Great Breakfast Ideas

You should eat breakfast within an hour of waking up.  As always try to eat it slowly! As you will see in the upcoming water post it would be great if you just had water with your breakfast.  If you must have juice or milk shoot for 1% milk or a small glass of juice.  (apple juice with no sugar added or orange juice)
  • Whole grain cold cereal 
  • Whole grain toast, bagel or English muffin (skip the butter and add honey, peanut butter or 100% fruit preserves instead)
  • Fruit
  • Oatmeal - do not add any sugar!
  • Eggs
  • Fruit Smoothie with low-fat yogurt - (fruit, yogurt, ice, water)
  • Peanut Butter
  • Low fat cottage cheese
  • Pancakes or waffles (made with at least half whole-wheat flour and applesauce instead of oil) (again skip the butter and if you must have syrup make sure it's light or no sugar-added)
  • Omelet with lots of veggies
  • Granola
