In general, you can use your favorite pancake recipe and replace the milk or buttermilk with yogurt. You may want to add a bit of baking soda as well to complement the acidity of the yogurt in the cooking process. Yogurt will make your pancakes extra fluffy.

You’ll notice that the batter is thicker and smoother than regular pancake batter, and it may not bubble up when you cook the pancake, depending on the recipe. So when deciding whether to flip the pancakes, be sure to keep an eye on how cooked the edges are rather than waiting around for bubbles.

In addition to extra fluff, your pancakes will take on the taste of whatever yogurt you use. So a more acidic yogurt or a thick yogurt will add more tang, more density, or more acidity. This will still be delicious, and it still pairs great with maple syrup, fruit, or other pancake toppings. You may want to add a bit of extra sugar to the batter so that the sweetness can help temper the acidity of the yogurt.

One idea that I’ve used to break up the boring breakfast trend recently is this banana breakfast sandwich recipe. Check it out and give it a try!

Ingredients

• 2 slices whole-grain bread
• 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 medium banana
• 5 grams butter

You’ll also need a panini grill to make this recipe!

Instructions

Your first step to making this recipe is to spread just a tiny bit of butter on the outside of each piece of bread. This will allow it to get nice and golden once it’s gone into the panini grill.

Next, take the banana and slice it into medium-thick pieces.

After this, you’ll want to spread the natural peanut butter on the inside of one of the pieces of bread. Once you’ve done so, place the banana slices on top of the peanut butter.

On the inside of the other piece of bread, spread the tablespoon of honey. Place this slice of bread on top of the slice that contains the bananas and peanut butter, and stick your sandwich inside of the panini grill.

Once the bread is toasted and ready, your sandwich can be eaten. Enjoy!

Water

If you do nothing else, the first thing you should do is drink water as soon as you get up in the morning, and try to drink water throughout the day. This is great for your body for so many reasons, the biggest being that since you’ve been sleeping all night, your body is super dehydrated.

Fruit

Fruit has natural sugars, so it’s a great way to start your day in an energized way. Although it’s good for an afternoon pick-me-up as well, having a piece of fruit in the morning is probably better for your body, especially before you eat anything else. The one exception to this is acidic fruits like oranges, because they could upset your stomach if it’s empty.

Caffeine

If you do drink tea or coffee in the morning, stop yourself from drinking a second cup to get more energy. Instead, try to drink your drink more slowly. This will help distribute the caffeine into your body at a steady rate so you’ll gain a more steady energy that will also get released from your body slower so you won’t crash as hard later.

Well, times are changing and healthy meals can be prepared in a matter of minutes. One notable example is cereal and milk bars, something that your entire family will love.

They can be taken to work, school or anywhere else you might want to eat them. Without any additives or preservatives, these breakfast bars are an ideal energy snack. Here’s how to make them!

What you need:

• 2 cups of Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 1/4 cups of any boxed cereal
• Nuts or seeds (optional)

How to make it:

Just mix everything and make it into bars. When the bars are all set, focus on the pan. Cover the bottom and the sides with parchment paper. This is very important because the paper prevents the bars from sticking to the pan.

Put all the bars on the covered pan, cover them with a loose plastic wrap and put them in the freezer for 4-8 hours. You can eat them immediately!

Forget cheese, quinoa, peanuts, tofu, wheat, legumes and…well, for Paleo followers you will have to skip meat, and bacon and add vegetables. A lot of them.

Eggs are a great choice too, and you’ll need to get creative. How about baking an egg in an avocado?

What about Mexican omelet? Mediterranean grilled tomatoes with sweet potato toast or mushrooms with peppers, and spinach?

The great benefit to your body is you will feel light and boost your immune system with those great choices too!

The health benefits don’t stop with boosting your immune system, you will feel energized and your body won’t be digesting a heavy meal.

The important thing is to get creative with vegetables. They will add color and variety to your meal. Think more how you can use eggs too, such as egg rolls, or scrambled eggs with vegetable flavored from different countries – think India, Italy, and Greece.

Mix up your herbs, spices, and vegetables and you’ll be onto a winning formula in no time at all.
