Quick-Start Delicious Healthy Food Breakfast Menu Blueberry Muffins:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all the following ingredients together in a mixing bowl:

1 and a half cups wheat flour, 3/4 cup flaxseed meal, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons cinnamon (good for your healthy heart), 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon ginger (good for your immune system), and 2 medium-sized shredded apples.  Mix well.

Then, mix in 1 egg, 3/4 cup nonfat milk, 2 egg whites (click here to see video on making egg whites and scroll down the page to see the video), 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.

You’ll also need a muffin tin (and the little paper muffin cups if you want).

Makes about 15 muffins – enjoy with your healthy fitness oriented neighbors and family 🙂

Almond Oatmeal Great Start Recipe:

I use a couple of packets of instant breakfast – my favorite is maple and brown sugar flavor (Grocery stores have sugar free versions).

Follow the instructions on the package to cook.

Add 2 tablespoons of dried cranberries for good recovery, protective antioxidants

Add 2 tablespoons of almond butter for nutritious protein and healthy fat

top with almond milk to your preference, stir and enjoy this very healthy breakfast.  The oatmeal is a wonderful source of fiber as well.

Great Tasting Healthy Pancakes:

Use a medium sized bowl and mix in 2 eggs – lightly beaten with 1/4 cup canola oil and 2 cups of low-fat milk.

Then, stir in 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 1/2 cup of wheat germ and 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour – mix until blended well.

Set aside bowl, and heat up a lightly oiled pancake griddle or frying pan with medium-high heat.

Pour the batter onto the griddle or in the pan (the amount can vary on the size of pancakes you want – try the triple scoop Mickey Mouse shape if you have kids :))

Cook until brown on both sides, turning once.  Enjoy with low fat yogurt, fresh fruit, honey, molasses or a small amount of real maple syrup.  Yum!

** Definitely avoid artificial “maple syrup” that contains corn syrup and other processed sugars.  This yummy breakfast provides lots of energy for a vibrant day with fiber to keep your digestion strong and healthy.

Healthy Breakfast Tortilla Roll-Ups:

This recipe has some spice to kick up your metabolism, lots of protein, and has the flavor of huevos rancheros without all the fat and calories.  Muy Bien!  Vamanos 🙂

Prep 1/2 green bell pepper with the seeds removed and chopped.  Slice three scallions.  (*Note – it’s a great idea to wash your vegetables thoroughly – especially if they’re not organic – to get rid of any residual pesticides, chemicals or fertilizer)  Chop up one plum tomato, shred 1/2 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, chop 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro.

Spray a large nonstick frying pan with nonstick vegetable oil and heat up the pan over medium to medium-high heat.

Add the chopped bell pepper and cook until tender on the outside and crisp on the inside.  Add the scallions and tomato and saute until softened – about one minute.  Remove the vegetables to a side dish.

Beat 4 eggs, 4 egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce in a medium sized bowl.

Spray more non-stick vegetable oil in the pan and add the egg mixture to the vegetables and stir and cook until the eggs are no longer runny or shiny.  Add the vegetables back into the egg mixture and stir.

Heat 4 corn tortillas as you like, and fill with eggs, vegetables and then top with cilantro and cheeze.  Add more hot chile sauce to taste.

Enjoy this delicious healthy breakfast menu with some cold orange juice and close family and friends.
