Breakfast “Toast” – Prepared Two Ways
&
Breakfast Fruit Smoothie
#1: French Toast with Cinnamon
• Scramble 2 eggs in a bowl • Dip 2 slices of bread in the egg (you can use whatever bread you like best, a healthy option would be multi-grain bread due to its nutrient benefits with the grains and nuts often found in that type of bread). • Once bread is dipped in bread, add to the heated cooking pan • Sprinkle both sides of bread with cinnamon powder as it cooks in the pan • Once the bread is browned on both sides, remove from pan • Add butter and maple syrup (for healthy options, you can add fruit such as blueberries or strawberries on top. Honey is also a healthy alternative to maple syrup)
#2: Healthy Toast Topping Options
• Put one slice of bread in the toaster or in the oven (choose whatever bread you like but multi- grain bread is a great option due to its nutrient benefits with the grains and nuts often found in that type of bread). • Once the bread is toasted to your desire, there are a variety of delicious toppings you can add to each slice of bread you make such as: ➢ Peanut butter, banana and/or apple slices ➢ On a different slice of toasted bread you can add- Flavored or plain cream cheese with berry slices and strawberry slices on top ➢ If you’re having a late breakfast (often called “Brunch”), you can toast a slice of bread and add- goat cheese, tomato slice and spinach leaf.
#3: Fruit Smoothie
• A smoothie can be a healthy breakfast option, especially if you require pureed style foods. • In your blender cup, add the following ingredients: ➢ Ice (this helps thicken the drink, so the more ice you add the thicker it will be) ➢ Sliced strawberries ➢ Sliced banana ➢ Sliced blueberries ➢ Add peanut butter (great protein option) ➢ Milk (you need a liquid added to the drink so it blends right. You can use almond milk or a lactose free milk if needed) • Once everything is in your blender cup, assemble the cup to the blender machine and blend until smooth! • If it appears too thick and not blending well, add more milk or your milk alternative.
