I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
But in case I do – breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
In other news, a question I get asked a lot is “What does a Nutritionist eat for breakfast?”
I eat a lot of different things. As a busy mom of 3 crazy boys and a business owner, I like to make sure it’s fast, nutritious and kid-friendly.
Breakfast Foods I Love (with a side of fruit)
- Greek yogurt and hemp hearts.
- Veggie omelet (hold the cheese!).
- Homemade breakfast bar … slathered in unsalted peanut butter, possibly … I’ll never tell.
- Oatmeal with chia seeds and cinnamon
- Ezekial bread with mashed avocado and cottage cheese
- Homemade granola with unsweetened almond milk.
- Poached eggs and a whole grain English muffin
- Yogurt, fruit and flaxseed smoothie
- Banana and unsalted almond butter in a whole grain wrap
- Overnight Oats (like you wouldn’t believe)
My favourite go-to has to be overnight oats. They are fast to make (I’m talking 2 minutes, people!), fill you up with their awesome fiber and protein content, and are very versatile.
I make them in individual mason jars so my kids can customize their own with the fruits they love, and get their breakfast independently in the morning.
It also gives all of us a great start to our day by firing up our metabolisms, giving us a boost of energy and sustenance for the day, and filling us with fiber and a good dose of nutrients.
