Healthy breakfast food: quick, easy and tasty

Need an energy boost? Starting to eat healthier?
Ideas and recipes for healthy breakfast

Are you a breakfast-hater or a breakfast-lover? Whatever camp you belong to, you probably know that breakfast is an important meal. Dieticians will shoot you for skipping it.

Still, many of us have to force ourselves to eat something for breakfast. And we need to give more thought to what it is we’re putting into our mouths.

Say you eat an average North American breakfast - bacon and eggs followed by white bread toast with butter and jam and a big coffee with cream. Now your body is fighting off free radicals and high sugar levels all day. You feel sluggish and tired, and day has only started!

You might as well skip it!

Even better choice is replacing this greasy meal with healthy breakfast food options: whole foods. If your perception of breakfast is stuck on bacon and eggs, remember it’s all in your head. Thinking of all of the good benefits I’ll list below will hopefully make the transition easier. Reminding yourself that you are choosing to be healthier will empower you to make eating well a habit.

Healthy breakfast food - hot ten grains cereal

Over the years of healthy food research and experiments in my kitchen, I have created a list of healthy breakfast food options. These foods are delicious, whole, vitamin-packed, energy-boosting, and the kids love them!

My healthy breakfast food options are helpful if you are

• working to lose weight (lose fat, that is)
• exercising to gain muscle
• teaching your kids healthy eating habits
• aiming to eat healthier.

My recipes are good for the whole body, and their “side effects” include:

• lowering cholesterol
• lowering blood pressure
• lowering blood sugar
• increasing immunity
• providing antioxidants to fight free radicals caused by toxins in the environment and food
• in the long run, lowering your chances to be a part of sad cancer, diabetes and heart disease statistics
• increased energy.

So what are you waiting for? Why not choose one easy option and get started?

• Immediate boost of energy with healthy smoothies
  
• breakfast on the go: Healthy blueberry muffins
• old-fashioned way to get slimmer - hot cereal
  
• weekend delight: oatmeal pancakes (gluten-free,too!)
• healthy omelettes: if you really want to eat eggs, try this healthy twist
  
• Super-healthy choice - miso soup for breakfast. Many people get shocked by this idea, yet macrobiotic cooking recommends it as a part of healing practice. People in Japan are accustomed to starting their day with a bowl of miso, and they have much less problem with obesity and cardiovascular disease than people in the Western societies.
