Double Good Gluten-Free Quinoa Quiche

This amazing quinoa quiche combines 3 super-foods into one easy-to-make power breakfast! The eggs are packed with protein and healthy fats, particularly if you choose free-range or pastured eggs, or at least select omega-3 enriched eggs when free-range are not available. The quinoa gives you an extra hit of protein and omega-3 fats, plus some tummy-filling fibre to keep you full until lunch. Finally, the spinach gets you a vitamin-packed veggie serving before you're even out the door in the morning! All of this in one convenient slice that's easy to take on the go.

Energy Triple Threat: Roasted Squash, Quinoa & Kale Salad

Sound like a far cry from your usual breakfast on the go? Shocker: breakfast on the go doesn't have to be a nightmare of sugar and hydrogenated fat. Unless it's the day after your birthday (OK, anyone's birthday), in which case you should definitely eat a large piece of leftover cake with your hands, while standing in the kitchen waiting for your coffee to brew. This I know from personal experience. It is worth. it. Otherwise, there are plenty of make-ahead healthy options to kick your morning off right, and ensure your blood sugar levels and willpower stay level throughout the day.

The Calories You Burn In That Favourite Fitness Class

Pair it with some tomatoes or fresh fruit, or natural ham or bacon for an extra hit of protein. And don't even think about skimping on the butter and cheese - they don't add many calories on a per-slice basis, and they really amp up the flavour as well as the craving-busting fats.
