Savory Breakfast Help

dtobot

Food is a passion for me. I still let myself enjoy foods, but my goal is to be more mindful of portions and remember to eat healthier when I prepare my own food.

I tend to like more salty foods for breakfast than sweet. What are some healthy recipes you make for breakfast during the week?

All I can think of is egg white scrambles and omelets or tofu scrabbles. Help a foodie girl out...:ohwell:

jimmy dean makes light sandwhiches and stuff that are gooood. breakfast is awesome and theres nothin better than a sausage egg and cheese bagel..so my favorite is the whole wheat bagel with egg white cheese and turkey sausage. Microwaves in like 2 mins, great on the go.

If I have time on weekends and stuff you can do like a breakfast taco thing with scrambled egg sub/ egg whites, red. fat cheese, veg, low carb tortilla

Please ILoveMyPitBull, don't take offense, but I don't recommend the prepackaged sandwiches like Jimmy Dean. They are full of preservatives and sodium. Instead, remake your own from scratch! You could even precook your eggs and bacon in a muffin pans for individual sandwich sizes that you can quickly reheat during the week. Saw that time saving idea on Pinterest.

Lately I've been eating an egg white breakfast burrito.
1/3 cup egg whites
1 tablespoon green verde salsa (or whatever salsa you prefer)
2 oz Mild cheddar cheese
wrap it all up in a whole wheat tortilla (I use half)
approx 140 calories (220 if using whole tortilla)

I douse mine in Cholula (because I LOVE Cholula)

Pair this with a nice piece of fruit, say a grapefruit, (even a piece of turkey bacon or two) and you have yourself a low-cal, delicious and nutritious breakfast that only takes a few minutes to make. Really, egg whites cook in like 2 minutes in a hot pan.

Good luck!

Great idea...I forgot about spicing my egg whites up with a bit of homemade salsas. I love cooking so I have no problem making things from scratch. My problem has been finding savory breakfast foods that are not eggs.

Thanks for giving me some more ideas pixiechick.

Not eggs... ever make yourself a smoothie? I use one Greek yogurt, frozen berries, spinach (you can't even taste it), a scoop of Flax Seed and then ice/water/juice/water you need to make it "smoothie" consistency. Just don't add sugary juices. If you need to sweeten it up use a little honey.

I throw it in a big cup with a straw and drink it on my way to work.

I've started posting some recipes on my blog page also. I haven't added any breakfast yet, but feel free to follow along
