Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Here are some breakfast ideas. First, the traditional ones:

  • Eggs
  • French toast, waffles, or pancakes (try wheat or whole-grain varieties)
  • Cold cereal and milk
  • Hot cereal, such as oatmeal or cream of wheat (try some dried fruit or nuts on top)
  • Whole-grain toast, bagel, or English muffin with cheese
  • Yogurt with fruit or nuts
  • Fruit smoothie

And now for some creative (and yummy) ones:

  • Banana dog (peanut butter, a banana and raisins in a long whole-grain bun)
  • Breakfast quesadilla (shredded cheese on a tortilla, folded in half and micro waved, top with salsa)
  • Country cottage cheese (apple butter mixed with cottage cheese)
  • Fruit and cream cheese sandwich (use strawberries or other fresh fruit)
  • Sandwich (grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly or another favorite)
  • Leftovers (they are not just for dinner anymore!)
