Clean Eating - What's for Breakfast?

What's for breakfast?Day 19 and 20: I apologize for not sending you a clean eating message last night. I had to send my two Boy Scouts off to camp and headed home. The weather was nasty out so Allison and I grabbed blankets, put on a little senseless television and had our own camp out!

Now on to the good stuff. What is for breakfast? How many times a week do we ask ourselves this? We all want something simple or quick and easy to prepare, right?

Well, here is my favorite breakfast when I have time. Scrambled eggs served with a bowl of oatmeal.

Scrambled eggs

• 1 whole egg
• 3 egg whites
• dash of salt and black pepper

Put everything in a bowl, whisk it all together. I add about a teaspoon safflower oil to my pan, add my eggs and cook eggs until set.

Oatmeal

• 1/4 oatmeal ( I use Quaker Multi Grain Hot Cereal)
• 1/2 cup water ( you can use milk of your choice such as skim, almond or soy here. I prefer water.)
• 1tablespoon ground flax seed
• 2 teaspoons raw honey

I put all of my ingredients into a microwave safe bowl. mix the ingredients well. microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. stir again before serving.

I also like to prepare a batch of steel cut oats and keep it in the fridge for crazy busy mornings.
You can prepare these oats in your crock pot over the weekend. pull out what you need in the morning add a little raw honey, sliced almonds, a bit of fruit and you have a really good for you breakfast.

Here is a favorite blog post of mine over at The Gracious Pantry. It is  a 365 day oatmeal project. I love to head over their and browse the recipes. 365 day oatmeal project
