Jivita Fam, Let’s Talk Breakfast (AKA the Meal That Saves You From Hanger)
We need to have a serious chat about breakfast. Specifically, why so many of us skip it (guilty!) or grab something that leaves us hungry 10 minutes later. If you’re over the mid-morning energy crash and looking for brekkie ideas that are actually satisfying, packed with protein, and don’t taste like sadness—welcome, you’re in the right place.
I’ve been testing some gems, and let me tell you—I was not ready for how good these turned out. Whether you’re into savoury, sweet, or ‘oops, I ate it straight from the bag,’ I’ve got you covered. Let’s dig in.
🥓 Bacon-Wrapped Protein Muffins (GF, DF & Ridiculously Good) 🥓
These little flavour bombs are everything you want in a breakfast: protein-packed, easy to meal prep, and so delicious you’ll forget they’re also good for you.
Bacon-Wrapped Egg Muffins (GF, DF & Protein-Packed)
These little protein bombs are perfect for meal prep, easy to grab on busy mornings, and packed with nutrients to keep you full and energised. Plus, they help use up those last bits of veggies hanging out in your fridge—no waste, just deliciousness!
Ingredients:
✅ 6 eggs (pasture-raised if possible—your body will thank you)
✅ 6 slices of bacon (get the good stuff, no seed oils!)
✅ ½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
✅ ½ small capsicum, finely diced
✅ ¼ small onion, finely diced
✅ ½ tsp smoked paprika and the same of dried oregano
✅ Salt & pepper to taste
✅ Bonus veggies: Any extras in your fridge—mushrooms, zucchini, cherry tomatoes… toss ‘em in!
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin or use silicone liners.
2️⃣ Line each muffin cup with a strip of bacon, creating a little nest of smoky goodness.
3️⃣ Whisk eggs in a bowl with paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the spinach, capsicum, onion, and any extra veggies you’re using.
4️⃣ Pour the egg mixture into each bacon-lined cup, filling about ¾ of the way (they puff up a little while baking).
5️⃣ Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the bacon is crisp.
6️⃣ Cool slightly, then devour—or store in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go breakfast all week!
🔥 Pro Tip: These reheat beautifully in the air fryer or oven, and you can even freeze them.
Enjoy your protein-packed, bacon-wrapped greatness! 🚀 Honestly - these surprised me how good they were.
🔥 Why they rock: These are high in protein and healthy fats, which means you stay fuller way longer than if you grabbed a sad piece of toast. They’re also easy to make in batches, so you can grab & go. No excuses, my delicious friends.
🥣 Overnight Protein Oats (for the Lazy & the Wise) 🥣
If cooking in the morning is a no from you, then let me introduce you to your new bestie: overnight oats. They soak while you sleep, so you can roll out of bed and eat like a nutritional genius with zero effort.
What’s inside?
-
GF oats (complex carbs = sustained energy, no sugar crashes) and bonus-glyphosate free!
-
Collagen (because we love our joints, skin, and gut)
-
Nuts & seeds (healthy fats + protein = chef’s kiss)
-
Dates & fruit (natural sweetness + fiber)
-
Monk fruit (if you’re feeling extra sweet)
🔥 Why they rock: This bowl is stacked with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, meaning you’ll feel full and satisfied without the mid-morning snack panic. Plus, it tastes like dessert—what’s not to love?
🍋 Food to Nourish Clusters (or, “Oops, I Ate the Whole Bag” Energy Bites) 🍋
Let’s be honest: sometimes breakfast doesn’t even make it into a bowl. And that’s okay, because the Food to Nourish Clusters exist.
My current obsession? Lemon & Blueberry. The lemon flavour is insane—zingy, fresh, and straight-up addictive.
🔥 Why they rock: These little bites are organic, nutrient-dense, and perfect for when you need something now. High in protein, good fats, and fiber, they actually fuel you instead of just giving you a quick sugar rush. (Also, no seed oils, because duh—you know how we roll.)
Final Thoughts (AKA Why You Shouldn’t Skip Brekkie Again)
We’ve covered the bases: savoury, sweet, and straight-from-the-bag goodness. These breakfasts will keep you fuelled, happy, and far away from that hanger life.
Which one are you trying first? Let me know—unless you’re too busy demolishing a bacon-wrapped muffin (understandable). 🚀
