Breakfast can turn very bland and dull in the fitness world. Put some taste a colour into the start of your day with these delicious breakfast recipes.
Most online coaches and personal trainers reach for the tried and tested food choices when it comes to breakfast. More often than not, it’s all egg white omelettes and oats made with water. Basically, anything bland, tasteless, and beige seems to be the order of the day. But with these breakfast recipes, I’m going to show you that those coaches just lack imagination. Because breakfast can and SHOULD be downright awesome.
So in this week’s recipe blog, we’re talking breakfast recipes. Over the next few paragraphs I’ll show you that you can ditch the dull start to the day you’re being subjected to. And with these delicious breakfast recipes you can bring some much need colour into your meals. And that means it’s time to leave the beige colours for the walls of your living room.
But I’ll confess, not all the recipes are truly macro friendly. So you might have to do a bit of work to fit them in your meal plans. But I guarantee it’ll be well worth the effort.
So, without further waffle from me (do I get points for the breakfast related pun?) let’s dive right in to this week’s recipes.
- Protein Crepes – Pancakes for breakfast? Who doesn’t like the sound of that?
- Breakfast Fajitas – Fajitas in the morning? Oh yes. It’s a taste sensation!
- BLT Bowl – Everyone’s favourite sandwich deconstructed and taken to new heights.
And how great does that all sound? Let’s get cooking!

While the vegetables are cooking go ahead and fry the eggs in a separate pan. Next, transfer the eggs onto a plate and cover with tin foil to keep warm. In the same pan warm the tortillas.
Finally, assemble the fajitas, spread guacamole on each tortilla, then top each with an egg, followed by some veggies. And make sure you season with ground pepper and top with salsa (optional). Serve warm.
