Healthy Breakfast Recipes

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Not just for you, but especially for the kiddos!  Eating a healthy breakfast can be done in little amount of time and can also be done on a budget.  Here are three of my favorite healthy breakfast recipes in my video but also some other favorites of my family:

1) Yogurt Parfait.  berry yogurt parfait

Get creative with your favorite fruit, berries, granola, nuts or seeds to UMPH up the nutrition.  Have fun with fancy glasses!

Ingredients:
1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup fresh strawberry slices
¼ cup fresh blueberries
½ tsp. raw honey

Preparation:
Place 1/3 yogurt in a tall glass. Top with 1/3 strawberries and 1/3 blueberries. Repeat layers twice. Drizzle with honey.

2) Scrambled Eggs.

Have fun or keep it simple… eggs are nutrition, quick and give your body fuel for a long busy day.  Scramble alone or mix in cheese, veggies or layer on an egg sandwich.

pancakes3) Healthy Pancakes.

I make my kids yummy pancakes but sneak in Whole Foods with Shakeology and make them Super Healthy! They don’t know the difference! I even make the boys initials (Pierce, Peyton & friend Walker) which they LOVED it!!!

Ingredients:

Heart Smart Bisquick- Double the batch to freeze leftover
Almond milk
Vanilla Shakeology or your favorite vanilla protein powder (make sure it is natural, without aspartame and other harmful ingredients)

egg whites- if it calls for 1 whole egg, I replace w 3 egg whites to double the protein. (2 = 5 egg whites)

Preparation:
Mix all ingredients per package directions.  If too thick, add liquid.  Cook accordingly.  Serve with fresh fruit, organic or low sugar syrup and a smile, knowing you are serving Healthy Pancakes!
