Breakfast is Boring!

Or is it? Its a fact that most of us like to eat the same breakfast everyday or at least 3 times a week. The reasons why we don't change our routine are because we are use to what we eat, not sure what else to eat or too busy to even think about changing what to eat.

To be honest, its not the end of the world, if you are eating the same meal everyday for breakfast. The question is what are you eating, if anything at all.

The number rule to weight loss and increased energy is BREAKFAST!! If you ask someone who is trying to lose weight or has no energy, this is a big player in the reasons why weight is not shifting and tiredness.

Have you ever head the saying - "eat like a king at breakfast, a queen at lunch and a porper at dinner". This is the secret to wellbeing and great health.

I hear you say "I'm not hungry in the morning" - Well, I am saying "Cut back on your dinner and late night snacking"!

Personally, as you know, I love my food and can eat more than my husband. My breakfast always includes a hot lemon water, a green tea, 2 slices of toast, omelette and a green smoothie. If I am rushed for time, I will skip the omelette and have avocado on toast. My other back up plan is to add more to the smoothie if I am skidding out the door.

Here are some ideas to get you started and ready for breakfast:

- Think about what you enjoy ..... keep it clean and real food only
- Get rid of the sugary cereals - they are doing nothing for you
- Stock up on eggs, wholemeal/sourdough/gluten free bread, fresh tomatoes, avocadoes, baby spinach, mushrooms, apples, celery and bananas
- Prep the night before - have everything ready to go for the morning
- Make it a priority - you have time to check facebook and your emails, so replace this time with making a 5 minute breakfast that will sustain you till lunch

5 Minute Breakfast Ideas
- 2 Egg Omelette, whisk and pour into hot frypan, once cooking add handful of mushrooms, baby spinach and diced tomatoes. Flip over one half to finish cooking, serve with bread
- Green Goddess Smoothie - Spinach, kale, avo, apple, celery and coconut water
- Greek Yoghurt and chopped fruit. Add nuts for protein
- Baked Beans on Toast - you can make your own beans with cannellini beans, tomato paste, smoked paprika and cumin - delicious
- Toast with tahini, sliced banana and raw honey
- Delicious coconut pudding with chia seeds (photo above). In a bowl, add 1 can coconut milk and 1/2 cup chia seeds. Pour into small bowls and chill overnight. Delicious and filling!!

Good luck with your breakfast plans tomorrow - just test it out and see if it works!
