Easy Healthy Two-Ingredient Breakfast Ideas
Toaster Waffles + Breaded Chicken Patty = Chick’n & Waffle ‘Wich
Move over, egg-patty b-fast sammies! Grab a couple toaster waffles (bonus points if they’re flavored), and heat up a frozen breaded-chicken patty (or meatless swap) while they toast. Sandwich them together, and prepare for delicious satisfaction. Suggested additions: sugar-free syrup or hot sauce!Cantaloupe + Cottage Cheese = Retro Breakfast Bowl
Since cottage cheese is having a comeback, why not also bring back this classic pairing? Scoop 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese into half a cantaloupe—it’ll have around 180 calories and 15g protein! It’s great when your food can double as a bowl. If you like, add some sweetener, cinnamon, nuts, and/or sugar-free syrup!Old-Fashioned Oats + Protein Powder = Overnight Proats
Make sweet no-cook overnight oatmeal with protein! Mix 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, 2 tbsp. flavored protein powder (with about 100 calories per serving), and 3/4 cup water. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, until oats are soft. Roughly 200 calories total with 12.5g protein! There are tons of tasty, flavored powders out there, so the options are endless. Layer with fruit for added goodness.Store-Bought Saucy Protein + Egg Substitute = Easy-Breezy Omelette
Breakfast for dinner is great, but how about dinner for breakfast? We’re fans of ready-to-eat meal starters consisting of sauced & seasoned proteins, like the refrigerated entrées from Kevin’s Natural Foods and the seasoned pouches in the StarKist Creations line. Give them a go as omelette fillings! Cook up around 3/4 cup (about 6 large) egg whites or liquid egg substitute in a skillet, and wrap it around a serving of your saucy protein of choice. Chances are, it’ll total under 250 calories.Frozen Fruit Blend + Flavored Greek Yogurt = Smoothie Supreme
Some people love to overcomplicate their smoothies, but not us. Work smarter, not harder! Select a premixed frozen fruit blend at the store: tropical, triple berry… There are even special mixes with veggies. Blend about 1 1/2 cups of the fruit with a 5.3-oz. container of plain fat-free Greek yogurt in whatever flavor you like, adding water and ice as needed to get your desired consistency. It’ll come in at around 200 calories and 17.5g protein. Score!Old-Fashioned Oats + Banana = Oaties
These are cookies you can eat for breakfast! Thoroughly mix 1 cup (about 2 medium) mashed extra-ripe bananas with 1 cup old-fashioned oats, plus 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/8 tsp. salt, and 1/2 cup water. (We don’t count basic seasonings and water in our ingredient totals.) Form into 12 rounds on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake at 350ºF for 16–18 minutes. Have six for about 250 calories—it’s a perfect on-the-go option!Chew on this:
It’s February 19th, National Chocolate Mint Day, so a Chocolate Mint Chip IQBAR should certainly be in your future…
