You don’t have to cut yourself short on breakfast. Just choose among some simpler versions of breakfasts that can be ready and waiting for you on a time-crunched morning:
*A piece of fresh fruit, a slice of cheese and/or a handful of nuts
*A slice of whole grain bread topped with a tablespoon of nut butter
*A cup of yogurt topped with nuts and berries
*Whole grain cereal topped with nuts and sliced banana
*Ready to go oatmeal: at night before you go to bed, put one-quarter to one-third cup of oatmeal in a 4-cup glass measuring bowl and add enough water to slightly more than cover, then cover the bowl with a paper towel or plate and refrigerate. The next morning, add more water and/or milk or juice, and pop in the microwave for 1 minute on high. Take out and stir. Put back in for another minute. Transfer to a cereal bowl, top with some berries, nuts, cinnamon, and maybe a little maple syrup or honey.
*Keep a few hard-boiled eggs, preferably organic, on hand in your refrigerator. Rich in protein and hard-to-find important brain nutrients like choline, eggs are well nicknamed “the perfect food.” A piece of whole grain toast, topped with a teaspoon of organic butter and a hard-boiled egg will keep your brain fueled throughout a hectic morning.
*Consider a blenderized smoothie made with the World’s Healthiest Foods. Add a tablespoon of almond or peanut butter, a cup of milk (soy if you prefer or need to avoid dairy), a cup of frozen berries or a bannana, and maybe a teaspoon or two of blackstrap molasses to your blender. Blend till smooth, and you’ll have a morning’s worth of healthy nutrition.
*Consider re-thinking your idea of breakfast. A nut butter and honey whole wheat bread sandwich made and refrigerated the night before; a cup of cooked garbanzo beans, warmed up and seasoned with a little olive oil or butter and turmeric; or leftovers from last night’s deliciously healthy dinner can make a very satisfying, ready-to-go breakfast.

A large healthy breakfast will not only jump start your day but keep you going strong till lunch. A big breakfast also gets your metabolism going early which is essential to fast weight loss.
