You wake up, and want a meal, or simply even a snack. The fridge is full, but the contents are in pieces: damn. No prepared food: double damn. But you go to the internet and see this article…and you’re in luck! Scott’s here to help with some simple, healthy breakfast meals, morning snacks just for you:
The first idea is that if you have some oatmeal either in packets or steel cut. If you have the steel cut, it only takes some boiled water or a microwave plus some water. With the steel cut and boiled water, the process is a little bit lengthier, where I recommend a more in-depth way of doing it in about 20-30 minutes with a boil and then simmer (here).
Instant oatmeal is a little easier, as it takes water and the contents of the packets, which usually come with some extra sugar to sweeten the meal a bit more. Oatmeal is great and fibre-based breakfast for the morning.
Whatever means by which you take those in after cooking, they all have the same nutritional value – apart from the added sugar in the instant oatmeal – because they come from the same source. You can always add some sugar or honey if you want to sweeten the oatmeal some more, but, as with butter, it is extra calories and will be accounted for later either in the waistline or the diminishment of the total caloric allowance for the rest of the day.
Another healthy meal is not going to be a salad because this – granted a healthy meal but – not a quick morning meal. If you have the time, then the world is your oyster with the appropriate ingredients for a salad. The next meal on the docket would be a Seinfeldian trope: a bowl of cereal.
No, not you Fruit Loops, I am looking to the fortified and fibre-based cereals that have the healthy or good fats and the fibre content to make the meal worthwhile because, bear in mind, the more fibre and protein in a meal then the longer that you will feel full.
So, something like a bowl of Fibre One Original, Kashi Honey Puffs, or Kellogg Special K Protein, and others. Each of these can provide nutrition, whether vitamins and minerals, protein, or fibre, and can keep you going well into the later morning and early afternoon – just add a cup of Joe, or Joanne, (coffee) on the side.
The third one is a tiny bit complicated, but would be well worth it – as it can be both a meal and a snack. If you have some blueberries, or mixed berries, some low fat Greek yogurt, skim milk, and even a teeny bit of cocoa, then you have the makings of a nice smoothie.
Just add blender – I have that backwards, but you get the idea. So don’t despair, as the proper nutrition is right around the corner for you, and the proper meal is in the fridge when you get them; all you have to do is put it together, which, frankly, doesn’t take that much work…after all.
