Nutty Fruit Breakfast
Many people ask me, what else can I eat for breakfast that’s healthy besides eggs?.. Well, here’s my go to second breakie option that keeps my gut happy and me satiated until lunch rolls around.
Nutty FruitIngredients:
– fruit of choice (I like berries, apples, peaches, banana, or a combo. And I try to get what’s in season if I can).
– *raw almond butter
– optional cinnamon or fresh mint
– optional chopped walnuts, flax meal, chia seeds (chia seeds will especially keep you full and provide much needed omega 3s)
Put the chopped fruit with dollops of almond butter in a bowl. Depending on your mood, sprinkle with cinnamon for a little extra spice, or chopped mint if you need to cool off in the summer.
If you really need extra sweetness, pour a little honey on it, sugar!
For those who do well with dairy, a full fat yogurt can replace your almond butter… I like Red Hill Farm’s goat yogurt or Brown Cow’s “cream on top” yogurt. You want to get full fat (not low fat or fat free) because there will be less sugar and chemical additives in your yogurt, and thus better for your body. And getting a plain yogurt and adding honey (if you want it sweeter) is much better than getting the flavored yogurt with added sugar.
Yum!
*Raw almond butter because roasted almond butter can produce some trans fat from heating the nuts (and their oil) at high temps.
This is a good idea that would really help most specially those who are in a diet. Eating nutritious foods will make you healthy and fit.
