Break that fast: Have breakfast

It is no doubt that breakfast is proven to be the most important meal of the day. Many treat it as an essential component to health, but many skip it also. Remember that breakfast kick starts your amazing day by burning up your calories as well as kick starting your metabolism. So I found some very easy to prepare breakfasts, making you wanting more.

In a milkshake

Having a smoothie is a great idea. Blend some bananas, Greek yogurt, almonds, and some protein powder if you wish. For the milk or alternatives to make the milkshake  go for regular milk, almond milk, or just keep as is with the Greek yogurt.

Toast

Better Toast

It is something you have been making since you were very young. Toast is great because when the toast gets toasted it acts like a cracker. You can top your toast off with anything of your choice fruits, vegetables, honey, or jam.

Bagels

Tim Horton’s bagels have been my go-to spot for when I am in a hurry. Making your own bagel can cost less, and be healthier. Bagels can be eaten in toasted or non-toasted form. Think of a bagel as a donut and use fresh homemade cherry jam on a whole wheat bagel bun. How delicious does that sound? Remember bagels can be used as pizza, sandwiches etc. Decide what you’re in the mood for.

Eggs

Eggs are super easy to prepare in a variety of ways. The best part about egg is you can eat them on bagels, bread, and in wraps. The pictures will give you some inspiration on how you can prepare you simple egg. Remember you don’t need to be a chef to get amazing results. A tip would be to add some vegetables for a boost of vital vitamins.

Cereal

Many people enjoy cereal on its own, in milk, and on doughnuts. Yes! Believe me I have seen captain crunch cereal on doughnuts and oh how delicious and delightful they looked. Cereal is something you can never go wrong with as it comes in so many flavours, textures, colours, and sizes to choose from. The good old fashioned Cheerios is exactly what its name is it cheers your belly up and fuels you to excel for the day.

Make sure you decide what breakfast works best for you.  Some questions you can ask yourself are listed: Are you looking for more protein? Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to get good grades on a test? Are you playing a sport?  Just make sure your getting breakfast in no matter what. Did you know that breakfast is named breakfast because it is breaking the fast you do in your sleep?
