Avocado Toast with Egg
Avocado toast with an egg: This breakfast option is as tasty as it is easy to make! Start by toasting your favorite bread and topping it with mashed avocado, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Then, add a sunny side up or poached egg – whichever you prefer -for additional protein. Avocado toast is packed with fiber from the bread, healthy fats from the avocado, and plenty of vitamins and minerals from the egg – all things great for breastfeeding moms!
Overnight Oats
If you’re looking for something that can be made ahead of time so you can grab-and-go in the morning, look no further than overnight oats! All you have to do is mix oats with milk (dairy or non-dairy) in a mason jar or container of your choice along with any other ingredients such as chia seeds, flaxseed meal, honey, cinnamon or fresh fruits like blueberries. Leave the mixture in your fridge overnight and enjoy cold in the morning or warm it up if you prefer hot oatmeal!
Smoothie Bowls
Smoothie bowls are another delicious breakfast option that will fill you up while providing essential nutrients such as vitamins A & C as well as calcium. Choose any combination of frozen fruit such as strawberries, mangoes or bananas – whatever suits your tastes – then blend them together until smooth. Top off the smoothie bowl with nuts such as almonds or walnuts for added protein and crunchiness!
Egg Muffins
Egg muffins are an excellent source of protein and can easily be made ahead of time so all you have to do in the morning is pop one in the microwave for a few seconds before eating! All you need to do is whisk together some eggs (you can add veggies if you want!) in a bowl then pour them into greased muffin tins and bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes until golden brown on top. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days so all you have to do each morning is grab one out and heat it up!
Yogurt Parfait
Parfaits are one of the quickest breakfasts out there but also one of the most satisfying. Layer Greek yogurt with chopped nuts and granola for extra crunch then top off with fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries for added sweetness. Mix in honey if desired – this breakfast option is both nutrient-packed and tasty!
There are so many delicious options out there when it comes to creating healthy breakfasts – these five suggestions are just scratching the surface! As a busy breastfeeding mother who may not have much time to prepare meals each morning, try prepping these meals ahead of time when possible so they’re ready when hunger strikes in the morning! Remember that what fuels your body will also fuel your baby’s growth too–so feel good about starting every day off right with these nourishing options!
