Clean & Simple Breakfast Recipes

Forget about your high carb bagels and processed silog meals. What you eat for breakfast will be a domino effect of how you'll eat and feel for the day. Just remember to keep it clean and simple. Here are some of my favorite breakfast recipes which will fuel you up and satisfy you for the day ahead!

Coconut Flour Waffles



Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp of coconut flour (available at healthy options)
  • 2 medium sized eggs
  • 1 tbsp of canola oil
  • 1 packet of stevia
  • chopped bananas/any fruit of your choice *optional*
  • cinnamon *optional*
  • all natural peanut butter/almond butter *optional*
Process
  1. In a bowl, mix together your coconut flour, eggs, canola oil and stevia till all these ingredients have been incorporated well, leaving no residue of flour or liquid behind

  3. place your coconut flour waffles on a plate and top with bananas, peanut butter and cinnamon

This is the perfect alternative to your standard flour waffles because this is high in fiber and wheat free which means that it won't spike up your blood sugar! Remember that spiking up your blood sugar leaves you craving for more sugar and it leaves you sluggish later on in the day.
