Avocado Toast
This is the easiest recipe to pull together, but it is far from boring!
The Basic Recipe: Start with good bread and toast it. Place avocado slices on the toast and mush it with a fork. Top it with a little drizzle of olive out and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Topping Ideas:
squeeze of lemon juice
everything bagel seasoning
diced tomatoes
sliced radishes
chopped red onion
sprouts
smoked salmon
feta cheese
capers
fresh herbs
boiled egg, sliced or crumbled
fried egg
Overnight Oats
You can watch me make overnight oats HERE and HERE. I love to make oats in mason jars, so I have individual servings ready to eat on the go. But you can also make a large batch in a covered bowl to scoop up and add to a yogurt parfait.
The Basic Recipe: Combine equal amounts of oatmeal and your favorite milk. 1/2 cup of each makes a single serving. Combine the oats and milk, then add in other tasty treats.
Add-In Ideas:
fresh fruit
dried fruit
nuts
yogurt
chia seeds
canned pumpkin
nut butter
maple syrup
cinnamon
cocoa powder
Quiche Muffins
While I love these as a healthy, on-the-go breakfast, they also make a delicious protein-filled snack.
The Basic Recipe: For 6 muffins, finely chop 1/2-3/4 cup veggies and divide into 6 well-greased muffin tin wells. In a bowl combine 5 eggs, 1 1/2 TBSP flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, a small clove of garlic minced, and a little salt and pepper. Divide the egg mixture between the 6 muffin tin wells. Bake at 350 for about 22 minutes. This recipe can easily be doubled.
Veggie and Other Add-In Ideas:
onion
bell pepper
spicy peppers
broccoli
cauliflower
sauteed mushrooms (sauté first to remove water from the mushrooms)
sundried tomatoes
fresh herbs
garlic powder
cheese
(avoid watery veggies like tomatoes and zucchini, unless you cook them first)
Veggie Scramble
This is a very veggie-forward breakfast. If you trying to increase your veggie intake, give this one a try.
The Basic Recipe: For each serving, start with 1+ cup of veggies and 1-2 eggs. Sauté the veggies until tender, add in a little salt and pepper, then break the egg into veggies and stir around until eggs are done to your liking. Serve with toast.
Add-In Ideas:
onion
bell pepper
spinach
zucchini
mushrooms
garlic
spicy pepper
fresh herbs
feta cheese
olives
Yogurt Parfait
This one is so yummy, it could substitute as dessert! A parfait looks beautiful layered into a tall, clear glass; but tastes equally as good when ingredients are just plopped into a bowl. Learn to make your own yogurt HERE.
The Basic Recipe: All you need is yogurt and something to layer in. You can make this as simple or as complicated as you want.
Layer Ideas:
cooked (or overnight) oatmeal
mixed berries
chopped apples or other fruit
apple sauce
cinnamon
elderberry syrup
granola
pie filling
lemon curd
crushed cookies
