The healthy, easy way to make breakfast

A balanced breakfast is essential for making sure your body has the energy it needs to get through the day. Therefore, your morning meal should always include protein, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables.

Ideas for a balanced breakfast
If you keep your pantry stocked with the essentials, putting together a healthy breakfast will be easy. Some options are:

• Whole grain cereal with dried fruit, yogurt and a small handful of nuts
• Multigrain toast with nut butter and sliced fruit
• Oatmeal sweetened with apple sauce and a glass of milk
• Nut muffin and a fruit smoothie
• Vegetable omelet and a whole wheat bagel

If you’re pressed for time in the morning, prepare your breakfast the night before. You could make overnight oats, assemble the ingredients for a smoothie or pour a bowl of cereal so it’s ready when you wake up.
