 Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown
that women who skip breakfast consume an average of 100 calories more than those
who eat breakfast. Enjoying a healthy breakfast in the morning will also keep
your blood sugar levels even, which will help you stay more alert and in a better mood.
With our busy lives, it is sometimes hard to find the time to fix breakfast
in the morning. Here are a few quick ideas that take hardly any time at all to
prepare and most of them you can carry with you and enjoy on your way to work or
when you get there.
1. Whole grain cereal with skim milk All you need is a bowl and a spoon. This
should take you about 1 minute to prepare and 5 minutes to eat. A nice and easy
breakfast idea when you are running late.
2. Breakfast Parfait You can make your own healthy version of the breakfast
parfait. Put some low-fat vanilla yogurt in a container. Keep some snack-sized
bags of granola in your pantry and some small bags of frozen berries in your
freezer. Or use fresh fruit when available. Just grab everything as you head out
the door and enjoy your parfait at work.
3. Whole Wheat Bagel with Peanut Butter (add a piece of fruit) Toast a
whole-wheat bagel with some peanut butter for a filling breakfast. Grab a piece
of "portable" fruit such as an apple or a banana before you leave the house and
breakfast is done.
4. Boiled Egg Sandwich Keep a few boiled eggs in your fridge for a protein
rich and filling egg sandwich for breakfast. Just slice the egg on some honey
wheat bread and sprinkle a little salt on top. If you'd like you can add a small
amount of mayonnaise as well.
5. Breakfast Smoothie Breakfast Smoothies were invented for busy people. Pour
some milk or yogurt and juice in your blender and toss in some berries or a
banana and a scoop of protein powder. There are many other great recipes
available. Visit http://www.healthymenumailer.com/articles

Try a few of these ideas and you'll find yourself more alert and in a better
mood in the morning. Starting your day off right, will also help you snack less
during the day and will keep your metabolism running high. No more excuses to
skip breakfast - just spend a few minutes each morning putting one of these
meals together.
