Last night over on instagram.com/fabsgetsfit I talked about breakfast.
If you would have asked me a few months ago what I had for breakfast I’d proudly say “A bowl of Oreo-Os, or maybe 2 bowls”. To understand why I was proud, you have to know that I put a lot of stock into the whole idea that to be healthy you had to eat breakfast because ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day’ duh.
But here is where I became quite a bit naive. I thought that any breakfast was good enough and I could not be more wrong. Breakfast is what jump starts your day, it sets a precedent for the rest of your day. Eat a nice, unfulfilling bowl of sugary cereal? You’re going to feel s l u g g i s h allllll day long I promise you.
It was a ridiculous, foreign thought to me that breakfast was supposed to be the most nutritious, biggest meal of the day (I mean obviously steak is way bigger and better than a plate of eggs or oatmeal right?). I just didn’t get the concept that you get out of your body what you put into your body. And once I grasped that idea, my world was rocked.
My mornings no longer consist of a heaping bowl of sugary (albeit delicious) Oreo’O’s, or any cereal for that matter. It’s filled with all parts nutritious but absolutely DELICIOUS food. It took me a while to get there and my newfound love for breakfast is ever-evolving but here’s my biggest piece of advice *I’m no expert but I love food and this helps* add a little color to your breakfast. Whether that be fruit, avocado, eggs, a smoothie- color will make you happy and will make you want to eat good food!
My typical breakfast now always includes some oatmeal- nothing fancy- just old fashioned oats with 1/2 cup of milk and a dash (I mean the tiniest pinch of salt) and a smoothie- 8 frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup of non-fat plain greek yogurt, 1 whole banana, some plain original almond milk (more or less depending on if I want it to be more frozen or not!) and a drizzle of honey.
Sometimes, like today, I up my breakfast game.
The star of today’s breakfast show: Whipped Goat Cheese Toast topped with a {savory} few slice of avocado or some |sweet| strawberries, blackberries (and you guessed it) a drizzle of honey! Today I was feeling a little of both so I cut my toast in half and did just that!
If you have trouble finding whipped goat cheese like I did, have no fear. Grab 1 oz of softened goat cheese, 1/4 cup of non-fat plain greek yogurt, 1 TBS honey, 1/2 TBS extra virgin olive oil. Put this all in your small food processor and blend until whipped about a minute! Then spread it on your toast and top with your favorites!
Then I medium-boiled some eggs, made some oatmeal and chowed down.
Learning to love food starts with true, pure, nutritious meals and this is definitely a great place to start!
