 I'm really in love with breakfast that is easy, especially since my mornings are so crazy! I'm up at 4AM to workout, and then after working out, I "work" for a few hours before noshing on breakfast. Sometimes, I get hungry while working and it is such a lifesaver to have something portable.
My new favorite grab it and eat breakfast is the burrito. I don't eat grains like wheat, so I usually wrap mine up in a collard leaf, but I've included a tortilla in this recipe because tortillas are just so darn delicious. You can make this egg burrito several days in advance. I make a few of them at a time so there is always something in the fridge.  The Center for Disease and Prevention reports that 16% of American children are overweight and obese, while one-third of the children consume a fast food meal at least once per day. The downfall of proper nutrition and the rise in childhood obesity are forcing the medical field and parents to find a healthier alternative to a meat-based diet.
 Curry gets in a lot of trouble for having a heavy fat content and loads of calories, but you know what we like to say over here at Nutrition Feminist? Screw that notion. Why? Fat is good for you. It is necessary for a healthy body in so many ways that we wonder how somebody thought it would be okay to say that fat was bad for you.
Fun Facts About Fat
With all of that good ju-ju, we wanted to celebrate cauliflower red curry because it is packed with smart fats, vitamin A, potassium, protein, vitamin C, calcium and iron. Do we need to go on? And our cauliflower curry only has nine grams of fat per serving. It won't bust your diet to shreds; in fact, it can fit into even the lowest-of-the-low low-fat diet. Dig in!  Summertime means heat. And heat means that cooking isn't so much fun as it is when it's freezing outside. To keep you healthy and lean without slaving over the stove this summer, sip on this smoothie for breakfast or after a workout.
 The quickest way to gain weight is a havoc-induced trip to the local grocery store to buy and then consume a pint of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (unless you are a Cherry Garcia sort of person). Hello 1,500 calories. Goodbye workout efforts. Repeat after me: Snacking is unnecessary.
How you do solve the "snacking" problem? Have on-the-go prepacked meals ready to go in the fridge. Prepacked meals are ideal because they are easy to take with you when you know you won't be home in time to stave off an empty belly. Flexible meals can be packed into bento boxes, Tupperware, or any other storage containers that you have. Segment the portions using little cups, containers or plastics bags.  Banana bread is special treat, or at least it used to be. We hacked up our old banana bread recipes and came up with this gooey, healthy banana bread that deserves to be eaten every morning.

 Pancakes for breakfast? Talk about our kind of morning! And yes, sometimes we put maple syrup and butter on our pancakes! And that's okay. We call this a Sunday morning breakfast after a long week or working out and being busy. Because we all know that we are busy, and that we deserve a little sweetness added to our lives.
Our pancakes combine rich nondairy yogurt, juicy blueberries and the warmth of nutmeg. The result? Pancakes that are light fluffy and protein-rich.  Build a better day with a protein-packed breakfast that isn't loaded with eggs. After all, eggs, if you consume them, can get mundane.

Soak your beans the night before and use them in the morning. In the morning, you can choose to make your beans in a traditional stockpot or add everything into a crockpot and let it cook all day.  Bagels. The ultimate carbohydrate-loaded treat. But what do you with a bagel when you've gone vegan? Cream cheese, the all-time most popular topping of all time is out of the question.
