Expect These Top Trends at Breakfast Restaurants in 2017
Will we be eating chocolate cake for breakfast in 2017?
Food is subject to trends, just like music, fashion and design. Here’s a quick look at the top trends you can expect to see on menus at breakfast restaurants in 2017.
Big Flavors and Textures. Forget simple and smooth items like eggs and grits. Breakfast in 2017 will be bolder in flavor and texture. Expect to see crunchy items like fried chicken on menus at breakfast restaurants as well as big flavors like chimichurri and spicy chorizo.
Breakfast All Day. This is something that many consumers have been wanting for a long time. Now that you can get breakfast all day under the “golden arches,” you can expect to see more and more places offering it as well. People enjoy breakfast foods at any time, especially if they skip breakfast but still have a hankering for eggs and bacon at 1:00 in the afternoon.
Healthy Options. As more and more people are prioritizing their health, or switching to specialized diets, you can expect breakfast restaurants to respond with expanded options in 2017. This includes choices such as gluten free, grain free, dairy free, vegan, vegetarian, high fiber, organic and more.
Chocolate. Recent studies linking chocolate to increased health benefits means that people may feel more prone to indulge in the sweet treat in the morning. You may see items like chocolate breakfast cakes popping up on menus in 2017.
Eat the Best Breakfast for Weight Loss in 2017
If you’re trying to lose weight, you might want to consider these healthy breakfast ideas for weight loss.
Did you make a New Year’s resolution to eat right and lose weight in 2017? If so, you’re in good company. According to 2015 research reported by Statistic Brain, 45% of Americans usually do make a New Year's resolution and losing weight comes in number one on the top ten list of the most popular.
If you’re on a mission to drop some pounds, you really want to make sure you eat the best breakfast for weight loss in 2017.
Here are some healthy items you’ll want to be sure to include in your best breakfast to keep you fueled for the day.
Raspberries – Just one cup contains 8 grams a fiber. Recent research in the Journal of Nutrition suggests eating more fiber can help prevent weight gain or encourage weight loss. Researchers found during the two-year study that increasing fiber by 8 grams for every 1,000 calories resulted in about 4 ½ pounds of weight lost. Pro-tip: put those raspberries on top of a bowl of oatmeal for added fiber and slow-release carbohydrates that won’t spike your insulin.
Yogurt – A Harvard report that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine listed yogurt as one of the top five foods that promote weight loss. Research shows that this high protein choice can help you lose weight and gain lean muscle mass. Be sure to choose low fat and low sugar options, such as non-fat plain Greek yogurt. Pump up the flavor with fresh fruit, like raspberries.
Eggs – They’re packed with protein and will help keep you full until your next meal. Besides that, eggs make for the best breakfast because they can be prepared in endless variations so you won’t get bored.
