Skipping breakfast is rarely a good idea, but starting the day with unhealthy choices won’t do your body any favors either. It’s easy to eat right: the ideal breakfast should provide one quarter to one third of your day's protein, a fair amount of fiber (as low-glycemic carbohydrates) and little fat. Here are some quick, healthful ideas:
A bowl of whole-grain cereal with calcium-fortified, carageenan free, soymilk and some fruit. Add a tablespoon of freshly ground flaxseed on top as a source of omega-3 fatty acids.
A soy shake (blend 1/2 cake silken tofu, 1/2 cup apple juice, 1 cup frozen organic strawberries and 1 banana).
Keep some hardboiled eggs (choose free-range, omega-3 fortified eggs) on hand to eat with whole-grain toast. Include a glass of calcium-fortified orange juice and a container of nonfat plain yogurt. Add your own fruit or granola.
