Power Breakfast Options

Sometimes it's easy to get stuck in a rut with your meal choices- especially for breakfast. You want your breakfast to be healthy so your day starts off on the right track. You need it to be fast because, let's face it, you're already late. Maybe you've already found a great breakfast option, but now that you've eaten it every morning for the past two years, the very idea of it makes you want to vomit. Here's a few alternative options that have worked for me:
Oatmeal with berries: Whole Foods Multigrain Hot Cereal with Flax is an instant 'oatmeal' that has no added sugar (instant oatmeal is delicious, but nearly all of them have sugar listed as one of the top three ingredients! Make sure to check your go-to brand). I add some cinnamon, flaxseed, and a little soy milk. Top with berries of your choice and this breakfast is ready in two minutes.
Cold cereal medley: My favorites are Kashi GoLean and Uncle Sam's. Together you get a lot of great textures and a very high fiber breakfast. Add some dried blueberries if you prefer your breakfast slightly sweeter.
Monster Green Smoothie: I throw in a few cups of fresh spinach, banana, and dollop of greek yogurt, ice, chia seeds, and a tablespoon of peanut or almond butter. It's delicious and protein packed. Plus, you start your day with some veggies.

When you start your day with a healthy breakfast, it's easier to make nutritious choices as the day goes on. Plus, these breakfast choices will give you way more energy than that donut in the break room will.
