A balanced and wholesome breakfast is something that combines 2 or more of the food groups above to fulfill nutrition needs.
Breakfasts are the most important meal of the day, and we often tend to neglect them completely, or just gulp something down with a cup of caffeine or juice! But I guess we all know that we need to pay more attention to our breakfasts as this is the meal that lays the foundation of your day, giving you energy and invigorating your brain cells so you can meet the challenging tasks ahead! At least during the weekends, we should have enough time to make something delicious yet wholesome for our families, right??!! So to give justice to this first meal of the day, I choose "Balanced Breakfasts" as this month's theme for TMMbreakfast.
Preparing balanced meals is not as difficult as you think. Its just mixing up all the good stuff and packaging in a way that's visually appealing and good for your body too! The rules for participating in this event is easy, so please take a moment to go through them.
Defining a Balanced Meal:
Fruits or vegetables (dried fruits are fine too)
Grains and Cereals (whole grains, oats, high-fiber foods)
Dairy (skim milk, low-fat yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese (paneer) )
Proteins (eggs/egg whites, peanut butter, beans, nuts, sprouts, protein isolates)
So the rules for sending in an entry are as following:
1. Your breakfast should contain at least one item from the above list. But I'm really expecting all you fabulous foodies to come up with entrees that have more than 2 items from the list!
2. All dishes must be vegetarian; eggs and cheese is allowed, just no meat or seafood
3. Send me an email at tiffanysmealmakeover@gmail.com with your name, entry, picture of your dish and permalink to the post with the subject TMMbreakfast. Please link back to this announcement in your post.
4. Deadline for sending in entries is March 31st. The roundup will be done in the 1st week of April
You can count me in girl.
