About Belizean Food
Since Belize is a melting pot of cultures, the food here is incredibly diverse. In every meal, you’ll experience tastes of African, Mayan, and Caribbean influence. Made from fresh and naturally organic foods, the dishes in Belize will have you coming back for more.
But just like any other place, breakfast in Belize is an important start to the day. You won’t want to skip it while staying in our Belize eco lodge!
What Is a Belizean Breakfast?
While the food in Belize is delicious, breakfast is surely one of the most treasured meals of the day. With a true Belizean breakfast, you’ll have everything you need to fuel your mind and body for all the adventures ahead. Here’s what you can expect to start your day with while you’re vacationing in Belize.
Protein
Eggs are naturally a healthy part of breakfast in Belize. They are often served with bacon or sausage, though if you want to eat Mayan style, add tomatoes. Additionally, you’ll also find refried beans with your Belizean breakfast. The beans are slowly cooked with onions and herbs for a truly inviting aroma.
If you are feeling adventurous, you may even opt for fish along with your breakfast. Belizean breakfasts may include this or offer it as an option instead of eggs.
Carbs
While beans, eggs with or without tomatoes, and meats sound hearty enough, Belizeans enjoy carbs with their breakfast. You can choose from tortillas, johnny cakes, or fry jacks. Johnny cakes are a type of biscuit while fry jacks are fried bits of dough that puff up like little pillows of heavenly delight. They’re similar to a beignet and utterly delicious. You can eat them as-is or rip them open and stuff them with your other breakfast items.
Flavorful Additions
Condiments like hot sauce are a staple for Belizean breakfast. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to not find a bottle of hot sauce at the table. Habanero salsa is also served, adding another dimension of flavors to your breakfast plate.
Something Sweet
American travelers enjoy both sweet and savory breakfast options. A Belizean breakfast will not disappoint! You can find tropical fruits, fruit pies, and papaya jam to enjoy with your first meal of the day. Jams are another amazing way to elevate the already-scrumptious taste of fry jacks too!
Beverages
Belizeans tend to drink instant coffee at breakfast though you may be able to find brewed coffee. Either way, if you’re used to your morning cup of joe, you’ll find it here.
The Belizean Breakfast Dining Experience
For a true breakfast like a Belizean, it is encouraged to sit, linger, and enjoy. Eating out in the open amid the natural surroundings, listening to nature’s glory reminds you to slow down.
And aren’t you on vacation anyway? Take your time and savor the moment. Having breakfast here gives you the chance to engage all of your senses in the most epic of ways.
