Fast, Healthy Breakfasts

Stay strong all morning long with these delish ideas

Dear Beautyqueen,

I need some new healthy breakfast options. Got any ideas for a girl on the go?

Dear Mary,

As far as I can tell the world is divided into two equal groups. Those who thought Heidi and Spencer were a cute couple and…no, that’s not it. Those who think Paris has a great singing voice and those…no, that’s not it either. Those who eat cold pizza and doughnuts for breakfast and those who eat healthy. Yeah, that’s it. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, I’m in the healthy group.

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day (don’t tell lunch or dinner that I said that). It gives you the energy you need to get through your morning and helps you from bingeing on the bad stuff when the lunchtime hunger pangs hit! Check out my top choices:

Kashi GoLean Crunchy!: With both protein and fiber to help you stay satisfied and meet your daily needs, as well as calcium, folic acid, iron, and vitamin E, GoLean Crunchy! bars are perfect for women on the go!

MorningStar Farms Veggie Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit: Who doesn’t love a complete nutritious breakfast that’s ready in just 45 seconds? Packed with protein and all things yummy, you can’t go wrong with this breakfast sandwich.

Jamba Juice Steel Cut Oatmeal: Start your day off right with organic steel cut oats slow cooked with soy milk and complemented with your choice of toppings. It’s a hot bowl of morning motivation and it’s so easy to grab a bowl on your way to work.

VitaTops: Forget the traditional sugar bombs, these decadent but healthy muffin tops can satisfy a sweet tooth without wandering into the cheesecake-filled dark side.

Kellogg’s Eggo Nutri-Grain Whole Wheat Waffles: Heat two waffles in the toaster and voilà! Way easier than mixing the batter yourself, right? Add some nut butter for an even bigger protein boost.

Corazonas Oatmeal Squares: With 13-16g of whole grain in each square, plus 5g of fiber and 6g of protein, these bars make a perfectly filling breakfast to tide you over until lunch.
