5 simple breakfast ideas for Mums

March 8, 2017Linda AndersonFITNESS & WELLBEING, SIMPLE FAMILY FOODNo Comments

Breakfast … the most important meal of the day … I know you know that. How often do you eat breakfast or a breakfast that makes you feel good?

 

Most Mums I know, myself included, struggle with a good breakfast every day. Sometimes I do very well, sometimes I leave the house for school with my three children, cranky, with an empty tummy. Today I am going to share with you 5 breakfast options that allow me to have a yummy, healthy breakfast with ease … any day of the week.

5 Simple Breakfast Ideas for Mums

simple 2 egg omelette

Omelette – this may seems little fancy but I promise it is quick, easy and I can make one while I am doing kids breakfasts and lunches.

2 eggs, dribble of water … lightly beaten with a fork. Melt a little butter in my small pan, pour in the mixture. While it starts cooking quickly chop whatever  I have to put in it – ham, chicken, cheese, tomato, baby spinach leaves, feta … any combo works!  Lightly spread filling on one half, fold omelette in half and leave to cook another minute, flip and cook a little longer.

Voila … omelette for Mum done!

 

Boiled eggsBoiled Eggs – this is my “go to” for Monday morning. I go to a group personal training session that starts at 6am and I need a little something in my tummy before I go.

I boil up four eggs on Sunday night and pop in the fridge.  Then I eat one egg in the car on the way to training Monday morning, and usually a second one while I am making kids lunches when I get home.

The other 2 eggs are just there for snacks in coming days or perhaps another breakfast when I am in a rush.

 

Bircher Muesli with fruitBircher Muesli – this is a recent discovery for me. What I love about this is the preparation is done the night before and only takes a few minutes. Then I am ready to go in the morning. It lasts a few days in a sealed container in the fridge so always make enough to last a few days!

Here is a simple recipe from Lisa Corduff to get you started … experiment with combos you like from there

 

yohurt and fruitYoghurt & Fruit – a summer favourite. We always have a tub of Greek Yoghurt in our fridge.

A couple of big dollops with some fresh fruit, or even some frozen berries is a nice way to start the day.

 

 

Leftovers – this is not glamorous  but better than not eating at all. It might be a cold sausage, or left over spaghetti bolognese, left over stir fry vegies warmed up (perhaps I will cook an egg to mix through). You get the idea.

 

 

IMPORTANT: the main key to actually having a breakfast that makes me feel good is getting myself organised. When I am not organised I end up eating the left over scraps of my kids toast.

I have been feeling house bound for the last 2 wee I have been feeling house bound for the last 2 weeks recovering from my foot operation but I am able to drive now.
So when a beautiful friend suggested buying me a coffee and meeting me at the beach for some fresh air and a chat it was an immediate YES from me 💗
Thanks @emilykingpens ... that was so good for my soul.

In our modern world we have neglected to support a In our modern world we have neglected to support and prepare a woman for the significant changes she will experience within herself when the mother is born. This transition from woman to mother is profound, and yet generations of women have been left to navigate this part of their journey alone.

It wasn't meant to be like this. We are supposed to gather. To share our wisdom with each other. To share our vulnerabilities. To take this journey hand in hand, to walk the path with others.

The doors to the 2021 Mama Rising Book Club have now opened and I can't wait to bring another small group of women together to explore their journey of motherhood together.

 

Thanks to Zoom we can be any where in the world together, and still gather.
We can rock our babies to sleep ... and still gather.
We can be in lockdown ... and still gather.

I am ready to gather .. are you?
It is time to gather. It is time to explore the ch It is time to gather.
It is time to explore the changes that motherhood has brought YOU, the woman.
It is time to feel supported.

Doors have opened for the 2021 Mama Rising Book Club. Link in bio.

It is time.

Thank you @koukouleeretreats for providing such a Thank you @koukouleeretreats for providing such a beautiful space to gather mums & buns today for the Mama Rising: Birth of a Mother workshop. 
My 💗 is full tonight
Tomorrow I will be up bright and early (4.50am) fo Tomorrow I will be up bright and early (4.50am) for another great ocean swim with @nzoceanswim 
My island swim friends and I are catching a water taxi across to Auckland for the race.
I have been pretty quiet in the lead up to this swim because I wasnt sure I was going to be able to do it (grrr ... injury) but yesterday I decided I was still going to have a go, even if I just swim super slow and gentle.
You see, a beautiful soul I used to paddle with in Sydney was killed in an accident 2 weeks ago ... leaving behind young children and her wonderful husband. Tomorrow her funeral will be held in Sydney.
Tomorrow I choose to swim ... because I can. And I want to really feel gratitude for that fact and send love from the ocean across the ditch to all who will miss her. 💗🏊‍♀️💗
