While on vacation in Turkey, a client’s question kept popping into my head when I would sit down to eat in the morning: What can I eat for a healthy breakfast? It’s a simple question, but I feel like the answer is sometimes tough to grasp. In America, we often end up in a “breakfast box” and find ourselves eating the same foods over and over, day after day. Since we should really rotate the foods we eat every 3 or 4 days, all of us could use some healthy breakfast options.
During this vacation to Turkey, my eyes and stomach rejoiced in the lovely breakfast they laid out at several of the hotels we stayed in. They were simple and yummy, but nutritious. Below is a list of new options that I found for breakfast.
Boiled Eggs (easy to take to work with you)
Olives
Figs
Walnuts
Almonds
Apples
Oranges (an all season fruit)
Sausages
Cheese (goat and feta for me)
Hummus
Potatoes
Yogurt
Tomatoes
Raw veggies
Greens
Spices
Spinach
Salmon
Beans
Snap Peas
These are all foods we are familiar with, so if you have a collection in your fridge, you can mix and match to create a healthy breakfast. Shop at the farmer’s market whenever you get a chance to get fresh produce. I purchased one of the multi-section containers to hold my food and it works really well. Good luck with mixing up your breakfast options. I’m sure I left out plenty of great choices that can be added to this list. Feel free to get creative and enjoy the most important meal of the day!
Namaste
