Pre packaged options:

Cereals: I’ll tell you what to avoid and give guidelines to follow when choosing the right cereal
– NO Captain Crunch or Fruitty Pebbles 😉 Anything that resembles these types of cereals you should avoid at ALL cost!
– Choose a cereal with:
~ less than 8g of sugar per serving
~ less than 5g of fat
~ less than 50g of carbs
– Good examples are:
~ oatmeal with fresh fruit
~ Kashi protein plus
~ Bran Flakes
~ Cheerios (original)
~ Special K Protein Plus
Refreshing and Healthy:
– The night before:
Mix 1 cup of plain greek yogurt with 1/2 cup of thick cut oats and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
-In the morning:
Add 1/2 cup of frozen fruit with 1 tbsp of honey
Restaurants to grab a HEALTHY breakfast from:
Most places will have the calories posted on the menu…pay attention to them because even though I have listed a restaurant as a healthy option doesn’t mean you can order anything off the menu. There will always be things on the menu that will NOT be a healthy choice so order carefully 🙂 Order egg whites whenever they are available. Absolutely NO donuts and pastries. All the places below have healthy breakfast sandwiches and that’s what I would recommend ordering.
– Subway
– Starbucks
– Panera Bread
– Tim Horton’s
