This is a challenge set forth to me by my inner doctor. It seems like people are really struggle with changing their food because they are at a loss for ideas for what to eat without venturing into a cookbook everyday. The other piece is that we feel like we have to get every healthy item in our bodies everyday. Maybe it would be easier to think of getting in good stuff in total every 3 to 4 days. Our bodies don't process everything in a 24 hour period. Just get a good variety over a week or so and you will be good to go.
Ten Breakfasts:
- Butternut squash soup: They sell it now in quart containers, organic.
- Brown rice with raisons and chopped almonds: Left over rice cooked in a little milk or water, add raisons and almonds.
- Scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese: Just stir in spinach at the end.
- Turkey and cheese: I just eat with my hands in the car. Who needs bread?
- Plain, non-fat yogurt with a teaspoon of all fruit: Still less sugar than sugary yogurt.
- Chicken sauteed with red onions and sliced tart apples (peeled): Just cook all in a bit of olive oil.
- Potato pancakes with cooked apples and a fried egg: A weekend special with left-over mashed potatoes.
- Cooked prunes with almonds: Cook prunes and almonds in a bit of water. It sounds gross but it is really good.
- Mashed avacado with salt and lime.
- The not-too-sweet smoothie. Blend frozen peaches and berries, add one serving non-fat yogurt or a little creme fraiche.
This post is also known as "If I'm not having milk, what will I put on my cereal?" In other words, milk and cereal are not the greatest of breakfast choices, especially everyday. Variety is good. Even in the morning.
