Quick and Healthy Breakfast Ideas

We all KNOW that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but do we all eat it?   The we make the mistake thinking that if we don't eat breakfast, we will lose weight....NOT TRUE!  Here's a few of my favorites, feel free to add any suggestions as well!

Banana in a Multigrain flatout wrap with 1 tbsp Natural PB

Lowfat or nonfat Greek yogurt ( I like Chobani) mixed with 1/2 cup Grape Nuts or other cereal low in sugar, high in Fiber. 

Egg whites cooked with a little lowfat cheese wrapped in a flatout wrap (yes, I LOVE flatout wraps!)

Fruit smoothies are good too.  Add some of your favorite fruits with nonfat Greek yogurt, skim milk, add some ground flaxseeds, ice and blend!

Cereals are okay, just READ the labels!  They should be high in Dietary fiber and LOW in sugar.  Plus make sure to measure out the cereal. 

Whole wheat english muffin (or piece of bread) toasted with 1 tbsp Almond butter or 1 tbsp Natural PB. 

Lowfat cottage cheese with yogurt and fruit. 

An apple a day...no but apples are a GREAT fruit for first thing in the am, add a small handful of raw almonds or a lowfat cheese stick. 

Like pancakes or waffles?  Well make them from WHOLE Grain flour and instead of using sugar, I mean syrup, spread a little natural PB or Almond butter on them. 

Not a breakfast person?  Hey, if you can stomach normal healthy foods in the am, then go for it!  Breakfast is the healthiest meal of the day, your body needs good fuel to keep you going, so feed it right!  :)

Please feel free to add any other suggestions!
