5 Quick and Healthy Breakfast Ideas
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that
women who skip breakfast consume an average of 100 calories more than those who
eat breakfast. Enjoying a healthy breakfast in the morning will also keep your
blood sugar levels even, which will help you stay more alert and in a better
mood.
With
our busy lives, it is sometimes hard to find the time to fix breakfast in the
morning. Here are a few quick ideas that take hardly any time at all to prepare
and most of them you can carry with you and enjoy on your way to work or when
you get there.
-
Whole grain cereal
with skim milk
All you need is a bowl and a spoon. This should take you about 1 minute to
prepare and 5 minutes to eat. A nice and easy breakfast idea when you are
running late.
-
Breakfast Parfait
You can make your own healthy version of the breakfast parfait. Put some low-fat
vanilla yogurt in a container. Keep some snack-sized bags of granola in your
pantry and some small bags of frozen berries in your freezer. Or use fresh fruit
when available. Just grab everything as you head out the door and enjoy your
parfait at work.
-
Whole Wheat Bagel with
Peanut Butter (add a piece of fruit)
Toast a whole-wheat bagel with some peanut butter for a filling breakfast. Grab
a piece of “portable” fruit such as an apple or a banana before you leave the
house and breakfast is done.
-
Boiled Egg Sandwich
Keep a few boiled eggs in your fridge for a protein rich and filling egg
sandwich for breakfast. Just slice the egg on some honey wheat bread and
sprinkle a little salt on top. If you’d like you can add a small amount of
mayonnaise as well.
-
Breakfast Smoothie
Breakfast Smoothies were invented for busy people. Pour some milk or yogurt and
juice in your blender and toss in some berries or a banana and a scoop of
protein powder. There are many other great recipes available. Pick up your
free healthy breakfast smoothie e-book here.
Try a
few of these ideas and you’ll find yourself more alert and in a better mood in
the morning. Starting your day off right, will also help you snack less during
the day and will keep your metabolism running high. No more excuses to skip
breakfast – just spend a few minutes each morning putting one of these meals
together.
