Two Great Breakfast Recipes for Diabetics

Sometimes you may think that a diabetic has more benefits when it comes to nutrition because they have to be healthy. They don't have a choice. A conventional diet that is filled with sugary and starch-based substances that most Americans are used to and does not do much for the body.

When people hear they have diabetes it is often difficult finding recipes for type 2 diabetes and how to adapt to the new plan. There are lots of recipes for diabetes, even cake and dessert recipes for diabetes. It is not a death sentence!

You often feel so much better after you have had a nutritious meal with fresh fruit and vegetables that would give you a lot more lasting energy throughout the day than a bag of french fries and a coke ever would. Breakfast is a great place to start.

Two Great Breakfast Recipes for Diabetics

Pancakes with fried banana

Healthy Fitness Breakfast - Get Toned, Fit & Strong With a Healthy Fitness Breakfast

A healthy breakfast is one of the keys to a great body, good health - and energy for the rest of the day. But what most people don't understand is that you do not have to eat breakfast first thing in the morning. Here's a simple and healthy breakfast recipe that you can pre-make, ahead of time - and enjoy in the mid to late morning as part of a 'meal shifting' fitness/weight loss plan.

While the muscle-heads reading this article will scream out in fear of not getting enough protein - I will calmly note that since I've cut my protein intake in half, a few years ago (it was way too high) - I have not lost a single ounce of muscle, but I do look better - and I feel much better.

\"breakfast Recipe\"

BREAKFAST TIME: 11am

Healthy Fitness Breakfast - Get Toned, Fit & Strong With a Healthy Fitness Breakfast

Yeah some people may say "Oh, that too late to be eating breakfast!" - but if you are already hip to the 'meal shifting' tactic - then you know how this works. If not - here's a quick summary:

Instead of eating first thing in the morning - you wait until mid to late morning to get your first meal in. Naturally all of your meals get pushed/shifted back a few hours - giving you less opportunity to overeat and consume unnecessary calories.

Here's the recipe:

- 1/3 cup whole oats - cooked on low heat (stove) for 10 minutes in...
- 3/4 cup water

...When cooked - drop on top of...

- 1/2 small/medium banana
- 1 tablespoon dried berry mix (I used Newman's Own Organic)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon powder
- 1 heaping tablespoon of (organic) ground flax seed (this is vital to my daily nutrition)
- 1 strong pinch of stevia extract powder (for all natural, zero calorie sweetness)

Stir it up...

Add some water to tweak the consistency to your preference...

Enjoy!

I eat this about five times per week.

If scheduling this type of breakfast for your self is a challenge - try this...

On Sunday, follow the same recipe as above. Just multiply it by 5. When it is done - divide it up into 5 storage containers - and put them into the refrigerator.

Now you have one for each day of the week.

Done!

No excuses!

A Typical Filipino Breakfast

Filipinos love to eat. An average Filipino eats around six times a day. We eat breakfast usually around 6-7 am, we have some snacks usually around 10am, lunch, more snacks at 3pm and finally dinner.

A typical Filipino breakfast is usually eggs, sunny side up; fried rice and any or all of the favorite Filipino breakfast staples: tocino or sweetened pork strips; tapa, a kind of beef jerky or tuyo, dried salted fish.

Breakfast

These dishes are fairly easy to cook. They require only minimal cooking skills. Fried rice is usually recycled rice from the night before. It is just rice that has cooled, then fried in a little oil with lots of garlic. Tocino and tapa, require a little boiling, when they are soft, the water is usually drained and a little cooking oil is added to fry the meat. Once it has started to caramelize, it is removed from the heat and served hot. Tuyo is usually washed to remove the excess salt and then fried in hot oil.

A Typical Filipino Breakfast

Filipinos are talkative in nature and even early in the morning the mood in the breakfast table is usually festive. Breakfast is usually a time for mom to remind her family to be good in school, to come home on time and for dad to take it easy at work. Although most Filipino mothers work, they still find time to cook these simple fares for breakfast with the family.

Breakfast is a good time for the children to touch base with their parents too. Since both parents usually work and come home late when the children are about to go to bed, kids usually remind their parents of upcoming projects for school or ball games and parent teacher conferences during breakfast.

Other favorite Filipino breakfast dishes are: hotdogs, pork and beans, sardines usually in tomato sauce and corned beef. Since children's classes start early in the Philippines, usually around 7-7:30 in the morning, breakfast food is usually easy to prepare. And rice is usually eaten with whatever viand there is.

