6 Quick And Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Two-Ingredient Banana Pancakes

 

Two-ingredient banana pancakes are a very quick and healthy alternative to the original. They have the same texture as regular pancakes, but you can definitely taste the banana so if you’re not a big fan of bananas you may want to skip this one.

Serving Size: 1-2

Time: 10 minutes

Step 1: Using a blender, mix 2 eggs with one banana. These are your two main ingredients. If you want to add a bit more flavor or fluff, try adding a spoonful of any of the following to the mix:

 

• Oats
• Greek yogurt
• Honey
• Cacao
• Cinnamon
• Almond butter
• Almond Milk
• Peanut butter

 

Step 2: Once everything is blended, pour your mix into a bowl or cup.

Step 3: Add only a spoonful of the mix to your pan for each pancake because they will expand to at least three times the size

Step 4: Cook on medium for a few minutes until the edges look a little dark, then flip!

Step 5: Top with berries, fruit, cinnamon, yogurt, honey, jam, granola, nuts or anything else you want and enjoy guilt-free! You can also buy all natural (nothing added) maple syrup and add a spoonful of that too!

Acai/Smoothie Bowls

 

Smoothie bowls taste amazing and are so filling when you add the right ingredients. I will be providing my own recipe, but there are many other ways to make smoothie bowls! Basically just make your favorite kind of smoothie and then add granola, berries, nuts, seeds and anything else you like.

Serving size: 2

Time: 5 minutes

 

 

Step 1: Using a blender, mix the following:

 

• 1 package of Acai (can be bought at whole foods or ordered online)
• A handful of blueberries
• 3 large strawberries
• 1 small-medium size banana
• 1 tablespoon all natural peanut butter.
• 2-3 ice cubes

 

Step 2: Pour smoothie into a bowl and top with:

 

• Granola
• Chia Seeds
• Hemp seeds
• Flax seeds
• Pecans
• Walnuts
• Berries
• Cacao Nibs

 

Step 3: ENJOY

Greek Yogurt with honey, berries and walnuts

 

When you get the right kind of greek yogurt, it is full of protein. Read the ingredients on the back of the label to make sure there is no artificial sugar, syrup or other junk added!

 

 

 

 

 

Banana Sushi

 

Ingredients:

 

• 1 banana
• Your choice of nut butter
• Granola
• Honey (Optional)

 

Peel your banana and spread a medium layer of nut butter around it evenly (I chose peanut butter). Then pour granola on a plate and roll the banana in it.

From here you can either slice the banana into 6-8 pieces and enjoy, or you can wrap it in tinfoil and let it sit in the fridge for a bit to harden and taste more like a cold treat when you take it out to eat later.

You can also try this same technique with Nutella or other spreads!

Avocado Toast

 

Avocado toast is an obvious one. 

Spread cream cheese, goat cheese, or any other cheese of your choice on your toast. 

Put some avocado in a ziplock bag and mash it with your hands. Then cut a tiny hole at a bottom corner of the bag and squeeze the avocado out and onto the toast.

Cut up some onions, tomatoes and peppers to put on top, or sprinkle some spices, salt and garlic. 

 

Top it off with a fried egg or egg of any style!

Homemade Granola bars

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mix the following ingredients in a food processor:

 

• Raw Oats
• Agave
• Almond Butter
• Carob Chips
• Chia Seeds
• Flax Seeds
• Chocolate protein powder

 

Then refrigerate for 10 minutes

Enjoy any of these wonderful and healthy ideas guilt free!
