Look, we all know skipping breakfast is a bad idea, but eating unhealthy is simply sabotage. That’s why I have got you the best calorie-deficient recipes, which are loaded with nutrients.
People who are on a weight loss journey should start jotting these calorie deficit recipes because the list will keep you sorted for your breakfast meals at least for a week.
Plus, you also get a bonus recipe to headstart the following week.
1. Mango Pineapple Smoothie
Let’s start with a recipe which is loved globally by people of all ages, i.e, mango pineapple smoothie. Made with easy-to-find ingredients i.e, mango and pineapple, this vibrant and fresh Mango and pineapple smoothie bowl will keep you full till lunch.
Having only 34 calories, this mango-pineapple smoothie bowl will motivate you to continue this journey without compromising the taste.
2. Strawberry Banana Smoothie
If you are not in the mood for a mango smoothie early in the morning, then try out a strawberry banana smoothie. This particular smoothie recipe is from McDonald’s. Now I know you might think that fast food restaurants do not provide anything healthy. However, this drink is different.
Not only is this drink calorie-deficient, but it is also rich in macro and micronutrients. Vegans, vegetarians, and keto lovers can try this smoothie blindly for a calorie-deficient breakfast.
3. Acai Bowl
Now that I have talked about Kourtney, let’s focus on the other sister, Kim Kardashian. Working out six days a week, Kim likes to have a calorie-deficient Acai Bowl in the morning.
Kim shared on her Instagram that she enjoys an Acai Bowl with fruits, topped with granola and coconut flakes. To cut off even more calories, you can skip adding the granola and enjoy your acai bowl with the fruit puree along with toppings of choice. Any time, I make this, I also like to add chia seeds to it.
4. Coffee Overnight Oats
I bet whenever you scroll for healthy breakfast ideas, you will always find “coffee overnight oats” in it. Popular for a reason, this recipe involves no cooking in the morning. Simply, grab a spoon, scoop out these overnight oats, and go about your day.
Being a trending recipe for calorie-deficient audiences, you will find tons of recipes on it. However, I make mine using rolled oats, milk of choice, brewed coffee, yoghurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla essence. True coffee lovers can skip their coffee with this recipe.
5. Chia Seed Pudding
Since the last two recipes had chia seeds in them, here is another overnight recipe with chia seeds for the win. Requiring chia seeds and milk of choice, this 2-ingredient calorie-deficient breakfast is highly recommended for an effortless morning.
Usually, I do use almond milk or soy milk, hence my chia seed pudding turns out a bit sweet, but if you are using regular milk, you can add honey for sweetness.
6. Tofu Scramble
Let’s drop a vegan calorie-deficient breakfast idea. Introducing vegans’ top favorite, which is tofu scramble. You make this like any regular scramble. Add tofu to a pan, break it using a spatula, add onions, tomatoes, and spices of your choice. A little bit of spinach also does not hurt anybody.
Defining low calorie, yet fulfilling, while also being highly addictive, have this once and you will be hooked forever.
7. Protein Pancakes
Clean eating with low calories doesn’t have to be boring, and protein pancakes are here to prove it. Made with a scoop of protein powder, banana, and egg, this recipe is not restricted to gym people only. If you want to lose weight and reduce your calorie intake, then these protein pancakes will be a game-changer for you.
8. Zucchini Hash
While following this calorie-deficient diet, I know you ight be missing some of your favourite snacks. Mine is hash browns, but to make it fit into this diet, I make zucchini hash. Made with the underrated vegetable, zucchini, these hash recipes have the same crispiness as it.
This recipe calls for grated zucchini, eggs, black pepper, and salt. Start by adding zucchini to a well-heated pan, add black pepper and salt, and toss it well. Finally, make holes in the zucchini, add eggs, and let it crisp up. Once done, enjoy your morning with a low-calorie veggie breakfast.
