Healthy & Quick Breakfast Ideas

• Prepare a casserole the night before. Pop it in the microwave when you wake up and it will be ready to go when you are.
• Incorporate complex carbohydrates, such as whole wheat toast and bagels. Spread peanut butter and raisins on top of either for added flavor.
• Bake bran muffins early in the week, and then grab one or two on your way out the door.
• Make waffles Sunday morning and freeze the leftovers. You can pop ?em in the toaster for a homemade breakfast. Also, grocery stores sell frozen whole grain selections.
• Give your kids a fun breakfast tortilla. They can wrap up cold turkey and cheese, grab an apple and be on their way.
• Don't forget cold cereal. We're not talking about those covered with sugar, but the healthy variety. Items such as Wheaties and Cheerios are always good choices. Top it with low-fat milk.
• Do you love eggs, but worry about their saturated fat? Cut out a lot of the "bad" stuff, while still getting a dose of protein, by only using the egg white.
• Make a shake or a smoothie. Blend fruit and yogurt and then drink it in the car, if necessary. A side option is a small bag of finger foods, such as a mixture of granola and grapes.