Though it is not uncommon to find Filipinos eating cereals, oatmeal, toast or pancakes for breakfast, the tuyo, tapa and tocino will always be all time Filipino breakfast favorites. In some tables, a combination of a cooked and cold breakfast is even common. Mom may prefer oatmeal and fruit to her kids milk and cereal, and dad might opt for the cooked breakfast. It is also a frequent practice in most Filipino homes to eat pan de sal or bread while waiting for a cooked breakfast.

Filipinos definitely believe to eat like kings during breakfast because this gives us more time to chat with each other and enjoy each other's company. It is a time to relax before starting a long day.

Diabetic Breakfast Ideas: Deliciously Simple Breakfast Ideas for Diabetics

Breakfast is the mot important meal of the day. How many times have we heard that? Well it's true, and especially for diabetics. If you're tired of having the same thing every day, you can switch up your morning food routine with some great diabetic breakfast ideas.

A recent study done in the UK suggests that what we eat for breakfast has a bearing on how our bodies react to lunch. According to the study, eating soon after waking up in the morning may help stabilize blood glucose levels later during the day. The small-scale study investigated metabolic changes in eight obese adults with type 2 diabetes.

Breakfast

The subjects were divided into two groups--one group had breakfast soon after waking up in the morning and the other group skipped breakfast altogether. The researchers noted how blood glucose levels differed between the groups, and found that those who had breakfast showed a much lower spike in blood glucose after lunch, compared to those who didn't have breakfast. The two groups had similar levels of insulin.

Diabetic Breakfast Ideas: Deliciously Simple Breakfast Ideas for Diabetics

What this means for diabetics is, starting the day with a proper meal composed of healthy diabetic breakfast foods can help steady blood glucose levels. Clearly, eating healthy meals in moderate portions and at scheduled times is the best way to manage diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends having a similar amount of carbohydrates for breakfast every day. Consistent carbohydrate intake for each meal helps keep your blood sugar levels within range. The recommended amount is between 45 and 60g of carbohydrate for each meal.

With this in mind, let's take a look at some healthy breakfast foods for diabetics.

Cereals

Foods that contain carbohydrates, such as starches, milk, fruits and yogurt can raise blood-sugar levels. If you can control your carbohydrate intake, you will be better able to manage your diabetes. A healthy breakfast, especially during the colder months, is hot cereal. You can prepare a healthy diabetes breakfast by adding fruit and a half-cup of milk to a cup of any hot cereal. A staple in diabetic breakfast ideas is a cup of cooked hot oatmeal, two tablespoons of raisins and a half-cup of skim milk.

Cold cereal is also a healthy diabetes breakfast option for diabetics. You should choose unsweetened cereals that have 2.5g of fiber per serving, at the very least. To prepare a healthy breakfast with 45 to 60g of carbohydrate, add three-quarters of a cup of whole-grain cold cereal to a cup of skim milk. Add one slice of whole-wheat toast with one tablespoon of margarine and you will have a great breakfast to start the day.

French toast

Another healthy option for diabetic breakfast ideas is French toast made with whole-wheat bread, egg whites and skim milk. To stay within your 45 to 60g carbohydrate limit, have two slices of French toast made from whole-wheat bread, with two tablespoons of light pancake syrup and a cup of skim milk.

Shakes

If you're pressed for time or don't feel like eating anything soon after you wake up, having a smoothie may be a good option. A delicious smoothie, packed with essential nutrients, is one of the most fulfilling diabetic breakfast foods. To prepare a healthy breakfast smoothie, add two servings of your favorite fruits, such as a cup of whole strawberries and a small banana, to a cup of skim milk. Add a teaspoon of peanut butter or wheat germ, and blend with ice. You can also substitute the skim milk with nonfat yogurt.

Egg sandwich

Eggs are rich in proteins and can be incorporated into several diabetic breakfast ideas. Eggs help you feel sated, and can make you feel full until the next meal. You can prepare an egg sandwich to start the day off with a healthy breakfast.

To prepare a delicious egg sandwich for breakfast, cook one egg into an omelet and add a slice of fat-free cheese and a slice of Canadian bacon to a whole-wheat toasted English muffin. Top off with a medium-sized banana for a healthy breakfast that'll keep you full for hours. You can also choose to have a bagel instead of an English muffin. Be sure to have a 2oz bagel to control the carbs. Remember, if you have high cholesterol, you should never have more than two egg yolks in a week. You can instead opt for egg whites or egg substitutes.

There are tons of great diabetic breakfast ideas for all palates. If you like fresh fruits, you can add more of that in your meals by having breakfast shakes or smoothies. Or if you like whole-grains, substitute it for fruits or breakfast meats.

