The Importance Of Breakfast
Healthy breakfasts include...
- A toaster waffle with strawberries and instant hot cocoa made with milk.
This is very healthy because it is loaded with complex carbs, strawberries as well.
A toaster waffle is low on calories, and hot cocoa will give you energy.
- Ham and cheese on an English muffin with carrot sticks and grapefruit juice.
Carrots, and grape juice are loaded with vitamins and minerals.
Ham is chock-full of protein.
Cheese is a great source of calcium.
- Blender shake (made with milk and sliced fruit) and whole-wheat toast.
A shake full of milk and various sliced fruit is filled with lots of vitamins and complex carbs.
Whole-wheat toast is also full of grains and complex carbs.
