How To Enjoy Brunch Without Feeling Guilty!


If eating out stresses you out, these tips are for you! Going out for a meal with friends, a date, or family should never be a point of tension. There are plenty of ways to healthify existing restaurant dishes so that you can enjoy your time together and your food. If you’re always sulking looking at menus feeling like you have to choose between sweet and savory, fear no more. With the following tips, you’ll be eating out without the guilt in no time.

1. Hash it out


Instead of breakfast potatoes or hashbrowns, swap out the tots for tomatoes or avocado (or both!). Since most breakfast potatoes are either fried or soaked in oil before cooking, they end up having a high fat and calorie content. Swapping them out for veggies such as tomatoes or avocado slices, which are prevalent in most breakfast recipes anyway, should be no problem. Especially if you ask politely. Plus, they go just as well with runny eggs as hashbrowns do!

2. Sweet swap


If you love oatmeal but don’t want the sugar rush, opt for cinnamon and bananas or raisins instead of brown sugar. Brown sugar is white sugar with molasses, aka more sugar, coated over it. Talk about a sugar overload! Fruit and cinnamon spice are an easy way to flavor your oats without adding too much sugar, plus they provide more nutrients. If you absolutely need a sweet something, swap the sugar for honey or maple syrup which are at least two natural sweeteners.

3. Holy bagel


If you can’t imagine having a bagel and not feeling guilty, gather ‘round. One easy way to reduce the calories of a bagel is to ask for it scooped. A scooped bagel is exactly what it sounds like. All the fluffy insides, scooped out. This reduces a bagel’s calories by, wait for it… half. Yes, half! Stuff it with lox, capers, and tomatoes and you’ve got yourself a pretty balanced bagel, if we ever saw one.

4. Two’s a party


When celebrations are in order, it’s hard to want to choose the healthy option. You want to eat the damn cake! We get it. You should never feel guilty for honoring your accomplishments, but there are ways to feel better about indulging. The easiest way to order the stack o’ flapjacks without feeling totally glutinous is to share! It shouldn’t be too hard to convince anyone to split a stack with you. Plus, you’re more likely to be conservative with your bites. Another hack that we absolutely love is to swap out maple syrup for orange wedges. Squeeze the slices over the top of your pancakes for a sweet and tangy alternative to syrup. You can thank us later.

3 Healthy Brunch Recipes


Healthy brunch is not an oxymoron. You can still have cravable, Instagram-worthy food without feeling like you’re cheating on your workouts. Eggwhite scrambles and smoothies are not your only breakfast option when trying to stay fit. Mimosas aren’t even off the table. In fact, our healthy peachy mimosa recipe is a double-whammy of SkinnyFit Detox tea and champagne. Balance is key, as you’ve probably heard a million times before. Leaning to one side of a seesaw for too long will make stepping to the other side feel drastic. When you’re able to teeter somewhere in the middle, your body will feel a much deeper sense of equilibrium. There’s no use, or benefit, in feeling regret or shame after a meal spent with friends or family. Allow yourself to focus on the connection and nourishment happening, not stressing about how many miles you’ll have to run to burn it all off.

Luckily, there are tons of ways to make your favorite breakfast items healthier by simply swapping out certain ingredients with healthier ones. My favorite way to “healthify” a meal is with Super Youth collagen. It’s literally this insane, magical age-defying powder that can be added (unnoticed!) into A N Y T H I N G. Since sneaking it into my smoothies, pancake mixes, guacamole—literally everything—I have noticed firmer, youthful skin and nearly non-existent cellulite. So, believe me when I say this is a magical powder, it’s so 👏 freakin’ 👏effective.

With that said, here are three healthy brunch recipes you can easily make at home that you won’t feel guilty about! 

 

Avocado Toast Recipe

This avocado toast remix is anything but basic. If you’re a breakfast tacos, huevos rancheros orderer, then this Mexican Street Corn Avocado toast will hit the spot. It’s the perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, and zesty. You can either buy store-bought fire-roasted corn or you can make your own by simply heating corn kernels over a skillet and adding seasonings like cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. However you spice it up, this is one of our healthy brunch recipes that you’ll be craving all week long.
