Healthy Breakfast Ideas

It’s not as hard as you think to eat a healthy breakfast. Make healthy choices including fresh fruit and whole grains and lean proteins such as egg whites, tofu and poultry.

 

Toast

  • Top whole-grain toast with sunflower seed  butter or almond butter and ½ sliced banana.
  • Add plain Greek yogurt and fresh strawberries or other fresh fruit to a whole-grain bagel.

 

Whole Grain Bread

 

Oatmeal

  • Add flaxseed, blueberries and nuts to a cooked bowl of steel cut oats and serve with nonfat milk, soy milk or almond milk.
  • Make oatmeal pancakes with apples or blueberries, served with sugar-free syrup.

Yogurt

  • Add fruit and low-fat granola to your favorite plain yogurt.
  • Blend fruit into yogurt with your favorite non-fat milk.

A note about yogurt: soy or almond varieties are more heart healthy than dairy yogurt.
