One of the best ways to get lean and start your day on the right foot is to eat a healthy breakfast. It might be the last thing on your morning to-do list, or worse, it might not be on your list at all. But a healthy breakfast refuels your body, jump-starts your day, and may even benefit your overall health. A healthy a.m. meal also provides energy, satisfies your appetite, and sets the stage for smart decisions all day long. So you definitely shouldn't skip this important meal.

 

But not all breakfasts are created equal - the quality of your breakfast matters. Popular American breakfast foods, such as donuts, pastries, and pancakes, are laden with saturated fat and sugar and contain little protein or fiber. On the other side, a healthful breakfast is one that contains nutritious foods that provide energy and make a person feel full, helping prevent overeating later in the day.

 

Eco Party Warehouse has prepared the best foods to eat in the morning:

Eggs

Full of vitamins A, D, and B12, eggs are an inexpensive, undeniably healthy, and delicious ingredient. They are nutritious and contain high-quality protein. Eggs are also very versatile. For example, hard-boiled eggs make a great portable breakfast that can be prepared ahead of time.

Oatmeal

Oats are a nutritional powerhouse - one of the best foods we can eat for many reasons. As a 100% whole-grain, they are filled with fiber, plant-based protein, B-vitamins, and minerals, including iron, calcium, and magnesium. To boost the protein content of an oatmeal breakfast, prepare it with milk instead of water or serve it with a side of eggs or a piece of cheese.

Seeds

 Seeds are extremely nutritious and one of the best sources of fiber around. Sesame, chia, sunflower, pumpkin, flax - the list of great-for-you seeds goes on. The zinc, magnesium, iron, and calcium in seeds will help you stay healthy and boost immunity. Add them to cereal, smoothies (or plain water!), puddings, and baked goods.

Berries

 Berries are delicious and packed with antioxidants. They are lower in sugar than most fruits, yet higher in fiber. Eating more of these foods can help protect your blood vessels from harmful plaque and have a circulation-boosting effect. A good way to add berries to your breakfast is to sprinkle them on cereal, oatmeal, or yogurt, or blend them into smoothies. If fresh berries are expensive or not in season, buy frozen berries, which are just as nutritious.

Nuts

If a person does not eat animal products, eating nuts is another excellent way to get enough protein. Nuts are tasty, satisfying, and nutritious. All types of nuts are high in magnesium, antioxidants, potassium, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. You can add 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts to Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or oatmeal, and provide crunch and flavor while increasing your breakfast nutritional value.

Fruit 

 Fruit can be a delicious part of a nourishing breakfast. All types of fruit contain vitamins, potassium, fiber and are relatively low in calories. Pair fruit with eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt for a well-balanced breakfast that will sustain you for hours.
