Maintaining a heart-healthy diet while decreasing weight supports cardiovascular health. Weight loss can be supported by these heart-healthy breakfast options:
Oatmeal with Berries and Nuts: Cook old-fashioned oats with water or unsweetened almond milk, then top with strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries and chopped nuts. Oats include soluble fiber, which lowers cholesterol, berries have antioxidants, and nuts contain heart-healthy fats.
Greek Yogurt Parfait: Top non-fat Greek yogurt with bananas or berries and granola or nuts. Greek yogurt has protein to keep you full, fruits have vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and nuts have healthy fats.
Add mashed avocado and sliced tomatoes on whole grain bread. Add a little sea salt and black pepper. Avocados include heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while tomatoes give vitamins and antioxidants.
Vegetable Omelette: Use egg whites or entire eggs to make an omelette. Add sautéed spinach, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Serve with whole grain bread or fresh fruit for a healthy breakfast.
Mix spinach, frozen berries, banana, unsweetened almond milk, and a scoop of protein powder in a smoothie. For fiber and omega-3s, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia seeds. Smoothies are a portable source of nutrients.
Add chia seeds to unsweetened almond milk and a little honey or maple syrup for pudding. Put the mixture in the fridge overnight to thicken into pudding. Sprinkle nuts or seeds and sliced fruit over top for texture and taste.
Delicious, fulfilling, and nutritious, these heart-healthy breakfast options are ideal for weight loss and cardiovascular health. Enjoy a nutritious start to your day by customizing them to your tastes and diet!
