"Eat your breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day!" Why are parents always saying that?

Well, imagine you're a car. After a long night of sleeping, your fuel tank is empty. Breakfast is the fuel that gets you going so you can hit the road.

What Should You Eat?

Any breakfast is better than no breakfast, but try not to have doughnuts or pastries all the time. They're high in calories, sugar, and fat. They also don't contain the nutrients a kid really needs. And if you have a doughnut for breakfast, you won't feel full for long.

Just like with other meals, try to eat a variety of foods, including:

grains (breads and cereals)

protein (meats, beans, and nuts)

fruits and vegetables

milk, cheese, and yogurt

Here are some breakfast ideas. First, the traditional ones:

eggs

French toast, waffles, or pancakes (try wheat or whole-grain varieties)

cold cereal and milk

hot cereal, such as oatmeal or cream of wheat (try some dried fruit or nuts on top)

whole-grain toast, bagel, or English muffin with cheese

yogurt with fruit or nuts

fruit smoothie, such as a strawberry smoothie

And now some weird (but yummy) ones:

banana dog (peanut butter, a banana, and raisins in a long whole-grain bun)

breakfast taco (shredded cheese on a tortilla, folded in half and microwaved; top with salsa)

country cottage cheese (apple butter mixed with cottage cheese)

fruit and cream cheese sandwich (use strawberries or other fresh fruit)

sandwich - grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, or another favorite

leftovers (they're not just for dinner anymore!)

Skipping Breakfast

Some kids skip breakfast because they sleep too late or because they think it's a way to stay thin. But skipping breakfast doesn't help people maintain a healthy weight. In fact, someone who skips breakfast tends to eat more calories throughout the day.

If you find yourself skipping breakfast because you're too rushed, try these quick breakfasts. They're easy to grab on the way out the door or can be prepared the night before:

single servings of whole-grain, low-sugar cereal

yogurt

fresh fruit

whole-grain muffin

trail mix of nuts, dried fruits, pretzels, crackers, and dry cereal

Need More Convincing?

Just in case you need more evidence that eating breakfast is the way to go, kids who don't eat breakfast are less able to learn at school, get less iron (an important nutrient) in their diets, and are more likely to have a higher body mass index (BMI), which is a sign they may be overweight.

On the other hand, kids who eat breakfast do better in school, are more likely to participate in physical activities, and tend to eat healthier overall. So tomorrow morning, don't run out the door on an empty stomach. Fuel up with a healthy breakfast!

Answer 4

Nutrigrain bars are very filling and yummy... I'm not a breakfast person either, but I can usually eat one of those and feel good.

Answer 5

Make yourself a smoothie with fruits, juice, and whatever else you like.  One I like:  1 banana, a couple ice cubes, a few teaspoons of vanilla yogurt (soy options are available if you don't do dairy), a little cinnamon, and a little rice milk.  There are tons of options. Experiment with your favorite fruits!

Answer 6

ohh umm i would go with maybe fresh squeezed orange juice! (yummy) maybe a small bowl of mixed fruit. (a couple apple pieces some banana, a little handful of nuts like almonds and like strawberries) i dont do breakfast either but if i had that most days i know i would go for it!!! go luck!  

Answer 7

The secret that worked for me is realizing that just because it's breakfast doesn't mean I have to eat the standard breakfast foods to which we've been socialized. I can eat whatever I feel like eating including leftover dinner from the night before such as pasta, quinoa salad, etc. I especially like room temp roasted veggies such as zucchini spears, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, asparagus as their flavor deepens overnight.

What's important is getting something healthy and substantial in since eating breakfast is the most important meal for both mental acuity and weight control. Even if you just eat a bit before your class and something more after you're doing much better than waiting till lunch or even dinner.

Having said that, one of the reasons I don't care much for breakfast is it's usually so sweet. But some good breakfast sorts of foods are waffles (you can make your own and freeze till use or buy some good whole grain ones such as from Nature's Path). Toast and spread with a good natural nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew, etc) and top that with some fruit (sliced apricots, peaches, kiwi, berries, etc) and eat open faced or top with another waffle to eat on the go.

