Clean Eating Breakfast Ideas

• Egg  (2)  or  Tofu  Scramble.  Sauté  your  favorite  veggies  (peppers,  broccoli,  onions,  mushrooms,  etc.)  in  a  small  amount  of  coconut/olive  oil  or  organic  chicken/vegetable  stock.  Add  eggs  and  cook.  Serve  over  quinoa,  a  brown  or  wild  rice  or  on  a  sprouted  corn  tortilla.  Top  with  chopped  tomatoes,  avocado,  salsa  or  even  a  dollop  of  organic  Greek  style  yogurt  for  a  sour  cream  flavor.    

• Toast  and  Eggs.  Toast  1-­‐2  slices  of  sprouted  whole  grain  bread  (The  Healthy  Edge  loves  Ezekiel  bread)  and  add  1  Tbsp.  nut  butter.  Serve  with  1  scrambled  egg  for  a  protein  boost.  

• Parfaits.  Alternate  between  adding  a  layer  of  your  favorite  berries,  organic  Greek  style  or  plain  yogurt  and  chopped  nuts.  Garnish  the  top  with  granola.  

• Breakfast  Wraps.  Look  for  100%  whole  grain  or  sprouted  corn  tortilla  wraps  (Food  for  Life  is  a  great  brand).  You  can  also  use  lettuce  wraps.  Choose  your  favorite  fillings:  Scrambled  eggs,  tofu  grass  fed  beef,  avocado,  black  beans,  lettuce,  salsa,  hummus,  etc.  Prepare  a  whole  bunch  of  wraps  so  you  can  store  for  later  in  the  week.    Wrap  in  foil  (to  freeze)  or  store  in  a  container  in  the  refrigerator.  Note:  If  you  are  storing  these  for  more  than  a  day,  add  the  wet  ingredients  (tomatoes,  hummus,  salsa)  right  before  serving  to  prevent  a  mushy  shell.  

• Slow-­‐Cooked  Oatmeal.  Use  100%  whole  rolled  oats  or  steel  cut  oats  (if  you  have  the  time).  While  the  oatmeal  is  cooking,  add  cinnamon,  ½  banana  (ripe),  1  Tbsp.  nut  butter  and  raisins.  Mash  the  banana  and  stir  in  the  nut  butter  as  you  cook  it.  Add  chopped  nuts  or  seeds  (such  as  pumpkin  or  sunflower  seeds)  to  top  the  oatmeal.  

• Strawberry  and  Banana  Smoothie.  Add  all  these  ingredients  in  a  blender  and  blend  until  well  mixed.  1  banana,  5-­‐6  frozen  strawberries,  1  Tbsp.  ground  flaxseed,  ¼  cup  organic  Greek  style  yogurt,  1  heaping  handful  of  organic  spinach  and  8  oz.  water.    

• Banana  roll.  Use  a  whole  grain  wrap  and  add  evenly  spread  1  Tbsp.  of  nut  butter  on  the  wrap.  Place  a  banana  in  the  center  and  roll  it  up,  using  a  little  more  almond  butter  to  seal  the  wrap.  Cut  into  slices  or  just  eat  it  whole!

5 Minute or Less Breakfast Ideas:

• Crockpot  Oatmeal.  In  a  crockpot,  follow  the  instructions  for  your  oatmeal,  but  add  a  bit  more  water  than  what  is  called  for.  Add  apples,  cinnamon  and  nutmeg  (or  your  favorite  ingredients)  and  cook  on  low  overnight.  

• Hard  Boiled  Eggs.  If  you  like  this  option,  prepare  a  dozen  hard-­‐boiled  eggs  for  a  quick  breakfast  option.  Eat  at  least  two  and  add  a  quality  clean  carbohydrate  such  as  any  whole  piece  of  fruit.  Or  eat  1-­‐  2  pieces  of  sprouted  whole  grain  toast  with  a  little  coconut  oil  for  a  high  quality  clean  fat.    

• No  Cook  Oatmeal.  This  is  my  personal  go-­‐to  for  breakfast  along  with  a  green  smoothie.  Use  100%  rolled  oats  (uncooked).  In  a  glass  container,  add  oats  and  cover  with  just  enough  water  that  you  start  to  see  it  accumulate  at  the  top.  You  can  also  use  organic  milk  or  milk  substitute.  Add  frozen  blueberries  (or  choice  of  fruit)  and  chopped  nuts  or  seeds.  Let  mixture  sit  overnight  in  the  refrigerator.  Wake  up  in  the  morning,  grab  and  eat.  If  it’s  a  little  “dry”,  simply  add  more  liquid.  You  can  warm  up  if  you  prefer.  If  you  make  in  the  morning,  add  boiling  water  to  your  oatmeal  mixture  and  allow  to  soak  for  5-­‐10  minutes.  Add  homemade  granola  on  the  top  for  a  real  treat!  

• Green  Smoothies.  Great  recipe  coming  during  the  10  Day  Clean  Eating  Challenge.  • Clean  Cereal.  Use  leftover  brown  rice  or  quinoa  and  cover  with  organic  milk  or  milk  substitute  and  top  

with  cinnamon,  walnuts,  raisins  and  1  Tbsp.  honey.    

 

Remember, this is YOUR lifestyle and you choose to create it! From the list above, choose at least 2 options. Add these ingredients to your grocery list. Any of these ideas can be modified to fit your individual preferences or needs!
