Breakfast

Here is share my favorite breakfast and brunch recipes. As chef and mom in perimenopause, I go for savory or refined sugar free breakfasts with protein and fiber to keep me feeling full.

Breakfast recipes for perimenopause, in my opinion, should be centered around fiber, protein and good fats. This is how I’ve designed by breakfast and brunch recipes.

I steer clear of added refined sugar and even high-natural-sugar foods in my morning meals. Instead, I reach for eggs, light meats and loads of veggies. Plus oats and chia puddings feature a lot in my breakfasts.

What I love about these recipes is that my kids love them too! So, I only need to make one breakfast for the whole family because honestly, I don’t have time to make loads of different options.

Here are the 4 recipes I make the most. Each of these make great meal prep recipes:

Chia Pudding with Yogurt

Asparagus and Salmon Frittata

Chia and Flax Seed Pudding

Vanilla Protein Cheesecakes

Meal prep is a big factor in my busy life and if you find yourself really busy too, I recommend you build in an hour or so over the weekend to prep a few recipes. Giving yourself a head start to the week is one of my top tips to eating and feeling better.

Personally, I try to get in at least 30 to 40 grams of protein in my first meal of the day. This way, I can take the pressure off the rest of my day’s meals regarding protein intake.
