How many times have we all heard the phrase, “What’s for Breakfast?” Breakfast is the most important meal of day according to many health conscious advocates. It’s important not only to eat, but what you eat is important as well. Many believe that breakfast should be high in fiber to sustain you throughout the day and keep you from binge eating due to hunger between meals. This is as important as eating regular meals. What I have here in my “What’s for Breakfast?” options are some healthy, filling, and satisfying meals for breakfast. For those options that may be lower in fiber, serving them with multigrain toast and/or fresh fruit as a great way to increase fiber. You will love these great options!

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of your day, so instead of saying, “What’s for Breakfast?” be ready to say, “I have a great idea for breakfast, and you’re going to love it!” Your family will appreciate it, and you will know you helped them get their day off to a great start! Keep in mind that many of these options may also be done the day before and reheated. Another benefit of the above options is any of them may also be used for other meals. Remember, too, that smoothies are great for before or after workouts. But if you choose any of these options for starting your day, you will start your day with a great breakfast, so enjoy!
