Everyone has heard breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That is true, but even more important is having a healthy breakfast every day. Eating foods filled with sugar and artificial colors is not going to do anything to get your body off to a good start and get your metabolism going for the day.

What is a healthy breakfast?

Right back to the standby  ~ protein and produce.  A great breakfast will include each of these, and may include a serving of healthy whole grains, but if you don’t have time, just grab some protein and produce.

Here are some great breakfast protein options:

Nuts
Eggs
Protein Shake
Tofu
Bacon
Ham
Cheese
Peanut Butter

Here are some options for produce:

apple
orange
banana
pears
or any other kind of fruit
broccoli
cauliflower
spinach
any other kind of vegetable

Let’s put it all together!

If you have time to sit down and eat, go ahead and scramble up  a couple eggs, add some veggies and cheese. You could also scramble a couple of eggs, add some cheese and slice an apple/orange on the side.

If you are on the run, why not throw it all in the blender. You can throw in frozen fruits, even veggies like spinach (don’t worry the fruit will cover up the flavor, you won’t even know it’s there ~ other than the color) then add some whey protein and blend it all up. If you don’t use frozen fruit add some ice to give it a nice texture. Pour it in a go cup and be on your way!

You could also just grab a cheese stick and an apple and eat it on the way!

There are so many options for a healthy breakfast, it’s really helpful to know what your options are and to keep healthy breakfast foods in the house. Have both kinds of food available, those you can eat sitting down, and on the run. That way you will always have some options.
