Breakfast

Eating a healthy breakfast is important for losing weight. If you don’t get a good breakfast you’re going to end up over eating later. It’s easy to skip preparing a healthy breakfast and grab a donut or sugary breakfast instead. The easiest way to avoid the temptation is to plan ahead!

These great little muffins are perfect because you can make a bunch up ahead of time, wrap them, and keep them in the freezer. Just reheat them in the morning and you’re all set!

Grapefruit is a great addition to a breakfast or snack but it gets kind of boring eating plain grapefruit all of the time, even with how healthy and low calorie it is. Try this to spruce up your grapefruit! You’ll never want to eat it plain again.

Ingredients

  • 1 chilled grapefruit, cut in half
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp honey

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler and spray your baking sheet with a bit of cooking spray.
  2. Prop the grapefruit up so they are peel down on the sheet. You may need to use rolled up foil to get them to stand up.
  3. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the grapefruit halves.
  4. Drizzle honey over both of them.
  5. Broil for 5 minutes or until becoming slightly darkened.
