7 Easy Breakfast Ideas

Here is another idea how to start your day right. I do believe that eating breakfast is the way to make you successful in your day activities. Why? Because I can think well and I am not moody at all. Coffee makes me awake but would never feed the rest of my system. So hubby and I always have breakfast before we start our work.

So here is what I gather from my source. I just want to share this to all who may like the idea of breaking the fast before anything else.

Even if your morning schedule is packed, you can still have a healthy breakfast and get out the door on time. Get off to a good start with these quick and easy options:

1. Blend fruit and yogurt for a smoothie - you can even drink it on the go. Using frozen mixed berries or other fruit from your freezer can save prep time.

2. Grab a high-protein boiled egg and a slice of fruit. Did you know that three to four eggs per week can be part of a heart-healthy diet?

3. Toast whole-wheat bread and top with peanut butter or hummus. pair it with an apple. (An apple a day drives the doctor away.)

4. Bake high-fiber muffins and freeze some for later. Eat with yogurt and a banana.

5. Try a breakfast wrap: leftover baked turkey or chicken with low-fat cheese rolled inside a whole wheat tortilla. Or try freshly cut or canned fruit and low-fat cream cheese. Add vegetable juice for a balanced meal.

6. Make a quick-broil mini pizza with whole-wheat English muffins, sliced tomatoes or tomato sauce, low-fat cheese, and lean ham or chicken sausage. Finish with a glass of orange juice.

7. Top high-fiber cereal or waffle with blueberries, yogurt and sliced almonds.

Make it happen. Plan in advance. Stock up on ingredients and cook on the weekend so you can have a nutritious beginning every weekday morning.
