I know the feeling of dragging in the morning, barely getting by on a cup of coffee and being starvingggg by mid-morning. It’s a vicious cycle that leads to huge sugar cravings + energy crashes. If you are repeating that cycle on a weekly (or daily basis) it’s a recipe for feeling like crap and quick weight gain.
Need some healthy breakfast ideas?? Here are 5 simple PFF (protein-fat-fiber) breakfast ideas for busy moms!
Why PFF?? HIgh protein + fiber with some healthy fats = the perfect combo to keep you satisfied, and keep energy levels up without a crash.
PFF Oatmeal. Use 1/2 c quick oats. Add water + 1/2 cup egg whites and cook like normal. Mix in whatever combo of toppings you like (berries, banana, peanut butter, etc. ) Add 1-2 T chia seeds for extra fiber.
PFF smoothie. A protein shake that will keep you satisfied with extra fiber (from greens and fruit) plus some healthy fats. Use milk of choice, add in protein powder, blend with 1/2c fruit and a large handful of greens (like spinach or baby kale)
Avocado toast. Make it PFF by adding a fruit egg + some egg whites or cottage cheese. Use whole grain bread and add a side fo berries for even more fiber
Egg scramble. Make it PFF by adding 2 eggs, 1/2c egg whites to some sauteed veggies. Sprinkle with cheese.
Pancakes. Make it PFF by using kodiak cakes. Skip the syrup and top with greek yogurt, peanut butter, and fruit.
