What makes this recipe a good breakfast?<\/h3>\n
[\/fusion_title][fusion_text]<\/p>\n
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It “breaks the fast” between dinner from the day before and lunch the following day. It gives you the energy you need for your day to day lifestyle. Protein is important not just for basic bodily functions, but for satiation – it keeps you fuller longer, which prevents overeating therefore helps with weight management.<\/p>\n
Since most of my clients are either pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s especially important to get adequate protein. The American Pregnancy Association<\/a><\/strong><\/span> recommends that pregnant and breastfeeding mothers get about 75 to 100 grams of protein a day! I usually recommend to break down the protein by 20 grams each meal, then about 10 and 10 grams for snacks (equals 80grams). For example, this breakfast would provide you with roughly 20 grams of protein (4 grams in 1 slice of whole wheat bread, 2-5 grams in your vegetables, and ~12grams in 2 eggs – obviously this will depend on how much of the egg casserole you eat and what vegetables you add).<\/p>\n I did add brewers yeast, which is a great source of B vitamins and for my breastfeeding moms it *may help with milk production! I see a lot of moms put brewers yeast in sweet foods like oatmeal or smoothies, but brewers yeast is so bitter, that I usually recommend putting it in savory foods.<\/p>\n [\/fusion_text][fusion_imageframe image_id=”2831″ style_type=”none” stylecolor=”” hover_type=”none” bordersize=”” bordercolor=”” borderradius=”” align=”none” lightbox=”no” gallery_id=”” lightbox_image=”” alt=”” link=”” linktarget=”_self” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]https:\/\/www.aloha-nutrition.com\/staging\/1234\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG-9906-e1544195870317.jpg[\/fusion_imageframe][fusion_text]<\/p>\n This recipe was super quick and easy to make. It’s even great if you practice Baby Led Weaning <\/a>(<\/strong><\/span>BLW is basically where your baby feeds herself whole foods, instead of feeding your baby purees. Since this egg casserole is entact, it makes it easy for babies to pick it up and feed themselves. It’s also a great source of iron, which babies at 6 months need. I do offer one on one BLW consultations<\/a><\/strong><\/span> if you’d like more information)<\/p>\n It took me about 5-10 minutes to prepare and cut all the vegetables, then I just put it in the oven, got myself ready for the day and by the time I was done getting ready, breakfast was ready!<\/p>\n Let me know how you like it!<\/p>\n [\/fusion_text][fusion_text]<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.aloha-nutrition.com\/staging\/1234\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG-9907-e1544195555864-150x150.jpg\")
