Breakfast

Chapter 8: Diet Breakfast
           
     As college students, we often find it difficult to get up in the morning to eat breakfast. I know that in the past, I would rather get more sleep than eat breakfast. However, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gives us an extra energy boost for daily activities. If you are concerned with getting more sleep, I would advise you to change your sleep routine. Instead of going to bed at twelve o'clock, try going to bed at 10 o'clock. With this new alteration, you will feel rejuvenated once waking up, giving you the energy to eat breakfast. For most young adults and teenagers, we desire the "unhealthy" side of breakfast. We enjoy eating pancakes covered in syrup, sausages, bacon strips, waffles, and French Toast. Although many of these foods taste delicious, we must look at the healthy side. Below is a list of healthy breakfast meals.

Meal 1:
2 Egg Whites (keep salt and pepper at a minimum)
Apple Slices with peanut butter
A side of greek yogurt with almonds on top

Meal 2:
Steel Cut Oatmeal with brown sugar
A side of raspberries
One hard boiled egg

Meal 3:
Sliced bananas with peanut butter
Ground Turkey mixed with 2 scrambled eggs (add tomatoes, cilantro, pepper, and potatoes)

Meal 4:
Whole grain toast with almond butter spread
Chicken breast

*For drinks, you can make a fruit smoothie with no added sugars or water with lemon. If you want to drink orange juice, buy the 50% reduced sugar Tropicana orange juice.