Or put together a breakfast burrito. Use a smaller tortilla until you've grown accustomed to eating breakfast then eat two or go to the bigger tortilla. You can cook up beans and rice ahead of time and have ready in serving sizes in your fridge and freezer. Put whatever you want on your tortilla (I like brown rice ones) from beans (black, red, pinto, refried, etc.) to rice, to onions, red peppers, avocado, roasted/fried diced potato, sprinkle with cumin and maybe top with a veggie cheese...

Roll-up sandwich (again on a tortilla) spread with hummus, topped with cucumber spears, red bell pepper, sprouts, crumbled walnuts, toasted flax seed, some flax oil, roasted red pepper rouille, salt, pepper...

Slice of toast with hummus and thick slices of tomato topped with salt and crumbled dried basil (or fresh if you prefer and can get it)...

Or even just a handful of nuts, Brazil, walnut, pecans, pinenuts, etc with some soy milk or homemade hemp milk:

There is always a Larabar, Clif/Luna Bar or Smart Monkey bar too.

Think about what you like and what you would eat regardless of the time of day and then make it happen. Soon you'll look forward to it every day.

==

Vegan  Rouille

about one cup

1 red bell pepper

3 or 4 cloves of garlic, unpeeled

Freshly ground pepper

Sea Salt

Organic safflower, sunflower or cooking olive oil (for roasting)

1/4 of an avocado or so (to take the place of 2 egg yolks)

Pinch of saffron threads

1 to 3 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil or flax oil

Cut pepper in half, and core.  Place the halves with the garlic cloves in a small baking pan. Brush with olive oil. Season a little with pepper, and if you like, a little salt.  Roast at 450 degrees in oven or toaster oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Garlic may not take as long. Both the pepper and garlic are ready when soft all the way through likely blackened on the outside. Once cooked, put pepper into a bowl and cover with a plate or lid for several minutes (or a paper bag folded over -- this is to steam it so it skin comes away easier) till cool enough to handle then peel skin off.  Squish roasted garlic clove from their skins into the food processor bowl, blender, or deep container if using an immersion blender and add the roasted pepper. Add avocado, saffron, citrus juice, bit more salt/pepper into the container. Whirl till smooth. Slowly add flax/olive oil while still blending till well mixed.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

just get one of those smoothie drinks

Answer 11

Two slices of bread and 1 glass of Milo or Ribena.

Answer 12

I know it sounds like a broken record, but breakfast is a really important meal. People who skip breakfast statistically, are more obese, have less energy etc. I used to skip it also for years. Then I stopped. I find I do much better throughout the day now. Something light? In a blender mix three-four ice cubes, vega protein mix, berries (blue/black) and a banana. Add a cup or two of organic rice milk. And take a multi vitamin with it.

Enjoy!

Answer 13

try a fruit like bananas and kiwifruit. or even try a muesli bar. maybe quickly have a toast.  

Answer 14

I don't eat breakfast either. At least not in the conventional sense. I usually just blend 5 fruits together for a smoothie. Orange juice as base then whatever fruit happens to be around. My aunt sent me some flax seed oil which I add about a tablespoon full to the mix.

Or I have a green apple which works better than coffee. Not having breakfast is not a real problem for me since I eat a mid morning (about 930-10am)  snack anyway. Usually dried fruit and/or trail mix.

Also try cereals or a half a bagel with tomatos or somethinglike that.

Answer 15

i would have a gronala bar a piece of fruit and some milk or juice

Answer 16

Cereal with fruit or yoghurt.

Wholemeal toast and ?

It doesn't really matter, as long as you are getting sufficient nutrition for your work-out.

You are going to burn it off anyway so treat yourself.

Answer 17

How about a banana or other piece of fruit?

Add a nut or two? Peanut butter? Use that imagination!

'Breakfast bars', 'nutrition bars', cereals and 'toaster thingies' are manufactured empty caloried negative bars!
