From the article: Easy Breakfast Ideas
Breakfast is the most important meal of they day, yet many people choose to skip breakfast because they are in too much of a hurry. But your body needs the energy to get your body and your brain through the morning.

So what can you do to have a quick and healthy breakfast? Have some foods ready to go. You can prepare some hard-boiled eggs and whole-grain muffins, then store them in the refrigerator. Perfect for a grab 'n go breakfast. Keep cold cereals on hand. If you choose healthy breakfast cereals, you'll start the day with good nutrition.

The quickest breakfast

Get a protein shake with already cooked oatmeal added in it. You can find it at your local nutrition store. Being already cooked, it won't expand in your stomach. Add 2% low-fat milk and you have a perfect meal. If you want to step it up add a healthy fat like fish oil or flax seed oil and use 1% fat milk b/c saturated fat is still good for the body in moderation. Hope this helps!

Breakfast Idea

Quick omlette that only takes 5 minutes. I spray canola oil spray on a non-stick pan & pour in 2 beaten eggs. While those are cooking, I put frozen veggies in the microwave for 2 minutes. Flip the egg, spread a bit of pre-shredded cheese onto the top cover for a minute & add the veggies on top. It's a 5 minute healthy breakfast!

Protein Breakfast

I get low fat cottage cheese and make up a week's worth of breakfasts on Sunday. 1 cup of cottage cheese with a piece of fruit cut up in it, does me well. I also drink 8 ounces of vegetable juice. I eat at work while I'm starting my day.

Pancake Idea

Sprinkle wheat germ in pancake batter for extra fiber and prepare on griddle. Top with peanut butter and applesauce.

Breakfast Idea

On Sunday evening I make smoothie out of whatever fruits I happen to have at home, enough for Monday through Friday, and so I don't have to worry about getting too little fruit in the mornings. A recipe I especially like to use includes apricots, strawberries, raspberries and orange in my smoothies. I always add some natural yoghurt and sometimes honey to add a nice flavour. With my smoothie I usually eat toasted rye bread with low-fat margarine.

My Favourite Breakfast

I make organic oats, like this - 1/4 of a cup soaked in boiling water for 5 min, 3 tablespoons low fat vanilla yoghurt, 100g frozen raspberries, thawed. Mush it all up and it is heaven. I have it every morning and have done so for a years and believe it or not I am not sick of it.

Fast n Easy Breakfast

Shredded wheat with banana, blueberries, sprinkle walnuts and 2% milk. Wheat germ, when I have it, makes me good for the day; my nerves are steady and I feel like I can handle anything!

Breakfast Ideas

My boyfriend likes honey on his oatmeal. I like toast, pancakes, and waffles topped with peanut butter, and drizzled with honey. I also like them topped with butter or margarine and fruit.

Breakfast Idea

When I go to the supermarket over the weekend, I stock up on very ripe bananas. I buy 5 of them so I have for Monday through Friday. I bring one to work a day so I don't have an excuse for not having a dash of health in my morning!
