Alright, ya'll. I've been slipping a bit on eating healthier breakfasts at home these past few weeks. Despite a few too many coffee runs, I think I'm starting to find a good balance + moderation with my meals. I've tried to ease my way in by to cutting back on calories and some of the unhealthier foods I tend to indulge in. My goal has been to make more mindful decisions while still allowing myself to indulge a little bit here and there. I also try to go for higher protein options, less super carby/high fat options + less empty calorie foods. When I do indulge, I also play a little bit of pick a side where I'll skip out on one thing for something else later on. I'm always an "everything in moderation" kinda gal because it's easier for me to make progress through compromise than extremity.
Right now that might look like skipping out on chips at lunch because I already had an iced coffee with breakfast or maybe instead of chips, I'll eat something more nutritional like pistachios or yogurt. It really just depends on the day. Some days I do great, others I could've definitely done better. I've also still consumed my fair share of sugar which I'm still working on. I have a huge sweet tooth so I always struggle here.
To get back on my breakfast groove, I picked up some go-to's + staples. I always like to keep eggs, greek yogurt + the Two Good Smoothies in my fridge. I'm also still obsessed with the Hero Seed Bread I raved about in this post-- it's THE best. It tastes great and I love that it's low in calories, high in fiber/protein + has no sugar.
New to me are the Three Bridges Egg Bites, Organic Valley Milk and the Applegate bacon. I tend to switch around with protein- I go through cycles with turkey sausage, ham or bacon. Bacon is a controversial one but for a healthier option, the Greenfield Natural Bacon is so yummy and cleaner than a lot of alternatives. I also trust Applegate for cleaner products so I'm excited to try their's out too.
Butter, jam + the Pacific Valley Tater Patties are also staples in my kitchen! The hash browns are definitely a little indulgence but twelve minutes in the air fryer + a 10/10!
