Breakfast For Champions :: Fast and Easy

You’ve been hearing it since grade school – “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”  But for most of us, mornings are crazy…up at 5:00 AM – run, shower, make the kids’ lunches, commute to work – who has time to eat breakfast?

The great news is that eating a good-for-you breakfast can be fast and doesn’t have to be complicated…the cereal you loved as a kid is still a great choice in the morning (and in the evening) with a few minor considerations:

·       Choose a cereal with fewer than 200 calories and 5 grams of fat per serving (approx ¾ cup)

·       Avoid cereals with coconut or palm oil

·       Go for cereals that are “100% whole grain”

·       Look for more than 5 grams of fiber per serving

·       Select cereals with less than 16 grams of added sugar

TIP:  Boost the nutritional value of your cereal by using yogurt instead of milk, and adding fresh or dried fruit to your cereal.
