Healthy Breakfast Recipes for Weight Loss: Eggs Are Your Best Friend
When looking for delicious healthy breakfast recipes for weight loss, eggs really are your best friend. Eggs are one of the most natural foods you can eat and also one of the best. A word of caution though: don’t believe the hype and nonsense that too many eggs are bad for you. This is simply not true. Eggs are full of protein and healthy fats. That is healthy fats; they’re packed with good cholesterol, the kind that can really help you lose weight. Remember that when choosing which eggs to buy you should always try to buy organic free-range eggs. Chickens are much happier than caged ones and the quality of the eggs reflects this. If you can’t buy organic products, at least try to buy free range animals. Here are two healthy breakfast recipes high in protein and healthy fats for weight loss.
1. Bausti’s breakfast
Serves 1-2
Ingredients
• 3 medium-sized organic / free-range eggs
• 40 g of zucchini
• 60 g lightly steamed cauliflower
• 60 g of cooked chicken
• Chili flakes
• Mixed vegetables
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180oC.
2. Chop everything into small pieces.
3. Fill 6 medium-size muffin boxes halfway with chicken and vegetables.
4. Beat 2 of the eggs and add some chili flakes, then pour the egg chili mixture in equal parts into each muffin box and bake in the oven for about 7 min.
5. Beat the remaining egg.
6. Fill the muffins with the remaining egg (the reason is that the beaten eggs form a bit and then harden during the baking process leaving room for refilling).
