Weight loss breakfasts: sweet and savory options

Yogurt with compote

In addition to losing weight, it is a full-fledged healthy breakfast. In a bowl, put a milk or vegetable yogurt and complete with a tablespoon of fruit compote and some toasted sesame seeds. The compote is much lighter than the jam, which has a lot of sugar. Cook 40 minutes in a saucepan over low heat some apples or pears cut into cubes. You can flavor with a cinnamon stick. You can add a touch of sweetness with a little bit of date paste.

More ideas. Instead of compote you can put fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries …).

Bread with Iberian ham

If you lose your bread with sausages, be careful because they can be very caloric. Better that you opt for whole wheat bread and, instead of cold cuts, put Iberian ham because it has less saturated fat than other meats and hams, and improves cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

More options. Add some green leaves and it will fill you up a lot more.

Fresh fruit with chocolate

To make this fruit breakfast, all you have to do is take a piece of seasonal fruit (a couple if it's medium or a handful if it's small) and combine it with an ounce of dark chocolate.

More ideas. Thread the fruit on skewers, water it with the melted chocolate in a bain-marie and let it cool.

Oatmeal pancakes

Oatmeal pancakes are very filling and less caloric than regular ones. Beat 4 egg whites with 5 tablespoons of oatmeal. Heat a little olive oil in a nonstick skillet and add a ladle of the batter. Let it cook for about 2 minutes and turn it over. You can combine them with sweet and savory ingredients. Here with fresh cheese and tomato.

More ideas. Banana and oatmeal pancakes are also very popular. Blend 1 banana, 1 egg, 1 egg white, and 3-4 tablespoons of oatmeal. And blend them in the pan like the previous ones.

Green smoothie
