8fit Meal Plan Sneak Peek: Vegetarian

At 8fit, we believe in balanced eating with real food. Nature provides everything we need, and our job is to find the right proportions of proteins, carbs and fats to fuel our bodies and minds well. That said, not all macronutrients are created equal. Luckily, if you’re searching for balanced nutrition and flavorful meals, we’ve got you covered with the 8fit Pro meal plan.

Vegetarian breakfast ideas

Relive your younger years and indulge in pizza for breakfast – but this healthy version instead of last night’s leftovers! Who said healthy eating can’t be fun? If you’re short on time, save this for the weekend; we have dozens of breakfast recipes to choose from that can be prepared in seconds for busy weekdays.

Breakfast Pizza

12 min450 kcal

Ingredients

• 1 100 % whole grain tortilla (~1 ½ oz)
• 1 whole egg
• 1 oz cheddar cheese
• 1 cup arugula or rocket
• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tomato
• a pinch of salt and pepper

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C).
2. Wash the tomato and place it on its side so that the stem end faces to the left or right. Slice the tomato vertically.
3. Place your tortilla on a baking sheet and drizzle with half of the olive oil. Top with grated cheese. Bake until the tortilla is crispy, about 10 minutes.
4. While the tortilla is baking, fry your egg: place a small pan over medium heat and add the rest of the olive oil to the pan. When the pan is hot, crack the egg into the pan and cover. Sprinkle with salt and pepper once the egg starts to cook. When the white is cooked through (after roughly 5 minutes), remove the pan from heat and leave uncovered until your tortilla is ready.
5. Remove the tortilla from the oven when crispy and top with the arugula, tomato, and egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
6. Enjoy!

Vegetarian snack ideas

Most smoothies you’d buy in stores or shops are high in sugar and low in protein, so your best bet is to make your own. This one combines berries with the healthy omega-3 fatty acids found in flax seeds and lots of protein thanks to the addition of greek yogurt.
