Traditional Breakfast: Veggie Omelette
Estimated Time: 15 minutes
There are endless combinations of ingredients that you can use to create a savory veggie omelette. We recommend this guide from Alpha Foodie that covers numerous different methods for preparing the perfect veggie omelette. Whether you like your omelette broiled, incorporated, or flipped, all the techniques and tips are covered.
If you’re not feeling particularly creative, she also includes a recipe for a western style omelette as part of the guide. We do like her advice to “eat the rainbow” and mix different colored veggies together. This will help ensure you’re getting a well-rounded and nutritious meal.
Mobile Breakfast: Peanut Butter Granola Bars
Estimated Time: 15 minutes
For a breakfast that’s easy to eat on the move, try these no bake peanut butter granola bars from Beaming Baker. These only require three ingredients and you can make a single batch in 15 minutes that will last you all week long.
These are a great alternative to throw in your lineup for days where a smoothie isn’t sounding fulfilling. Or better yet, pair it with a smoothie!
Unusual Breakfast: Changua
Estimated Time: 15 minutes
Changua is a common breakfast dish from Bogotá, the capital of Columbia. It’s a simple preparation and as long as you’re not lactose intolerant, a unique addition to your morning menu. Try out this recipe from My Columbian Recipes for an authentic take on the dish.
This dish is traditionally served with bread. Make sure if you do add a bread pairing that you pick one that’s in line with the 40FRESH rules as most breads fall into the Nope category.
