3 High Protein Brekkie Plates
I believe that the secret to getting through any morning is a great breakfast that leaves your body feeling nourished and satisfied.
When most of us think about breakfast, we think mandazi, sausages, ham, bread etc. But it’s possible to have healthy, nutrient dense options that keep you feeling energized and full throughout the day. Saturated fats found in processed foods such as sausages, bacon are discouraged especially in the first hour after waking up to allow your liver to complete the detoxification process. I explain why in this post.
While breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, many of us still struggle to figure out what to have. I wanted to share with you 3 easy options that can supplement your mornings and ensure you have all your macronutrients.
Mushroom Hummus Toasties
I love mushrooms and chickpeas have become a staple in my pantry; so you know this quick brekkie plate had to make an appearance. Mushrooms are a low calorie, high protein source perfect for any post workout meal and anyone looking to fill up on their morning macros.
- homemade hummus
- mushrooms
- soy sauce
- chili oil
- chives
- wholegrain brown bread
- black pepper and salt to taste
Loaded Eggs
Eggs need no introduction. Although vilified for their high cholesterol, eggs remain an affordable and readily available source of protein.
- organic eggs
- broccoli
- colored peppers
- onions
- chives
- avocado
Greek Yogurt Bowl
Greek yoghurt is a great source of protein and is also high in probiotics essential for gut health. Almonds are also jam packed with proteins. A study by Harvard Nutrition states that about 23 almonds contain 6 grams of protein. Almonds have been suggested to reduce heart disease risk by lowering cholesterol, and exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
