Hey everybody it’s Jamie from no getting off this train in today’s video I am giving you some healthy breakfast ideas that you can take into the new year so January this new year is the time when almost everybody wants to eat healthier they make all these New Year’s
Resolutions like I’m going to lose weight I’m going to start eating healthier and a lot of times we don’t really know how to do that like we say we’re going to but we don’t put a plan behind it and I honestly believe that breakfast is the most important meal of
The day I know I’ve said that before you probably heard it before but it really is it helps prevent you from overeating the rest of the day it gives you a lot of energy to fuel you throughout the morning and the rest of the day and eating a breakfast can help you lose
Weight because it prevents you from overeating later in the day now these breakfasts I’m about to give you are super easy and delicious like I have ADHD so I need some easy things that I can pull out of the fridge every morning to get my breakfast in so you can prep
These on like a Sunday afternoon and have breakfast for the entire week I’m going to have links to all the recipes down in the description so make sure you check those out I’m also going to be talking about like different nutrition info and cool little tidbits about these
Breakfasts so let’s get started with these amazing breakfast ideas this first section is all about oats now oats are a nutritional Powerhouse in the mornings they’re a good source of fiber and protein thanks to the whole grains they’ve been shown to help lower cholesterol and promote weight loss oats
Are also naturally gluten-free although if you’re really sensitive to gluten you’ll want to buy certified gluten-free oats and the great thing is you don’t have to just eat a plain bowl of oatmeal you can actually bake oats with other ingredients and it almost has the consistency of cake it’s super soft and
Fluffy and it’s so good the one I’m making here is a banana bread baked oatmeal which is my top breakfast recipe you just mix the oats with milk eggs and a few other ingredients and and bake it in the oven for about 40 minutes after it’s fully baked I let it cool
Completely before slicing because otherwise it’ll fall apart now this has more carbs than protein so if you like a little protein punch you can eat this with some eggs sausage or cottage cheese just to name a few this combo will keep you full for hours now I sliced this
Into six servings so I can make this on a Sunday afternoon and eat from it all week long now in addition to baked oatmeal you can use oats to make muffins now the version you’re about to see is gluten-free but there are other recipes out there that use both flour and oats
At the same time the muffins are a fun way to get kids to eat more nutritious Foods too like Allison won’t eat baked oatmeal but she’ll happily eat a muffin this recipe also uses Greek yogurt which is full of protein and will help keep you full longer and you’ll notice I add
Flax seed and then some Walnut pieces at the end both both of them are full of healthy omega-3 fats which we don’t usually get enough of flax seed doesn’t have a taste when you add it to baked goods and I’ll usually put about 3 tablespoons into whatever I’m making
Just to get that boost of healthy fats you can turn these into regular size muffins or even mini muffins bake them for 12 to 20 minutes depending on the size and you’ve got a ton of muffins ready to grab and go and my favorite part you can freeze them now I put them
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and I flash freeze them just like that and I’ll put them in a gallon size freezer bag they will stay fresh for up to 3 months but we always pretty much finish them by then so these were two
Ways that you can use oats in baking but what if you don’t want to use your oven so this is where overnight oats come In overnight oats have a thick and creamy consistency like a bowl of oatmeal but they’re kept in the fridge overnight for the oats to absorb the liquid just like baked oatmeal you can use a ton of different flavor combinations my standard base recipe is
1/2 cup of oats 1/3 cup of milk 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt and 1 tspoon of chia seeds all of that provides a good amount of protein and fiber and from there I’ll add other ingredients like blueberries bananas and peanut butter and jelly chocolate chips or like whatever suits
My fancy that week check out my master Post in the description for all of the different overnights recipes you just saw and my last way to use oats is as granola and a yogurt parfait so I usually make these the morning of so it’s a bit more time consuming but you
Could prep them ahead of time if you want I use a base of Greek yogurt for protein and then some kind of fruit so for me it’s either frozen blueberries or a diced Apple both of them have amazing flavor flavor and yogurt and then I’ll
Add some granola on top now you can make your own granola or you store bought although homemade sometimes has less added sugar I personally like buying the granola that has added protein just because I like to stay full longer granilla can be pretty calorie dense so if you’re watching your calorie intake
Just be mindful of how much you add now as you can see I love eating oats in a ton of different ways but let’s get into some more more Savory options now this one is maybe non-traditional but I’d like to introduce you guys to baked sweet potatoes for breakfast sweet
