I try to keep my breakfasts clean. What do I mean by "clean"? Well divided. If I'm going for fruit, I stick with fruit. If I'm going with toast or cereal, I stick to carbs. If I want an omelette, I keep it to just proteins. No mixing. Except with veggies. You can never go wrong with more veggies.
Here are three of the breakfasts I had this week. AKA, my three breakfast ideas:
1. So tropical!
So, this is what I'll have if I didn't do so well with my eating the day before. Pineapple helps clean out your system, and I'm sticking to veggies and fruits to keep my body eating light.
- Cranberry Juice.
- 2 Avocados with lemon, salt and two teaspoons of olive oil. (DONT BE AFRAID OF OLIVE OIL! IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!)
- Half a pineapple.
- 8 thin slices of cucumber.
2. Before-Gym Magic.
I usually work-out in the mornings, so a boost of energy and protein is a must! Coffee is BY FAR my favourite part of my breakfast, unfortunately, once I start I don't stop. So I try to have it only 3 days a week.
- Grounded coffee with skimmed milk and stevia.
- Half a red pepper sautéed with 5 medium size mushrooms and a tablespoon of margarine.
- 2 scrambled eggs.
3. Eat your greens!
As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan of avocado. We get THE best avocado in Chile almost all year around, so, it is super present in my diet. Cool fact: Avocado and Asparagus are high in glutathione, which is a detoxifying compound that helps break down bad compounds like carcinogens. So their yummy AND really good for you!
- Hibiscus Tea (Starbucks)
- Small batch of Asparagus sautéed with two teaspoons of olive oil and salt.
- 2 Avocado with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and lemon.
Hopefully you get some ideas from my healthy breakfasts, and it inspires you to live a healthier and happier lifestyle!
