Of all the meals you consume throughout the day, breakfast is probably the most important. It helps to jump start your metabolism, keeps you from binge eating, and gives you the energy needed to help you power through even the toughest days. But what exactly should you eat? (I’ll give you a hint: it isn’t cereal, pancakes, or any of the crap found in your grocer’s freezer). In my mind, a perfect breakfast has four important qualities: 1) It MUST be nutritious 2) It MUST taste good 3) It MUST contain a high amount of protein, and 4) It MUST be able to be prepared in less than 5 minutes. Making sure that your breakfast has these four qualities will guarantee that you not only start your day healthy, but also actually look forward to eating each day. And perhaps even more important, you’ll be out the door in a flash! Five healthy breakfast ideas (including some of my favorites) are listed below.
NOTE: If you’re a coffee drinker and have a habit of using sugar and/or creamers to sweeten your coffee, try some of the low carb breakfast options!