Potatoes are an amazing source of vitamin A and other essential vitamins they can be a great addition to any meal of the day I slic them in half and put them in the oven at 400° for 30 minutes to get them nice and soft and then I’ll top them with random ingredients like
Most recently it was sour cream and salsa and I scrambled hold some eggs and spinach to go with it now let me take the time to say that so far these foods are pretty carb heavy and I know I’ll get some comments on it friends carbs
Are not bad for you you obviously need to be mindful if you’re diabetic but carbs give you energy and they don’t make you gain weight like people think they do I will happily debate you later but let’s get into some more breakfast potatoes I use red potatoes for this one
For some variety each type of potato has its own main sources of vitamins so I try to eat all the different types and I leave the skin on both because it’s delicious and because a lot of the vitamins are in the skin I like making potatoes like this because you can
Customize it to your liking I use frozen peppers and onions but you could use fresh or even add other favorite vegetables I use olive oil to help roast them and get in some healthy fats and then sprinkle with seasoned salt and chili powder and I roasted at 400° for
Close to 30 minutes now these potatoes could be eaten on their own but as it’s pretty low in protein I will usually scramble some eggs or heat up some frozen sausage links to go with it this is another good meal prep recipe that you can make in less than an hour and
Have breakfast all week long now as you can see it makes a ton of food I divide them into meal prep containers and once they’ve cooled completely I put them in the fridge now and you could just scramble some eggs while the potatoes are cooking and just add them to each
Container like whichever is easiest for you but as you can see these potatoes can be highly customizable and made to suit your needs the next breakfast idea is veggie omelette cups now one egg has 6 g of protein and 5 G of fat making these guys an amazing addition to your
Morning they’re also a source of vitamin A vitamin D calcium and iron you could scramble them or fry them but you can also bake them in the oven with some vegetables and other delicious ingredients I added spinach and mushrooms in this one but like onions broccoli and bell pepper are good
Options too just add your favorite seasonings and maybe some cheese and pour the mixture into a muffin tin and they’ll be ready in about 20 minutes now these are lower in carbs so you could eat these by themselves if you wanted or you could serve them with those
Breakfast potatoes we made earlier or another favorite carb like a bagel or English muffin and the egg cups don’t have a lot of fiber so you can make that Bagel whole wheat to help you stay full longer so if you’re feeding a family with this or you want to make this last
The week I recommend making a double batch like I typically eat three of these for breakfast and with a standard recipe that’ll get me about four days worth of food it’s not too bad but make more if you want these to last longer another great thing is that these egg
Cups freeze easily too just like with the muffins put them on a baking sheet with parchment paper and freeze them and then put them in a gallon size freezer bag these last two recipes are from my archive so if they look old and have recipe text that is why so let’s take a
Look at these breakfast bowls these are similar to the breakfast potatoes but I scramble some eggs and add them to the meal prep containers too and this one I use sweet potatoes but again any kind of potato will work you can fry them in a skillet or roast them and then add a
Bunch of seasonings some of my favorites are garlic powder onion powder chili powder and salt and pepper and again use any vegetable you want like this is a great way to use up leftover veggies in the fridge try to add a variety of colors cuz each vegetable has its own
Unique set of vitamins adding scrambled eggs to this gives it the protein boost we need to start our day right I usually add a bit of milk and then seasonings and scramble it right with the vegetables now our last breakfast idea is Bagel sandwiches which are freezer
Friendly my top hack for making eggs is to crack them into a large muffin tin and then bake them in the oven from here you can add your favorite meat and cheese deli ham is my favorite and I’ll just use whatever cheese I have on hand
These two are full of protein along with the egg and the bagel provides the carbs and energy so you can tell this video is old because oh my gosh I have hair anyway use whole wheat Bagels to add some extra fiber if you want to freeze
Them wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in a gallon size freezer bag these are super handy to get out the night before have a full breakfast ready to heat in the toaster oven leave me a comment and tell me what type of breakfast do you usually like to
Eat honestly for me I kind of need something sweet in the mornings cuz otherwise I don’t know I just feel like something sweet is really needed so things like baked oatmeal or a regular bowl of oatmeal something like that and then definitely some fruit to go with it
Hopefully these gave you a few ideas to take into the new year with you and remember that eating healthier doesn’t have to be hard and it doesn’t mean that you have to eat healthy every single day or for every single meal there’s definitely a balance but these can help
You make some more nutritious decisions thank you all so much for watching I will see you later
