What you eat for breakfast usually sets the tone for what you will consume for the rest of the day, so why not begin every day with something healthy?
Here are four ideas to get you into a healthy habit:
- A quick, easy and nutritious breakfast that involves apple slices and peanut butter gives you a healthy dose of fiber and protein to kick-start your day. Whether you have a moment to sit down to eat, or are in need of something portable, this two-ingredient breakfast can accommodate either option.
- Another two-ingredient snack that only requires one hand to eat? A That’s It. fruit bar. Packed with Vitamins A and C, calcium and essential minerals, it’s always a healthy choice. And with a variety to choose from like Apple + Strawberries, Apple + Cherries, Apple + Banana and many more, your taste buds will appreciate the diversity.
- With just a bit of preparation beforehand, you can have a toasty warm breakfast with minimum fuss. Boil an egg per serving the evening before and pop them in the refrigerator. In the morning, toast a slice of whole-wheat bread, slice one of the boiled eggs on top of it and cover the whole thing with a slice of low-fat cheese. Either give this a quick spin in the microwave or, if you have time, put it under the broiler until the cheese is melting and just beginning to brown.
- You can have several servings out of one set of ingredients with this next option. You will need a quart of unsweetened plain yogurt, a couple of bananas and a package of crumbly granola bars. For one serving, scoop out a cup of yogurt, slice half a banana into it, and crumble in half a granola bar. Delicious, nutritious, creamy and crunchy is an unbeatable combination.
Breakfast does not have to be a chore, and you do not need to skip it if you are in a rush. Having a few healthy options available that you can fix in a flash will start you off on the right foot every day.
