Veggie Omelet and Greek Yogurt Parfait: The 400 Calorie Breakfast Fix


Good morning! :)
I don't know about you, but the word "Sunday" in my head rings the word "Breakfast" as well. I think Sundays are going to be the breakfast posts from now on!
The Vancouver weather's been gorgeous lately, especially in the mornings when it's not too hot. What's better than enjoying a healthy and colourful breakfast outside? This is a breakfast for 1! Sometimes you only have yourself to cook for, which can actually be a surprising treat. :)

Greek Yogurt Breakfast Parfait
  • 1/4 cup Fage Non-fat Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 cup strawberry halves
  • 1/4 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1 tbsp crunchy cereal or granola
Mix yogurt with honey in a parfait dish or regular bowl. Add strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices. Top with cereal or granola! = 165 calories


Veggie Omelet

Cooking spray
  • 1 tbsp dehydrated onion
  • 1/2 tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped broccoli florets
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp plain yogurt (or cottage cheese)
  • 1 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt seasoning
  • Dash pepper
Beat eggs with yogurt, Parmesan cheese, garlic seasoning, and pepper. Set aside.

Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and saute vegetables over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Lightly spray pan again, and lower heat to medium-low. Pour egg mixture into pan, and let it spread into a large circle. Let it cook until just about set. Scrape the vegetable mixture onto one side of the egg circle, and using a spatula, fold the other half of egg over the veggies. Transfer onto a plate. Serve with ketchup if desired. = 160 calories

Breakfast= 325 calories

I had mine with half a grapefruit (50 calories) and a cup of Earl Gray Tea.
Enjoy!