Wedding Breakfast - What Is The Wedding Breakfast?

Even though the name tends to imply a morning meal, a wedding breakfast is far from what the word 'breakfast' is generally used for. The breakfast is, nonetheless, the most important occasion that follows a wedding. As the name suggests, it is a form of "breaking of a fast". In this case, it follows the period of fasting for the bride and the groom before the wedding. The breakfast is the first meal that breaks this fast following the wedding ceremony.

The reason why the Wedding Breakfast should be given paramount importance is quite evident from this. It is the most important meal for the bride and the groom in the sense that it is their first meal together as a lawfully wedded couple. Considering the significance of this part of a wedding ceremony, it is also quite understandable that the breakfast follows certain protocols of etiquette and traditional conventions.

Breakfast

Another important aspect of the Wedding Breakfast is that it is a family occasion in its truest sense. It is one occasion, where every member of the family, who has had at least some role in the wedding, is present. Moreover, the families of the bride and the groom also dine together for the first time, after the marital alliance has been established between them. It is, therefore an important that the Wedding Breakfast be organized properly so that everybody enjoys the breakfast with the sense of being together, rather than making it uncomfortable for the bridal party.

Wedding Breakfast - What Is The Wedding Breakfast?

The occasion of the breakfast ideally follows a number of rules. The seats are ideally divided into the "top table" and the "receiving line". The top table, facing the guests sitting along the receiving line, primarily consists of the families of the bride and the groom. The groom is ideally made to sit on the right side of the bride. Their respective families sit adjacent to each of them, the general layout being that the father sits on the right side of the mother. The chief bridesmaid and the best man sit in the corners.

An important aspect of the breakfast is the announcement of the three traditional toasts. The response to these toasts is normally done by the groom on the behalf of the bride, and then by the best man on behalf of the accompanying bridesmaids. The Toastmaster ensures that etiquette is followed properly during the Wedding Breakfast.

The Wedding Breakfast, in short, is the opening meal for a happily married life.

Why Breakfast is Good for You

Ok... If you are reading this is because you do want to hear the "why breakfast is good for you" sermon.

Well, you may have read it in the paper, or maybe you've heard it on the radio on your way to work. It's almost a cliche! Almost everybody knows that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day".

Breakfast

If it's so good... how come many people skip breakfast?

Why Breakfast is Good for You

People do. There are lots of excuses for not having breakfast, including (but not limited to):

Lack of time

not being a morning person

trying to lose weight

Not finding anything good for breakfast, and

having forgotten to have it

A while ago I used to skip breakfast too.

Later on I would have "whatever", and then a very heavy lunch (depending on how hungry I would be by lunch time).

But when I started paying attention to what I ate (and how and how much), I realised the damage I was causing to my body by skipping the most important meal of the day.

What happens to our bodies when we skip breakfast?

Understanding this question will help you realise "why breakfast is good for you", and hopefully, you'll reconsider making breakfast a must in your everyday life.

For starters, if you skip breakfast you're making it harder for your body to lose weight, and your energy levels will tend to be lower than those of a person who looks after herself.

Why?

Think about it. By the time breakfast is due, your body has not received any food for about 8 hours (a third of your day). Compare this with your "day" hours, when you have 3 (if not more) meals.

It is amazing how, if you are used to skipping breakfast, you condition yourself to feel "ok", but a close examination of your "fasting" mood would reveal that your levels of energy are low. What happens is that your body is rested at the end of a good sleep, but you still need the energy after you wake up.

Your body does not stop just because you go to sleep. It goes on breathing, digesting, pumping up blood everywhere in your body, and moving (amongst many other physiological processes).

It constantly needs fuel (ie food), and even if you're not hungry early in the morning, your body will still need the extra energy contained in a breakfast meal. It makes sense, doesn't it?

But breakfast is more than an energy source. Breakfast is good for you because it:

provides glucose to your brain, making you mentally efficient and alert. You get "the edge" by having breakie (Australian for "breakfast"); ;-)
reduces your cholesterol levels (depending on what you eat for breakie, of course!);

gives you vital nutrients and vitamins;

makes you slimmer, by jump-starting your metabolism (how quickly your body burns energy), which is slow after relative inactivity at night.
makes you "Mr or Ms Happy". An energized and balanced meal may alter your mode and make you feel better during the day.

What to have for breakfast?

The opposite of skipping breakfast is having the wrong things for breakfast (and possibly too much of it too!).

