Got Breakfast? Five Breakfast Ideas

Mornings can be hectic as you're rushing around to get ready for the day, leaving for work or school, perhaps getting the family going as well.
So what's on your menu-- maybe a quick bowl of cereal, or just coffee? Do you some times even skip breakfast, and pick up something along the way at a fast food place or convenience store? Fast food breakfasts are typically loaded with fat, sugar and empty calories.
Typical cereals such as krispy rice, corn flakes or fruit loops are loaded with empty calories from refined carbohydrates and high in sugars. They give you a quick energy boost, but typically you'll be hungry again by mid-morning, so you grab a doughnut or some junk food for a snack to spike your energy level again. By lunch-time you're ravenous so you may fill up with some heavy duty meal.
Here are five ideas for quick yet nutritious breakfasts to get your day off to a more solid nutritional start:
1. Kashi cereal, which is made from whole grains,low in sugars, and provides a 9 or so grams of protein.
2. Oatmeal is filling and nutritious, just takes a few minutes to make, and can also be made in the microwave.
3. An egg with a slice of whole grain toast.
4. A Nutrimeal shake from USANA is soy-based, low-glycemic and high in protein.
5. Whole grain toast with peanut butter.
