2.5 Healthy, SHELF-STABLE Break-Fasts For Weight Loss
Today, I’m sharing HEALTHY recipes that help you work toward your weight loss goal while also providing the amino acids to support your immune system using ingredients that you probably already have on hand. The majority of the ingredients in these 2.5 recipes are shelf stable or “refrigerator stable” – meaning that these are ingredients that can last multiple weeks on the shelf or in the fridge. Stay healthy my friends and AENpeeps!

COMPLETE INTERMITTENT FASTING BUNDLE:
CHIA BREKKY BOWL BASE (plant-based)
Ingredients:
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup coconut cream (you can use the top of a coconut milk can if there is a lot of cream, or buy this on it’s own)
1/2 cup coconut milk (from a carton or homemade) – You can even use water if you need to! But if you make it homemade, coconut flakes are extremely shelf stable
2 servings plant-based protein powder*
*The addition of the protein powder is the major switch up here to maximize protein for our immune system. This also helps to boost satiety and improve fat burning perks too.
1. Combine all of these ingredients in a bowl and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes or until set. This serves 2 for the base.
For the toppings, you want to optimize the fat and fiber here to stabilize blood glucose levels.
Choose 2-3 of these toppings or double up on certain toppings:
1 Tbsp. Almond butter or PB
1 Tbsp. Cacao nibs
1 Tbsp. Coconut flakes
2 Tbsp. Nuts
2 Tbsp. Seeds
You can also add fresh or frozen berries if you want, around 1/2 cup. But if there aren’t any available at your grocery stores, you’re also fine with leaving it out for now.
If you AREN’T plant-based, you can make a change to this recipe with another fairly long lasting fridge ingredient: greek yogurt.
Here’s the base you’ll use instead:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cups organic, grass-fed whole milk greek yogurt
1 cups warm water
EGG + CABBAGE SCRAMBLE
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. grass-fed buter
2-3 eggs
1-2 cups chopped cabbage
1/4 cup chopped onions
pinch of sea salt
2 fats (ex: 1 oz. hard cheese, 1/4-1/2 cup olives, 2 Tbsp. nuts/seeds, 1/2 avocado)
1. First sauté the cabbage and onions and add the cooked cabbage/onions to a plate. Then scramble the eggs. Pair with your favorite fats.
