Take The Time To Eat Healthy Breakfast Foods

By Jamis Hartley

Breakfast foods that are fast and easy do not always provide for your body the good start you need for your day. No matter how active or busy you are, breakfast is still the most important meal of the day.

Breakfast foods typically have high sugar content if you purchase many of the ready made cereals that are on the market today. This isn't necessarily a good start for you or your children and tends to let them down about mid-morning.

Gaining the right balance of nutrients and a food that's going to support your efforts all morning can be a challenge. This is especially true if your morning is hurried, as most are. Given the morning tasks that take place every day in households with two workers and young children, getting things together for breakfast may be the last thing you think of in the morning.

Realistically, it can be the last thing you think of it in the morning, if you do some planning. Doing a little pre-planning to make breakfast foods that will give your body the right balance of great taste and good nutrition is worth the effort.

Many of us don't do breakfast foods because we simply don't think of it. The best time to worry about breakfast, particularly if you're a busy household, isn't in the morning. Getting breakfast ready may be done on the weekend or the evening when you've got a few minutes to spare.

It can be very helpful at this pre-planning time to ask the kids or other members of the family what they might like to have for breakfast. Helping them choose a healthy lifestyle is much easier taught during the low stress times on a comfortable couch with no deadlines than in the middle of chaos in the morning. After all, healthy living is a family matter.

If the kids have some input into whats going to be on their plate they are a lot more likely to eat it. If they have a hand in making those breakfast foods, they are not only more likely to eat them, but also to take some lessons in pre-planning and a good healthy breakfast that may stick with them.

The weekend, for most, is a great time to put your plan into action. Yummy muffins on Sunday morning is a delicious treat. Why not throw in an extra pan full of muffins and wrap them up in the refrigerator for a breakfast later in the week. Whole wheat pancakes store particularly well and taste great when warmed up a few days later. Taking a little extra time to double your breakfasts over the weekend or on any unhurried morning and storing those breakfast foods for a later date should provide great rewards.

Give yourself an edge when it comes to breakfast foods by making them ahead of time and getting what you and your kids like, and what your body needs. The advantages you get from using good grains and avoiding processed cereals will be apparent in the extra energy that you feel at work or school. - 17274
