5 Italian-Inspired Breakfast Ideas by Massimo Massaro for Losing Weight
In Italy, breakfast is colazione, and it sets up the rest of the day. A filling, flavourful breakfast helps with weight loss. Here are five with an Italian touch.
1. Protein frittata Italiana
Egg whites with basil, oregano, peppers, onion and tomato, topped with a sprinkle of low-fat mozzarella.
2. Anabolic ciambella
A lighter version of the traditional cake, with protein powder, oat flour and Greek yoghurt. Enjoy it with an espresso.
3. Verdure omelette
Egg whites with spinach, courgette and asparagus, finished with a little low-fat Parmigiano Reggiano.
4. Protein smoothie bowl alla frutta
Blend protein powder, a frozen banana, unsweetened almond milk and a dash of amaretto extract. Top with figs, cherries or apricots and chopped almonds.
5. Overnight protein oats with a twist
Rolled oats, protein powder, unsweetened almond milk and a little honey, with espresso powder or vanilla. Chill overnight and top with berries.
