10 Healthy Ways to Start Your Day

If you have heard it once, you've heard it a million times: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Here at JSN, we know how hard it can be to get up, get yourself (and everyone else!) ready and out the door and still have time to put something healthy into your body. So here is a list of 10 healthy starts to your day that are easy but oh-so-good for you:

  1. Fat-free Greek yogurt and fresh fruit (you can add some Stevia or Splenda for sweetness).

  2. Steel cut oatmeal with fresh fruit and Almond Milk: Make a large batch of steel cut oats on Sunday night that will last through Friday AM. Chop various nuts, and fruits and include them with the oats during the cooking process; you can also add the fruit and nuts in when you re-heat.

  3. Homemade Granola / Muesli.

  4. 3 egg whites / 1 over easy egg served over sautéed greens or tomatoes.

  5. Egg salad (3 whites 1 whole egg with Greek yogurt & dill) served over greens or tomatoes.

  6. Egg white french toast: whole grain cinnamon raisin bread, egg whites, cinnamon, vanilla. Soak your bread overnight. Get 3-4 whites in the bread overnight and then cook in a covered skillet on low heat the next morning.

  7. Baked sweet potato with cinnamon.

  8. Dry cereal: BUT beware and read food labels! Make sure you choose a cereal that is low in added sugar and high in fiber. You can add skim ilk, unsweetened almond or soy milk.
  9. Chocolate espresso protein shake: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder; unsweetened almond milk, one shot express coffee, ½ frozen banana; 3 ice cubes. Blend until smooth.
  10. If you eat breakfast out, a great option is egg whites on whole grain toast with a slice of cheese or tomatoes.

The possibilities are endless. Time constraints tend to be the biggest reason people to not eat a proper breakfast. With a little forethought and preparation you can eat a good meal at the start of each and every day!
