As kids go back to school and parents return to their regular routines, now’s the perfect time to bring back some of the best and healthiest breakfast recipes to help families kickstart their mornings.
Eggs. Scrambled, in an omelet or sandwich, eggs are a nutritional ingredient that will appease the masses and deliver the essential nutrients we need to get the day rolling. In addition to being high in protein, eggs will help you feel fuller and keep you away from unnecessary snacking throughout the day.
Oatmeal. Now hear me out. I was never a fan of oatmeal growing up. Thought it looked and tasted awful. However, as the years have gone by, I’ve learned a trick or two to enhance the flavor and look of oatmeal. Adding cut up apples, bananas, honey and / or cinnamon will do it! The health benefits of oatmeal are also hard to pass up. It’s rich in fiber that helps lower cholesterol and full of vitamins.
Fruit smoothie. One of the quickest and most efficient ways to make breakfast in the morning is to just toss a bunch of fruit into a cup and blend it up. By combining berries, Greek yogurt and perhaps chia seeds, you’re putting together a cup that promotes heart health, reduces inflammation in the body, and supports skin health.
The bottom line is that you don’t want to start the day with carb-heavy foods that will make you feel sluggish hours later. Plan ahead, do your own grocery shopping, and creating healthy breakfast options will quickly become a part of your routine you’ll be thankful for.
