5 Energizing Breakfast Ideas

How many times have you skipped breakfast because you were in a hurry or just plain not hungry? If you have done this in the past or even today, you will know that about 1-3 hours into your day you are... ABSOLUTELY STARVING!! So, you reach for that donut that's being offered or eat an extra serving or two at lunch and then are left feeling tired and blah. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as we have all heard, because after waking up after 8+ hours of sleep, you are' breaking the fast'. Your brain and muscles need energy to function, so by choosing lean proteins, whole grains and lots of vitamins in the morning you will be well energized for hours AND be able to pass up those unhealthy mid morning snacks and/or avoid overeating at lunch. Sometimes when you are in a hurry its hard to think about what to make that's healthy and tastes good...well fret no more...here are 5 different breakfast options that are easy, nutritious and taste good!

1. Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey, nuts & mixed berries

2. Eggs & 1 piece of whole grain toast

3. Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal topped with berries

4. Oatmeal with blueberries and peanut/almond butter

5. Protein Fruit Smoothie
     ~ 1/2 cup mixed berries, 1 banana, 1/2 cup almond or skim milk, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1tsp peanut butter
