Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and what you eat can make a big difference in your energy level throughout the rest of the day.
Having a nutritious breakfast can help you stay focused and energized all day long, which is essential for your productivity and mental health. Having a breakfast that is healthy, nutritious, and delicious doesn’t have to be difficult.
Butcher’s Daughter
A health-conscious cafe, juice bar and a self-described “vegetable slaughterhouse,” Butcher’s Daughter approaches fruits and vegetables as a butcher would meat: chopping, filleting, carving and pressing them into healthy vegetarian dishes and pretty juices. The restaurant is committed to buying produce from local and organic farms, incorporating seasonal fruits and vegetables into their signature dishes, juices and cocktails.
A longtime Abbot Kinney Blvd presence and favorite among the locals, Butcher’s Daughter is the place to get your morning elixir shot and a hearty breakfast. The menu brims with delectable eats such as the Spinach and Mushroom Frittata and Dolce Picante Pizza (stilton blue cheese, amber honey, bosc pear, fig mustard, red chile flakes, arugula). In addition to its signature offerings, the shop also stocks house label products including a vegan candle line and all-natural bath and body line. The most impressive part is that it’s all located in a space with interior aesthetics that make your jaw drop as much as the produce does.
Egg Shop
Eggs are an easy and healthy way to start the day. They’re packed with protein and essential vitamins to fuel your mornings and help you get through the day with energy and motivation.
They can be hard cooked to add a protein boost, or scrambled for a hot and nutritious breakfast. They are also a great source of Omega-3s and beneficial fats, making them an ideal addition to a morning snack or meal.
The shop opened almost two years ago on Smith Street, Collingwood, but when their lease ended in April, co-owners Greg Papas and Jana Andrianopoulos decided to take the concept back to its roots and open a new, larger Egglab on Johnston Street. It’s a much more modern, streamlined space than their original, and the interior is largely designed by Andrianopoulos’ friend Nic Morgante (who also runs Camberwell cafe The Bakers Wife and Balwyn North patisserie Tatin). You can expect the usual breakfast burgers, plus breakfast bowls, toasts and other breakfast dishes.
Eggland’s Best
One of the best places to start your day is with a quality, high-protein breakfast. While you’re at it, be sure to include a healthy serving of fruits and veggies in your morning routine as well. This will ensure you’re ready to tackle the day with a happy and healthy head on. With that said, deciding on which type of breakfast to choose can be a daunting task. The good news is that there are several high-quality breakfast options in your local area that will not break the bank. The best part is that they are easy to make and require little to no prep time.
McDonald’s
Whether you’re in the mood for an Egg McMuffin, a Big Mac or French fries, McDonald’s is a great place to grab a quick breakfast. It offers a number of healthy options that will keep you satisfied all morning and help you stay on track with your diet.
There are several options on the menu that can fit into your daily calorie limit, including the Fruit and Maple Oatmeal and the Sausage Burrito. These meals can help you eat more protein and fiber, while reducing your fat intake.
However, you should always choose the lowest-calorie option that fits your meal plan. Some of the best low-calorie items are the Egg White Delight, the Sausage McMuffin and the Fruit and Maple Oatmeal. Having these items on hand will save you hundreds of calories and help you stick to your diet.
