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
healthy breakfast 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.
1. 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 healthy breakfast idea when you are running late.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
Try a few of these healthy breakfast 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.