Every meal is capable of giving you energy. The question is "how long will that energy last for?". This is important to know because that will determine whether you still feel "charged up" till lunch time, or whether you're starving by 10 AM.

Avoid things like chocolate chip muffins and other high sugar meals. The energy levels are high (and they taste deliciuos, I know!) but short-lived, and the residual makes you bigger and heavier. So, these foods are a no-no.

Fresh fruits and cereals, are a healthier choice, but you have to be mindful of the sugar contained in cereals. Some of them can have enough sugar a whole family in one single serving!

But what if you're not "a breakfast person?"

There is no such a thing as a "breakfast person".

If you need to do something for your health, you do it, and you can condition yourself to make having breakfast part of your life and take pleasure on it.

But I've got a couple of tips that can help you in your transition to having breakfast:

Know "why" breakfast is important. Reading this article was a good start; ;-)

Buy fruits and cereal (but mind the amount of sugar that some cereals contain);

Check out my (ahem... )delicious low fat breakfast recipes and try some (you'll like them, I promise);

plan your meals. Planning ahead to have interesting and tasty meals for breakfast will help you enjoy it;

If you don't have the time to prepare breakie (you don't have 5 minutes for yourself!?), you may choose a good low fat fast food outlet and be good and have a low-fat-low-sugar-meal.

But whatever you do... do have breakfast!

... it's good for you! ;-)

Have a great day!

Importance of Breakfast - Why It Is the Most Important Meal of the Day

Most people agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yet food magazines and cookbooks feature mostly the latest and greatest dinner recipes.

Breakfast means to break the fast after 10 to 12 hours without eating. During the night the body is busy with breathing and other physiological processes. The body uses the stored glucose to provide the necessary energy for these processes.

Breakfast

Upon waking up, it is important to replenish the "batteries" of the body by supplying it with nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, and of course, water. A complete and balanced breakfast gives someone the opportunity to be satiated until lunch time and even lessens the urge to binge at dinnertime.

Importance of Breakfast - Why It Is the Most Important Meal of the Day

Breakfast replenishes the level of glucose that your body needs. Adults and students alike have better concentration and a heightened sense of well-being.

Breakfast hampers the urge to eat sugary food in mid-morning. As a result, someone eating breakfast is more likely to lose weight or at least maintain weight. When you eat breakfast, your metabolism rate increases and so does the level of blood sugar, Enzymes, acting as catalyst, break down fat, which releases energy.

A balanced breakfast provides energy for the entire day. In other words, a hearty dinner or lunch cannot effectively make up for the lack of nutrients due to skipping breakfast.

Muscles need glucose for increased energy levels and so does the brain; which explains why people eating breakfast have better concentration. This extra physical and mental energy leads to better performance of daily activities.

Eating breakfast stabilizes blood sugar level and reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Platelets, the clotting cells of blood, become stickier in the morning before breakfast. This stickiness increases the tendency for a blood clot to form during the morning hours, which may result in a heart attack. Eating breakfast makes the platelets less sticky and therefore, decreases the chance of a heart attack, which tends to occur mostly in the morning.

Eating breakfast is associated with improved strength and endurance along with a better attitude toward school or work. Most school districts have a breakfast program to ensure that children can cope with their academic activities. Children who go to school hungry cannot perform well. Consequently, Congress enacted the School Breakfast program as part of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966. Children who ate breakfast had improved test scores as well as reduced rate of tardiness and absenteeism.

People who eat breakfast regularly are more likely to rate their health as excellent or good. Eating a bigger meal in the morning and a smaller meal at night optimizes your daily energy level.

3 Simple and Healthy Breakfast Recipes

The most common reason for skipping breakfast or eating a high-fat breakfast is the lack of knowing how to eat healthier.For example, if I laid out an entire eating plan for you and all you had to do is follow it, life would be great. Sometimes it's not that simple, so here are 3 healthy breakfast ideas for you to get you started:

1. Granola and Fat Free Yogurt - My personal favorite! It's simple, tasty, and very healthy. Start off by getting Fat-Free plain yogurt and your choice of granola. Personally, I look for either high fiber, flaxseed added, or both. Once you have the ingredients, the recipe is simple. All you do is fill your bowl with yogurt and sprinkle a handful of granola on top. For additional great flavor, add fresh fruit!

\"breakfast Recipe\"

One simple bowl can give you up to 25% of your entire day's recommended protein. The best part- you won't feel hungry after eating this healthy breakfast choice and the fiber and protein will give you that added "pep in your step" to make it through your day.

