When you start your day off right with good nutrition, your body’s metabolism gets a boost, burning more calories throughout the day. That’s a good thing when you are trying to lose weight. Add these healthy and weight-loss smart breakfast to your recipe box and see the pounds fall off.
Peanut butter or almond butter with whole grain toast, preferably Ezekiel brand bread. Fitness says the protein and heart-healthy unsaturated fat from the butters are digested slower than carbs.
Smoke salmon with a scrambled egg. The fat, says Fitness, fills you up, preventing an energy crash later on.
Oatmeal or oat-bran cereal with non-fat milk (even better: use unsweetened almond milk). Fitness says soluble fiber keeps blood sugar levels stable.
- 8 oz. of Kefir yogurt blended with a banana and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.
- 1 cup of baby spinach blended with 8 oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1 teaspoon honey.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats with 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, 1 banana cut up, agave syrup or honey to taste, cinnamon to taste.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats with 1 cup skim or soy milk, 2 dates, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon honey. Bring milk and oats to a boil. Simmer and stir for 5 minutes. Add dates, vanilla and honey.
