Healthy Breakfast Ideas

• Hot cereals: oatmeal, cream of wheat, creamy rice cereal, or Irish oatmeal, with cinnamon, raisins and/or applesauce (replace cow’s milk with soy or rice milk). Or for a delicious treat, try grits with cooked greens or tomatoes.
• Cold cereals such as raisin bran or Cheerios with non-fat soy or rice milk and/or berries, peach or banana.
• Melon, cantaloupe, bananas, peaches, berries, or any other fruit.
• Whole grain toast, topped with cinnamon, jam or fruit “butters” (avoid fatty dairy butter or margarines).
• Bagels (skip the cream cheese; try hummus, nut butters, or jam instead).
• Oven-roasted “home fries” solo or smothered with “sautéed” mushrooms, peppers and onions.
  

If you like extra protein:

• Fat-free meat substitutes (e.g., Gimme Lean fat-free “sausage”)
• English baked beans or chickpeas
• Burrito filled with “refried” beans, lettuce, and tomato (hold the egg and cheese)
• Tofu scrambler or marinated tempeh
