5 Quick and Healthy Breakfast Tips

Category: quick meal ideas

I’m wonder if you understand just how important it is to eat breakfast every morning. You should never start your day without eating breakfast. If you go the whole morning without eating, then when it comes time to eat lunch your more likely to over eat to compensate for the extra hunger. Because your metabolism hasn’t been given a kick start by not eating breakfast, this means that you’re also more likely to not burn those calories. Which also means that they’ll end up being turned to fat and stored somewhere on your body where you don’t want them.

Thus, you want to make sure and eat breakfast every morning. The following is a list of quick breakfast ideas to help ensure that you don’t skip the most important meal of the day ever again.

Quick and Healthy Breakfast Tip #1 Cereal

It was a great way to start your day when you were a kid and it’s still just as effective now that you’re an adult. However, you’ll want to avoid the cereal that’s high in sugar. A healthy bowl of cereal contains a whole grain cereal, such as Cheerios and a small amount of low fat or non fat skim milk.

Quick and Healthy Breakfast Tip #2 Parfait

No, this doesn’t mean take a trip through a McDonald’s drive thru. It means that you make your own healthy version of it. You can mix some low fat vanilla yogurt with some granola and some frozen berries in a blender. It is the perfect breakfast you can eat while on your way to work.

Quick and Healthy Breakfast Tip #3 Whole Wheat Bagel

This is a simple enough breakfast. You can add a small amount of butter or non fat cream cheese to make it exciting. You don’t need to feel guilt because everything about the bagel is good for you, especially the fiber.

Quick and Healthy Breakfast Tip #4 Smoothie

Some yogurt, juice, fruit, and ice mixed together with maybe a scoop of protein powder is ideal for the busy business professional with very little time in the mornings. Smoothies make a large breakfast that is very low in calories and very filling.

Quick and Healthy Breakfast Tip #5 Hardboiled Eggs

This is a quick and easy breakfast if you make it a point to boil a few of the eggs a day or two in advance so that when you’re looking for a quick breakfast fix you can easily reach into the refrigerator grab too, peel them and eat. For flavor you can add a dash of salt, but be careful not to overdo it.

Not only does eating breakfast allow you to maintain a healthier diet, but it also makes you more productive at work or at school. When you don’t have the inconvenience of a growling stomach, your mind is more focused on the tasks at hand. Never allow yourself to skip breakfast, you’ll find that you’re much healthier and a more productive person if you don’t.

    1- minute oats. They can be pretty tasty if you put some cinnamon, a bit of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and make it with milk (or soy milk like I do). It's healthy and filling! I eat it every morning and I find that I start GAINING weight if I start eating something else for breakfast :o

    That's "lose" weight (loose is what you want your pants to be) and there are tons of options. Just watch your calories. I often eat a breakfast far, or a whole wheat bagel with a bit of peanut butter on it, or some egg substitute, turkey bacon, and a slice of low calorie bread toasted.

    Fruit is a good option for breakfast also. Whole grain cereal with lowfat milk or soymilk…

    Just pay attention to your calories and fat. There are a lot of good options for breakfast. Stay away from fried foods, danish, etc.

    it is best to eat more in the morning as there is enough time in the day to burn off the calories rather than skipping breakfast and eating later on when its harder to burn calories which eventually get stored as fat. I would advise you to eat muesli with fruits to make it taste nicer with low fat yogurt and a glass of orange juice, for snacks eat dry fruits and nuts

    Low fat cottage cheese with a handful of mixed berries.

    Fruit smoothie (not ones at the store, they usually have a lot of sugar). Get some frozen fruit, plain low fat yogurt, some soy milk (or regular), and maybe a couple ice cubes, blend. Yum!

    English muffin with peanut butter

    Oatmeal with fruit (add Splenda if you need sweetener)

    Hi,

    Make sure it's healthy and choose things you like to eat! You can do both, and that will make it a healthy lifestyle habit, not a diet! Be sure to include something from each food group; bread/cereal, lean meat/substitutes, fruits.
