Staying healthy and active is my priority during this pregnancy, and I've reaped so many benefits from it! These endorphins are fabulous, plus my body has felt great through this pregnancy so far. To read more about some ways I'm staying fit and active check out my post here.
Today I wanted to share with you some ideas for my absolute favorite meal of the day: Breakfast!
Just in case you were wondering here are three things you must know about me:
1. I have to eat a banana everyday.
2. In the mornings I wake up with a growling tummy.
3. I treasure the mornings, especially breakfast, and will wake up early in order to sit down and eat breakfast.
Does anyone else wake up hungry? And no, it's not pregnancy related. Every morning I truly look forward to making my breakfast. You can call it my thing. It's my self-time, and fuels my soul. So it is important that I fuel my body for a busy day!
My quick go-to breakfast is a smoothie, always with spinach or kale. My usual concoction includes 1 c. almond milk, a frozen banana, frozen mango, ground flaxseed, and either protein powder or greek yogurt. Lately, I have been eating a slice of gluten free toast with my smoothie as well to help keep me full.
I'm sure you're wondering what is underneath that egg! This would be a bowl of leftover quinoa, spinach, an egg, and guacamole. I definitely crave eggs, especially when they're a bit runny. Yes please! This is power packed with protein and delicious!
Lately I've been consistently making toast with avocado, with two eggs on top, add some salt and pepper and I am ready to bring on the day! This is quick, easy, and so delicious. It also keeps me full for a good three hours.
Oatmeal comes and goes. It is a beautiful staple, especially when mixed with bananas and topped with a spoonful of almond butter! Lately it has just been too hot to consider eating my oats.
What is your go-to breakfast???
you are having what i would consider a healthier version of a japanese breakfast, instead of quinoa it is rice but they do the soft boiled egg put it on top of the rice and then break the yolk then they usually sprinkle a japanese fish flavoring it is delish! and you are making this pregnant woman suddenly hungry :-)
