Having a collection of great breakfast recipes is a healthy diet habit that can help you start your day with a health, rather than grabbing a caloric diet bomb from your local coffee shop. Breakfast fuels your metabolism and is the most important meal of the day. Yet many of you skip it, because of lack of hunger, feeling sick, bloated, or lacking the time to fix a meal.
The typical breakfast choices of juice, bagels, sweetened cereals, donuts, muffins, or your usual high carbohydrate choice, can leave you feeling sluggish, shaky, irritable, and unable to concentrate.

Healthy breakfast recipes and meal choices should contain protein, whole grains, and fresh fruits and vegetables that contain fiber. The combination will keep your blood sugar even and you won’t feel hungry until lunch. It does not have to be a fancy recipe, but could be as simple as plain Greek yogurt mixed with fresh fruit and slivered almonds or steel cut oatmeal with dried fruit and walnuts. Leftovers can also play a huge part in your breakfast routine. Extra cooked vegetables from last night’s dinner can add lots of pizzazz to a couple of eggs.
Weekend planning can simplify breakfast too. It’s simple and quick to produce a couple of pans of healthy granola that you can eat all week. Bake eggs with bacon and vegetables in muffin tins and reheat them or a breakfast casserole on Sunday that can be reheated for most of the following week. I’ve also produced whole grain pancakes or waffles on the weekend and simply cooked a whole lot extra and frozen them to be reheated in the toaster at a later date. There are so many breakfast ideas that can add health to your life and save you time and money as well.
Breakfast does not need to be traditional. Many cultures eat dinner leftovers for breakfast. That is perfectly acceptable. I grew up in Australia and a common breakfast choice was spaghetti or baked beans on toast. That is healthier than grabbing a box of sugar sweetened cereal to start the day. Please take the time to collect a few healthy breakfast recipes to add to your collection and start the day feeling well, rather than lethargic! That’s a great lifestyle solution to pursue!
