3-Ingredient Breakfast Ideas for Weight Loss

Use these simple breakfast ideas for weight loss to eat healthy every morning #breakfast #ideas #weightloss #flabfix

1. Make an avocado and banana smoothie

Smoothies are a fiber-rich and quick way to fulfill your nutritional needs in the morning. This one consists of a small-sized avocado, 2 bananas, and a half cup of low-fat milk. Blend all the ingredients until they are smooth.

Avocado has healthy fat and fiber. Healthy fat gives your body a source of energy that is digested slowly. The banana adds some natural sweetness to the smoothie and also gives you energy. To balance the nutrients, get your supply of protein from low-fat milk.

2. Oatmeal and fruits

This meal consists of oats, milk, and fruit. Make a porridge out of the oats by boiling ½ cup water, adding a pinch of salt, and half a glass of oats. Bring to a boil and remove it when the water has evaporated.

Top it up with some hot milk and a fruit of your choice. You could eat grapes, bananas, apples, or mangos. Oats are a surefire way to lose weight because the carbohydrates are slow releasing.

3. Quinoa, pears, and vanilla

Simply boil and simmer the grain until a whitetail appears on each grain. Then toss in some vanilla extract for taste and some pears for extra crunchiness and sweetness.

Quinoa is a vegetable-like grain with minerals, proteins, and vitamins. It also works as an easy substitute for starches like potatoes.

4. Avocado, Tomato, sandwich

Bread is one of the most convenient and easily available ingredients in modern kitchens. However, the refined kind has too many additives. It also has rich nutrients taken out.

Choose whole-grain bread for your sandwich. Combine slices of avocado, tomato, and bread for filling and satisfying bites.

5. Baked egg in an avocado

Baking reduces the need for oil, which is inappropriate for weight loss. Since avocado already has their own natural oils, you would not even need to line a baking sheet with oil.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed from the avocado, and pour in the egg. After baking for 15 minutes, add seasoning and sesame seeds.

6. Raspberry chia, and milk pudding

Chia seeds are rich in fiber, calcium, iron, and protein. Raspberry is packed with antioxidants and vitamins. You only need chia seeds, raspberry, and low-fat milk for this dish.

Blend the raspberry and milk separately then add in the chia seeds for a satisfying yet healthy pudding.

7. Chilled strawberry and oats

Instead of taking your oats as porridge, go for a different alternative. Blend Greek yogurt and strawberry into a thick purée. Toss in the oats and keep them in the refrigerator overnight.

You’ll have yourself a fiber-rich, energy-packed jar of pink delight the next morning.

8. Baked sweet potato, mustard seeds, and egg

Shred sweet potatoes and put them on a greased muffin tray. Sprinkle in some mustard seeds and bake. Mustard seeds are good anti-inflammatory agents that help to speed up your metabolism for fast weight loss.

After ten minutes, push the sweet potatoes to the bottom and side of each muffin hole and pour in the eggs. Let that bake for another 10 minutes. The potatoes add sweetness and fiber to the meal while the egg gives you protein for tissue building.

17. Mango and beetroot smoothie

For this one, you need a ripe mango, beetroot, and milk. Beetroot is rich in iron and antioxidants, so consider using it a little more in your diet. Blend the diced mango and beetroot with milk.
