After getting such a nice response to my Filling and Healthy Weekend blog post I thought I'd do something of a similar fashion, so I present to you, 5 Filling and Healthy breakfast ideas. I hope you find it helpful.
The Big Breakfast
If go big or go home is your motto you need to try this. I like to grill my bacon medallions and serve with scrambled egg (usually a two egger) some beans and a Warbie thin. You could also add grilled mushrooms and tomatoes or try dry frying your egg or poaching it instead. All this and 0 propoints on Filling and Healthy.
The One for Sweet Tooths
Ladies and gentlemen, if sweet is more your thing, allow me to introduce to you French Toast Crumpets. I simply mix one egg with a pinch of nutmeg, a dash of vanilla extract and tiny amount of brown sugar (less than 3g.) Then heat up a frying pan, spray with fry light and cook on both sides until slightly crispy. I top mine with fruit and 1 tbsp of maple syrup for a point, but you could switch the maple syrup with a tsp of Sweet Freedom to make it 0pp on F&H.
The Grab and Go
If you don't have time in the morning and just need something you can quickly grab, may I suggest you take 15 mins the night before to make yourself some baked oats. I promise you, you won't regret it. The recipe for my favourite ones can be found here, however depending on what you put in yours depends on the propoints.
The One for People Who Don't 'do' breakfast
I know some
crazy
people don't actually like breakfast, however it really is the most important meal of the day, so may I suggest to you a smoothie. If this is all you're going to be having, why not try adding a cup of oats and some yogurt into your smoothie to give you some extra energy. It'll still be 0pp but will keep you going for longer.
The Maccies Fakeaway
Not to toot my own trumpet, but I've definitely saved the best till last. Forget going and grabbing a breakfast muffin, make your own. For this I grab some extra lean pork mince, mix it together with some grated onion, mixed herbs and seasoning and them flatten into a burger shape and cook in a griddle pan. I then add my cooked bacon medallions and a 20g of low 50% cheese and place it in a warbie thin. Heaven. You could omit the cheese to make it 0pp on F&H or else it would be 1pp. You could also add a dry fried egg to it, if you're into that sort of thing. Just FYI a Sausage and Egg McMuffin from McDonalds will cost you 12pp.
I hope this post has given you some ideas for how to make a F&H breakfast, or just given you some new breakfast ideas. I'd love to hear your favourite breakfasts too.
