10 Easy, Healthy And Tasty Breakfast Tips

Everybody is busy these days. You are forced to work harder and longer in order to keep the stove burning in your home. Most days you get up late in the morning and rush out to your workplace without even eating your breakfast. You just don’t have the time. Sometimes, you eat only very little breakfast. If you manage to grab some time for breakfast, then you often go for unhealthy options such as bagel and cream cheese, a muffin, an Egg McMuffin, a pastry, pancakes or an English fry-up. Unfortunately, this is not a great way of starting your day.

If you don’t eat anything in the morning, your blood sugar levels will be dangerously low when you are ready to start your day’s work. As an instant fix, you may eat a pastry or a doughnut. Unfortunately, the fast foods that you opt for damage your health in the long run. This is because they contain too much sugar or carbs (pancakes, waffles, toast, pastries, scones, bagels, donuts, pies, sugar cereals, muffins and breakfast bars) or lots of fat (fried eggs, sausages, cream cheese on bagels, bacon, cheesy omelets, Sausage McMuffins, hash browns and Egg McMuffins).

If you are wondering as to whether there are any healthy options available to you at all, continue reading. We have listed below 10 easy, healthy and tasty breakfast ideas that will give you a great start in the morning. You just have to decide to get up 15 minutes earlier or prepare your breakfast the previous night.

#1: Kashi Golean Crunch

It is good to eat anything made using whole grain for breakfast because it will have higher fiber content. Kashi Golean Crunch is rich in protein and fiber, but low in sugar. You can either add either soy or low-fat milk and some berries according to your preference.

#2: Scrambled Tofu

Scrambled tofu is a much healthier option compared to scrambled eggs. You can add green peppers, onions, or any other veggies, garlic powder, light soy sauce/tamari or black pepper and then stir-fry with a little bit of olive oil. You can eat scrambled tofu along with whole-grain toast.

#3: Oatmeal, flaxseed, blueberries and almonds

Steel-cut oatmeal is the best option, but you can go for the instant option if you are not likely to have enough time in the morning. Microwave the oatmeal. Add frozen blueberries, ground flaxseed and sliced almonds. You may add a little bit of cinnamon and honey if you are using steel-cut oatmeal. This is a great breakfast option. It is rich in fiber, nutrients, good fat and proteins. Moreover, you can prepare it in a couple of minutes.

#4: Yogurt, Granola and Fresh Berries

It is a good idea to use low-fat yogurt instead of non-fat yogurt because it often contains too much sugar. Alternately, you can use soy yogurt. You can also cut up and add some berries or fruits together with healthy cereal. Kashi Golean Crunch can be used instead of granola. This is because many granola brands have high sugar and fat content.

#5: Fruit Salad

You can use apples, melons, berries, pears, bananas, grapes and oranges to prepare your fruit salad. If you want to enhance its taste a little more, add lemon or lime juice to it. You will be ingesting a whole lot of vitamins and minerals.

#6: Protein Shake

Prepare a protein shake using soy or Whey protein powder and blend it with soy or low-fat milk, frozen blueberries and oatmeal or almond butter. It is pretty filling. You make it healthier by adding some ground flax seed.

#7: Gibb’s Muffins

Most muffins that you buy at stores just provide empty carbs. However, Gibb’s muffin contains a great deal of fiber as well as nutrition. It is a good idea to bake them the previous night. They are perfect for breakfast.

#8: Whole-wheat Bread Toast with Almond Butter and Grapefruit

Almond butter is better than peanut-butter as it provides more of good protein and fills you up.

#9: Eggs and Peppers

Egg white is healthier compared to whole egg. Scramble your eggs with a little bit of olive oil, green and red bell peppers, broccoli, onions and black pepper. Eat it with whole-wheat toast.

#10: Fruits and Cottage cheese

Get hold of some low-fat cottage cheese and add fruits of your choice; apples, citrus fruits and berries.
