A well balanced breakfast should contain food from at least three of the five major food groups. Aim for low-fat proteins, whole grain carbs, and fruit in every meal. Add in some healthy fats for a satisfying and healthy breakfast. Breakfast #1: Bowl of low-fat Greek yogurt topped with berries and granola[1] Breakfast #2: Green smoothie (made with kale, banana, frozen berries, and cucumber) served with almond butter[2] on whole grain toast Breakfast #3: Two scrambled eggs[3] and avocado toast[4] with a banana Breakfast #4: Turkey sausage patty on whole grain English muffin with a slice of low-fat cheddar, served with a side of pineapple[5] ________________ [1] Make sure the yogurt has no added sugars. The granola will add some sugar, but you can make your own healthier version by oven-roasting whole rolled oats, nuts, and toasted coconut shavings in some olive oil for about 30 minutes in a 350° F oven.. [2] The almond butter adds some protein. Throw in a side of turkey sausage for even more lean protein. [3] If you are watching your cholesterol, you can remove the yolks and scramble just the egg whites; add in some spinach for extra vitamins and flavor. [4] Fresh avocado is an excellent way to add healthy fats to your breakfast. Top with salt, a squeeze of lime, and some chili powder for a flavorful kick.
