Healthy breakfast and lunch ideas

I love eating healthy. Not only do you feel great about what you're putting into your body, but it just makes you feel great in all aspects of your life. You're happier, have more energy, feel better on the inside and can just enjoy life without those food comas from junk food.

So here are two of my favourite meals to help inspire your healthy eating:

BREAKFAST

For breakfast I will typically have a yogurt bowl every morning. Here are the ingredients I will normally put into my yogurt bowl.


I have my favourite coconut Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is a great alternative to regular yogurt and is very full of proteins. With it I always have fruit. I always just use any fruit we have in the house but always try to add blueberries, I have a slight addiction to them. Today I had frozen blueberries and pineapple. I usually try to incorporate some sort of carb, to get the energy I need for the day. Today I used oats, mixed with a little agave syrup. It adds a pinch of sweetness! And on top I like adding a peach favoured fish oil just for the added nutrients.



LUNCH

For lunch, I like to keep simple but filling. I myself don't have a huge stomach, so just a simple sandwich can fill me up for hours. So that is exactly what I made today.


So for my sandwich, I toasted two slices of gluten free flax bread. On top of the bread I put a little bit of vegan butter and pesto and then layered on my toppings. Being a vegetarian, it is important to make sure I get my protein in, so for that I used a veggie hamburger paddy. I put a slice of Havarti cheese on top and then a few slices of zucchini, spinach and lettuce and then I put the other slice on top.


It was a small sandwich, seeing as the only gluten free bread I can ever find is about half the size of a normal slice of bread but it filled me up and stopped any cravings.

I hope you found these meal ideas useful and that it will help guide you towards healthy eating, I have plenty of more recipes that I cannot wait to share :)
