast that your body has been in while asleep, provides you with the nutrients to start your day, and helps with maintaining a healthy metabolism. It’s been known that people who eat breakfast are less likely to make a poor decision later on from being starved from lack of food.

Below are three fun and healthy recipes that you can try for next time you are in a breakfast slump!

Apple Protein Breakfast Cookie

Who doesn't like cookies? And having a cookie for breakfast sounds pretty good to me! I just came up with this recipe last night wanting something fun for breakfast, and since these cookies are so low in calories, 2 would be a perfect amount!

Ingredients:
1 cup oats
50g coconut flour
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 egg
3/4 cup egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
2 scoops stevia
Cinnamon as much as you like
1 chopped apple

Preheat oven to 325F. Mix all dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Add apple last and mix. Portion out 6 servings and mash together a big flat cookie and place on a greased lined cookie sheet. Bake for approximately 15 minutes.

Chunky Monkey Protein Pudding

I came up with this fun and delicious idea after a hard workout. It was such a delicious post workout snack. Why not have it first thing?

Ingredients:
1/2 a banana
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
2 tbsp. cocoa powder
3-4 scoops stevia powder
1 tsp honey

Blend the banana and cottage cheese in a magic bullet or with a Braun hand mixer. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend well. Pour in a dish and top with some banana slices. Serve immediately.

Creamy Chocolate Chia Oats

This is a super easy and nutritious recipe that you can whip up before bed and have ready for you right when you get up in the morning. There really is no excuse for not having a healthy and tasty breakfast in the morning. This recipe is full of healthy protein, carbs, and fats to keep you satisfied during your busy morning.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup egg whites
1/4 cup water
1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tbsp. cocoa powder
2-3 scoops stevia
1 scoop glutamine
1 tbsp. chia seeds

In a bowl mix together all ingredients except chia seeds until well mixed. Add the chia seeds and mix through. Leave it in the fridge overnight. In the morning you will have thick and delicious pudding like oatmeal. Top with some pumpkin seeds or nuts.
