Tired of eating plain old oatmeal? Unsure of eating beans for breakfast? Here’s a tip that I use to spice up our morning meal by giving it an interesting texture — and getting a jump start on our daily fiber.

Mix 1/4 cup portion of hot cooked steelcut oat/groat oatmeal with 1/4 cup portion of hot breakfast beans in a bowl. Top it all off with a little sugar-free pancake syrup, 1/4 cup of low calorie almond milk, and 1/4 cup of fresh strawberries.

One of the secrets to the success of this great breakfast combination is cooking a batch of oatmeal and a batch of breakfast beans weekly, portioning 1/4 cup sizes into microwavable custard cups, and storing them in the refrigerator and freezer. It just takes a few minutes to heat them up in the microwave.

BREAKFAST OATS/GROATS
(use rice steamer or stove top method)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups oats
1/2 cup groats (or mixed whole grain berries)
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
1 chicken boullion cube
7 cups water
Mix all ingredients and cook. Rice Steamer Method: set timer for 1 hour. Stovetop Method: cook 15-20 minutes, or until groats are just tender.
Portion 1/4 cup servings into custard cups. Cover with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator or freezer.

VARIETY BREAKFAST BEANS
Quick stovetop method.
Ingredients:
2 (16 oz.) cans great northern beans
3 (16 oz.) cans pinto beans
1 (16 oz.) can red beans
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion power
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (opt.)
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chilli powder
1 1/2 cups water
Drain and rinse beans. Combine all ingredients in large saucepan and cook until hot.
Portion 1/4 cup servings into custard cups. Cover with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator or freezer.

We love the flavor and texture of this combination. You’ll experience a little “heat”, great texture, and burst of flavor. My husband says, “Deeeelicious!”

There is a difference. Breakfast literally means “breaking fast”. It is the meal that brings you out of the fasting state. This is important as a prolonged fasting state will activate the starvation response. So if your first proper meal in the day is lunch instead of breakfast, you would have probably gone between 12 to 15 hours without a meal. Your body is going to think that there is a shortage of food. Its going to try and reduce your metabolism to cope with the food shortage. As a result of this, more lunch calories will be stored as fat. Research has shown that eating small meals through out the day keeps the metabolism revving. So it is definitely beneficial to have breakfast. You could try instead to reduce your dinner portion.

One of my concerns with breakfast is I don’t seem to eat any less through the rest of the day so it seems like I actually consume more calories when breakfast is added .If anything, breakfast triggers hunger pangs for lunch much earlier in the day! What do you say to that?

Thanks for your comments Ibrahim. This is a habit that we could all benefit from. Once the habit is firmly ingrained, it becomes second nature as you have so rightfully pointed out.

Oh my, Speaking for myself, I cannot begin my day without a hearty, satisfying breakfast!
So I think I have to agree with Paramjit, that it a matter of acquiring a good habit, until you can’t do without it!

Thank you very much for your comment. You have a valid point that it may give some people an excuse to eat more calories. But when people skip breakfast, they go for a long period without food and the body thinks that it is in starvation mode. It does not take much calories to pile on fat. Also missing meals is not a sustainable long term solution. While I respect your view points, obesity could also be a result of information overload or misinformation. people have access to all this information and are paralyzed and don’t know what to do.

You have just unleashed the beast with this report. Now fat people have another excuse to consume even MORE calories. There argument will be that they are eating huge breakfasts to “lose weight” I really dislike obese people. They are weak and have no self control. And like alcoholism, it is NOT a disease. a disease is something that invades your body with no control by you. There is nothing that you can do to prevent yourself from getting malaria if a mosquito bites you. If you don’t start consuming alchohol, you will never get the “disease” It’s all bullshit..
