How to Keep Healthy by Eating Vegetables for Breakfast

We all know that appropriate diet and nutrition are essential if you want to protect your wellness and wellbeing, but how many of us eat vegetables for breakfast? It may sound insane, but there are genuinely ways to incorporate vegetables into your breakfast on a daily basis.

 

The percentage of people who eat the recommended number of daily servings of vegetables is shockingly low, and continues to decrease, and so it is important that we look at ways of getting as many extra vegetables into the diet as possible.

 

Breakfast is vitally important anyway, and starting off your day in the right way can mean that you feel inspired to keep up the good work for the rest of the day (as well as enjoying the benefits of the extra energy and vitality that healthy food at the start of your day is bound to give you).

 

Firstly, omelette is a great breakfast, and you can add vegetables to this very easily. Why not try adding some bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, onions or zucchini next time you do an omelette for breakfast? If you’re too busy for all this chopping in the morning then you can top your omelette with some chunky salsa and some slices of avocado. You could even vary this by making a frittata and adding broccoli, cauliflower or any other hearty vegetables.

 

A whole wheat or corn tortilla can also be a great way to start the day, and they are full of protein and nutrients. You can make a veggie quesadilla abut adding some refried beans, chopped tomatoes, bell peppers and onions and topping with a little low fat grated cheese, then pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This is a great, healthy and very tasty way to start the day.

How to Add Flavour to Your Recipes Without Adding Calories

One of the reasons that many people struggle to follow a low fat diet and provide themselves with the right nutrition to maintain their wellness is that they find this type of food very bland. Many people associate any food that is beneficial for their wellbeing with boredom and frustration, but actually even diet food can be packed full of flavour.

 

There are actually tons of low calorie ways to add flavour to your food, and with the right knowledge your diet can be anything but boring.

 

Hot sauce has got to be one of the most exciting ways to add a bit of zing to your meal. It’s not only low in calories, but the chilli peppers also boost your metabolism. Keep eating spicy foods and speed up the rate at which you burn calories. You can add it to a chilli made with lean beef or to chicken or turkey dishes.

 

Following the same train of thought, spices are also low on calorie and packed with flavour. You can add anything from pepper to onion powder to a variety of low calorie recipes, to add a lot of flavour to a normally bland, low-calorie meal.

 

To make a fruity, summer dish, try adding barbeque sauce to the menu. This will turn plain old pork chops or baked chicken into a tasty and flavoursome dish. Just make sure that you look out for a barbeque sauce that is low in sugar, as some of them can have high levels of sugar.

 

If you want a fresher flavour, citrus juices can be a fantastic way to add a lot of extra flavour to the menu without adding any calories. You can use these to jazz up so many things – from adding a splash of orange or lemon juice to make your glass of water tastier to using it as a marinade for chicken or fish.
