Waking up is not easy for many people. Some of us hit snooze once, twice, maybe even three or four times, and wait until it becomes a mad dash to get out of the house and head to work as quick as possible or else be very, very late. So who has time for breakfast? There’ll be time to eat later, right?
Wrong! There is a reason why everyone calls it “the most important meal of the day”. Eating breakfast helps a person start their day with energy, but is also linked to many health benefits such as weight control and improved performance.
It is not just ANY breakfast that helps put you the right track, but a HEALTHY breakfast. Studies also show that people who start their day with a healthy breakfast, are more likely to eat healthy through the rest of the day.
But what is a healthy breakfast? Not to worry, we have some examples here for you!
Eggs - Eggs are a great way to start off your day because the protein will help you stay full for longer. This smoked salmon, asparagus, and goat cheese omelette is full of healthy fats and packed with protein, and is easy to make.
Smoothie - Smoothies, like parfaits, are also great for people in a hurry. Blend a banana, a few strawberries, and a handful of blueberries together. Add some nonfat milk and some peanut butter! This smoothie will have the protein and fiber that will keep you full and energized until lunch time.
So no matter how rushed you are in the morning, make sure to take some time to eat! Try some of the recipes above, let us know what you think, and tell us your favorite healthy breakfast recipes!
