High Fiber Breakfast Ideas

I came across some breakfast recipes, thanks to Pinterest, and I wanted to share some of them with you. I am always looking for new recipes and ideas for healthy, yet filling, tasty food to eat.

Get Spicy


Give huevos rancheros a twist by adding spinach, red peppers, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. Top with salsa, beans, and some slices of avocado. Eat plain or with a small whole-wheat tortilla.

Fiber content:
2 eggs: 0 grams
1 cup raw spinach: .7 grams
1/2 cup chopped red peppers: one gram
4 medium mushrooms, sliced: .7 grams
8 cherry tomatoes: 1.6 grams
2 tablespoons black bean and corn salsa: two grams
1/4 cup black beans: three grams
1/4 of an avocado: 3.4 grams
1 whole-wheat tortilla: three grams
Total fiber: 15.4 grams

Drink Your Fiber


The beauty of the smoothie is that — aside from the high fiber found in berries, pears, and other fruits — adding in nuts and veggies or legumes can increase the fiber without affecting flavor.

6 ounces nonfat blueberry Greek yogurt: .5 grams
1/2 cup blueberries: 1.8 grams
8 strawberries: 1.9 grams
1 banana: 3.1 grams
1 cup raw spinach: .7 grams
1/2 tablespoon peanut butter: .5 grams
1/4 cup cannellini beans: 2.5 grams
Total fiber: 11 grams

Get Crunchy

For a quick, high-fiber breakfast, go for nut butter on toast. Almond butter has more fiber than peanut butter, and if you top it with fresh fruit instead of sugary jam, the fiber content will be jacked up even more.

2 slices whole-wheat bread: six grams
2 tablespoons almond butter: four grams
1 banana, sliced: 3.1 grams
Total fiber: 13.1 grams

15lbs GONE

I wasn't expecting much of a loss this morning when I stepped on the scale. I haven't worked out in a week (bad me!) but my eating has still been on track. In my defense, I consider running after a 19mo old all day long, exercise. I'll take it in whatever form it comes in :) When I saw 206 I was ecstatic! That means since July 14th when I started, I have hit the 15lb mark! That is about 3.75 per week. Not too shabby! That is 15lbs gone, that I don't ever want to see again! This also means I am only 7lbs away from being UNDER 200. Something I have not seen in a very long time. I am only 26lbs away from my goal.. doesn't seem like a lot to me.. I know I got this! Oh happy day! Here is just an idea of what 15lbs looks like.. EWW!!!
