Healthy Breakfast Choices

I was inspired by my delicious and healthy breakfast today to write about healthy breakfast choices. I had a bowl of old fashion oatmeal with fresh blueberries, walnuts and a splash of skim milk. This is a great way to start your day with a healthy serving of omega 3 fatty acids in the walnuts and a serving of whole grains, and a serving of fruit. Avoid the instant oatmeal; it cooks quickly because the healthy stuff has been removed.

Here are some other choices for breakfast. Try an egg white omelet with your favorite veggies. If you are in a hurry have a piece of whole grain toast with a serving of natural peanut butter and an apple. You can also prepare a fruit smoothie the night before using fresh fruit and plain yogurt; add a scoop of protein powder, if desired. If you just can’t seem to find the time for breakfast, have a whole grain granola bar. Kashi granola bars give you a serving a whole grains and are low in sugar.

A good breakfast is an important way to start your day. Never skip breakfast, especially if you are trying to lose weight. It is counter productive to your effort.
