Healthy Breakfast Ideas Archives

I didn’t know I was looking for a better-for-you pancake and waffle mix, however, now that I’ve discovered Flourish Pancakes, I simply can’t go back!

Flourish Pancakes Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix, a proudly Canadian brand (based right here in Toronto!), packs 23g of protein, 7g of fibre and contains ZERO added sugar per serving. Based on the ingredients alone (which are all-natural, and include organic and non-GMO foods), I feel amazing about serving Flourish Pancakes to my family. In fact, we were recently treated to the LIMITED EDITION Birthday Cake flavour (the company just turned two!) and the mix is even made with all-natural sprinkles, such as green sprinkles made with spirulina, which means they contain no artificial colours either!
We decided to use the mix to make waffles, and since I just needed to add water, prep work was a breeze. Skipping the syrup, we instead dipped our waffles in natural colour candy melts for a flash of colour and birthday fun. Aren’t they just too cute for words? …

Between shoveling snow, bundling up the kids and fighting traffic on cold-weather commutes, it can be tough to make time for breakfast on winter mornings. Trust me, I know! Bundling up both boys to drive 20 minutes to Ryder’s school… and back… every day… twice a day… is a chore. I often find myself skipping breakfast, but really hate succumbing to less-than-healthy fast food choices.

And just like that, the heavens parted… breakfast god, thy name is Tim Hortons.

Tim Hortons is helping Canadians and Americans get their mornings off to a smoother start with the NEW Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich, a satisfying, lean protein breakfast option under 350 calories.

Available at participating Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada and the US, the Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich is made fresh, served hot and can be ordered with egg and cheese on a toasted English muffin. This version of the sandwich has 330 calories, 20 grams of protein,14 grams of fat and is a good source of calcium and iron. For an even lower calorie choice, guests can order the Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich with an egg-white option, with just 280 calories, 9 grams of fat and the same amount of protein. Winning!
