Healthy Tip: Start Your Day Right With A Healthy Breakfast

 

I know you have heard it many times...BREAKFAST is the most important meal of the day. Why? You just spent eight hours with no food or water. You’re dehydrated and your blood sugar is low.  I think it is highly important to start your day off right by eating a healthy and nutritious breakfast! I believe it is imperative to have a variety of fruits, vegetables, and hearty whole grains in order to give you the energy you need and carry you through until lunchtime. Studies find that what you eat for breakfast influences what you eat the rest of the day. People who eat breakfast are significantly less likely to be obese and have diabetes than those who don’t. So eat a healthy breakfast every day! This one action alone can make a huge, positive difference in your health. 

Here are some of my favorite go-to healthy breakfast foods...

Green Smoothie (quick and full of variety)

Oatmeal (with fruit, nuts & cinnamon)

Whole Grain Cereal (we call this porridge at our house)

Berry, Granola, & Yogurt Parfait 

Fruit & Veggie Green Juice

Berries With Granola & Rice Milk

Cracked Wheat Berry Cereal

Whole Grain Pancakes

"Lunch" For Breakfast (think veggie sandwich or salad & fruit)
