It's not news that a big healthy breakfast benefits us in multiple ways. It gives us energy, keeps up our metabolism, helps us stay satisfied all day, and much more! Here are some of my tips!
1. SALAD! Salad is not just a side or main dish for lunch and dinner. I love going out for brunch and getting a salad with my eggs or omelet. No reason to not extend that option to breakfast itself! Add some greens, tomatoes and cucumbers for a light, refreshing medley on your plate. DRESSING TIP: Balsamic dressings are great with egg dishes... but if you like creamier dressings opt for one with a Yogurt base. It tastes MUCH better than low-fat creamy dressings (nasty stuff!). Marie's makes some great options.
2. FLATTEN THAT BAGEL! I'm a New Yorker, and bagels are a staple. But one too many and you turn into one! Either get a flat bread, or hollow out a regular bagel by scooping out the bready part, or try these bagel flats from Pepperidge Farm!
3. FIND THE RIGHT SPREAD! Nothing beats butter and cream cheese, I agree. And what really doesn't beat it is fake butter and fat free cream cheese. If you like your toast or bagel flat in the morning to have a creamy spread, make an egg with the yolk still runny! It's the perfect creamy spread to dip your toast in without adding another ingredient. Full of protein and vitamins!
Have a great breakfast!
