Start your weekend on the right foot with a delicious, balanced breakfast. It will give you the energy you need for activities like running, biking, hiking or swimming. Even if you're not prone to physical activity on your day off, eating a balanced meal will help power you through errands and social events.
Last weekend I made "Mexican Eggs" with a small green salad, fresh fruit and a non-fat latte. What are Mexican eggs you may ask?
2 eggs
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 cup spicy re-fried beans (no fat, less salt: the western family brand is actually quite good!)
1/2 cup salsa - mmm...we used a mango salsa!
1/2 grated low fat cheddar cheese
- other great additions: bell peppers, corn, spinach and whatever veggies you need to use up!
I'm also a huge fan of whole grain pancakes. I actually use a mini-burger pan to make them, that's why they look like waffles! Normally I always recommend making them from scratch using whole wheat flour, oats, milk, eggs and a small amount of oil & sugar. However, I've recently discovered this mix from Costco - INN ON THE CREEK FOODS - 6 GRAIN PANCAKE & WAFFLE MIX. 80 cal for 1/4 cup dry, 3g fibre, 4g sugar (1 sugar cube) and only 5% or 115 mg sodium - which is pretty much unheard of for a pre-made pancake mix.
WHO'S ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD TO WEEKEND BRUNCH?
