Healthy Breakfast Options
August 8, 2009
Option 1: Fruit with Cheese: This is not only a balanced diet but also extremely simple to prepare. Take an apple, wrap an ounce of Cheddar, and toss a few walnuts in your bag and you are ready with your healthy and nutritious breakfast on the go.
Option 2: Waffle with Peanut Butter: Choose a whole grain or bran waffle and spread 2 tbs of peanut butter on it. Sprinkle on some sesame seed, raisins, sesame seeds and peanut for extra fibre.
Option 3: Plain doughnut with chocolate skimmed milk: Choose plain cake doughnuts which are much better than the butter and crème options you pick from your bakery. If you visit a Dunkin’ Donuts near your house you can choose the fairly old-fashioned simple doughnut which has around 280 calories, instead of the muffins which contain more than 500 calories. Add some almonds or dried fruits for extra fibre. Choose a cup of low fat skimmed chocolate milk instead of your cup of coffee.
Option 4: Strawberry Shake: Take a cocktail shaker; add some strawberry or vanilla breakfast powder (choose a low fat option) along with a cup of strawberry flavored low fat or soy milk. Add fresh strawberry or banana in the shake for extra nutrition.
Option 5: Make a Morning Pizza: Take a crusty bread slice, and spread some ricotta (low fat) on it. Add some fresh tomatoes, drizzle with a few drops of olive oil and some salt and pepper.
Option 6: Energy Bars: If you have no time to even prepare the options mentioned above try an energy bar. An energy bar has around 3-5 gram of fibre and close to 10 gram protein. Make sure you read the nutrition content before buying the stuff.
Option 7: Egg Muffins: You can have the one available in McDonald’s, McMuffin comes with around 300 calories, and it’s not really unhealthy. It comes with loads of lean protein. If 300 is really high for you have half the muffin.
Option 8: Cereal Sundae: If you have one bowl bran flakes and low fat milk, it is an almost perfect breakfast. You can have flavored yogurt instead of milk. Add some nuts and berries for an extra dose of fibre.
Option 9: Huevos Rancheros: Slice a hard boiled egg (rich in protein) roll it in a tortilla cover. Add some lean version of ham and if you want to add some more taste have a little cheese. Add some salsa sauce for extra flavour.
These are some ideas for healthy and nutritious breakfast.
