September marks Better Breakfast Month and that means pwede pa habulin ang New Year’s Resolution for a healthy lifestyle, mga mamsh!
Contrary to popular belief, breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. Experts now say that keeping a healthy level of satiation aka having light bites spread throughout the day is better.
The problem is that the Filipino diet leans toward rice as the main carbohydrate source and revolves around meals. It's so easy to go overboard when rice is your staple! That’s why it's the first thing that’s eliminated when trying to slim down.
If you are in need of portion control but still need your carbohydrates, sandwiches are the way to go! You get a wider range of choices from whole wheat, oat and nut breads, and more. Most of all, they’re perfect whether you’re at home or on the go!
Bread comes in all shapes, sizes, and ingredients. You can portion it in advance as big or as small as you like.
Healthy Waffle Tacos
The most fun option, the most breakfast-y, but probably the most guilt-inducing on this list. Waffle tacos and sandwiches turn the breakfast staple on its head and give it a creative and slightly naughty spin.
They make great substitutes for the usual bread option if you want to limit your carbohydrates but not too strict with everything else. The sweet, airy, and crisp waffles will give you satisfaction at first bite no matter what filling you put in.
When used as sandwich buns, the slots of the waffle are perfect for savory saucy fillings like barbecue pulled pork. If you cook your waffles right, the crispy exterior won’t absorb sauces right away giving you extra juicy bites.
So whether you prefer them sweet or savory, waffles will definitely give any baon major breakfast vibes.
Whole Wheat Pressed Sandwiches
We go the other direction and head to the healthiest option on the list. So maybe you have more leeway for your fillings? Whole wheat sandwiches work best with fresh leafy salads and dressing.
Studies show that eating whole wheat breads help with weight management. One serving can fill you up and because whole wheat bread has more dietary fiber, you feel full for a longer period of time, preventing overeating.
For more traditional breakfast bread choices, most bakeries offer whole wheat pandesal now too!
Pressed Wraps
If you find sandwiches too unruly and fillings keep falling out, then perhaps wraps are the better choice for you! Healthy breakfast burritos or kebab-inspired baon, anyone?
Wraps also come in different types like whole wheat, flour, or corn and each one of them has distinct taste profiles and characteristics that you can experiment with.
Make wraps with your favorite sandwich fillers or find out of the box ingredients. You can make them tight like burritos or super loose like tacos!
The best thing about wraps is that they are easy to make at home! Wraps are basically flatbreads and unlike regular breads don’t need as much attention and specialized equipment. Wraps can be cooked on a stovetop and stored for future use. You’ll have more control on what goes into your main carb source and how big you want your servings to be.
Just make sure to practice your wrapping skills!
