We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day! It gets us energized and is the platform for what we eat throughout the rest of the day. Start with a healthy choice and you’ll be more likely to end with one. Here are a few of my favorites!
Bacon-and-Egg Sandwich
Beat 1 egg with dried oregano and black pepper to taste. Pour into a microwave-safe bowl coated with nonstick cooking spray and microwave on high 1 minute. Top with 2 slices cooked Canadian bacon and microwave 20 seconds more. Top half of a toasted English muffin with egg, bacon, 2 tomato slices, and remaining muffin half.
Chai Oatmeal with Peaches and Pecans
Steep 1 chai tea bag in 1/2 cup boiling water 3 minutes. Combine tea with 1/2 cup low-fat milk and 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high 1 1/2 to 2 minutes and top with 1/2 cup thawed frozen sliced peaches, 1 tablespoon chopped pecans, and 2 teaspoons maple syrup.
Chocolate-Cherry Smoothie
Blend 1 cup low-fat milk with 1/2 cup frozen unsweetened tart cherries and 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder. Serve with 1 slice toasted whole-grain bread spread with 2 teaspoons peanut butter.
