Are you one of this person who has no time in the morning and struggle what to eat before hitting to the gym? Protein shakes, oat meals, energy bars, are you tired of them?
I have a great solution for someone who wants to have a quick, powerful, yummy and easy to prepare breakfast! One of my favorites and the simplest – banana omelette.
I love this recipe as it is very easy to prepare and taste delicious any time of the year. I have it usually before going to the gym early in the morning when I need fast and light source of energy.
It is based on two, actually 3 great ingredients:
- bananas – provide you great source of easy digestible carbohydrates. Bananas are good for your heart. They are packed with potassium. Bananas are also packed with fiber, which boosts satiety and improves digestive health.
- eggs – undoubtedly one of the most nutritious foods around! They are loaded with several vitamins and contain high-quality protein. Most of the nutrients are in the yolk, which consists mostly of fat. Meanwhile, the white contains mostly protein. One large egg contains 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein.
- coconut oil – another one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Coconut oil benefits and uses go beyond what most people realize, as coconut oil is a true superfood. The secrets to this amazing superfood are healthy fats called medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). Coconut oil increase “good” HDL cholesterol in your body and help convert the “bad” LDL cholesterol into a less harmful form.