3 Simple and Healthy Breakfast Recipes

2. Fruitty Butter Shake - An excellent source of protein and a great way to start your day- not to mention one of the tastiest shakes you will ever eat! Put all or some of these ingredients into the blender: 10-15 blueberries, 5 strawberries, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 teaspoon flaxseed, 3 tablespoons plain fat free yogurt. These are my favorites, please add or subtract to suite your needs.

This shake does wonders for your energy level and gets you through the day, feeling like you are literally on cruise control!

3. Veggie Shooter! - Everything you can imagine a protein shake being, and more! All you need is an open mind for this one, and get ready to watch your energy levels take off. Again, get the blender out and mix these ingredients: Squeeze 1/2 lemon into the blender and 1 full cup of water, then add chopped celery, cucumber, fresh spinach, carrots, and parsley. Liquify and enjoy!

I like to drink this 1 or 2 times per week. This ensures I am getting the necessary amounts of potassium, magnesium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C. Another benefit of this shake: you won't get that "full" feeling of a lead ball in your stomach, yet your body will be satisfied for the next few hours!

\"breakfast Recipe\"

A Full Course

English Breakfast Recipe

When you look at an English breakfast for the first time, you could easily question whether it was a full course meal or a breakfast. The fact that the breakfast is so large and has so many different options on the plate easily makes one look in awe. With a full plate of pudding, sausages and the various vegetables like mushrooms you will not leave the table hungry. A complimentary tomato quarter or halve is usually the bright center piece of a plate like this. This type of breakfast is designed to load up with protein and carbs in order to get through to the often later large meal that could be served as late as 8 pm. This will help in combination with a light snack at tea time, so that you can curb hunger.

A great English breakfast recipe can be found in most homes in England today, just as much so as at a restaurant. This is great for those that either does not want to cook so they dine out, or those that simple do not see the need to go out to have a great breakfast meal.

No Waste

If you are someone that simply cannot live with food waste, you could always use an English breakfast recipe like Bubble And Squeak. This type of recipe uses what was eaten the day before and stored in the icebox. Everything including vegetables and even meats can be combined with mashed potatoes and places in the skillet. The Bubble and Squeak is the sound that the dish will make while it is heating in the pan. This is an excellent dish from England and one that will allow you to clear out any leftovers that may have accumulated over the last day.

Whatever it is that you choose to go with in regards to a fine English breakfast recipe, you can be sure that you are going to have a hearty early meal. This will help you get through the day and you will find that you have a decent level of energy as a result of the breakfast. Large and bountiful is what this breakfast can be described as, so you will never have to concern yourself with hunger.

\"breakfast Recipes\"

Strawberry Fields - The Classic Breakfast Shake

Coconut Water Breakfast Shake Recipes - Strawberry Fields, Loco Coco Coffee, and Blueberry Maca Haze

  • 1 1/2 cups of coconut water
  • 1 cup of frozen strawberries. When strawberries are in season, I like to thinly slice and freeze my own. Thinly sliced puree better in the blender, but whole strawberries will work. Let the whole strawberries sit in the blender, submerged in the coco water for a couple of minutes to let them thaw out. Then, add the other ingredients.
  • 1/2 to a whole banana. Sometimes, when I have bananas that I haven't eaten, that get really soft before they're too old, I slice them up and put them in the freezer for my shakes.
  • 1/3 cup of raw oatmeal
  • Splash of orange juice
  • For a protein boost, add two scoops of all-natural, unsalted peanut butter or vanilla protein powder (if you don't mind adding "unnatural" ingredients).
  • Blend for 30-60 seconds

Loco Coco Coffee - The"SpoilurSelf" Breakfast Shake

  • We want about 1 1/2 cups of coffee that were brewed using coconut water. It's better to plan ahead and put the coffee in the refrigerator the night before so it's cold. Coconut water has a very mild sweetness and will be undetectable in your next one or two batches of coffee that are brewed.
  • One medium to large banana that has been thinly sliced and frozen.
  • 2-3 large tablespoons of all natural, unsalted peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup of raw oatmeal
  • Put in the blender and blend
  • While blending, add about 2 or three tablespoons of chocolate syrup, preferably, an all natural, dark chocolate syrup.

Blueberry Maca Haze - Antioxidant Packed - Mayan Warrior Breakfast Shake

  • 1 1/2 cups of coconut water
  • 2 tablespoons of maca powder. Maca is a root, indiginous to Peru that has been used to for thousands of years. It's benefits include: increased energy and endurance, it helps build muscle, it rejuvenates skin and can help improve sexual function.
  • 1 cup of frozen blueberries.
  • 1/2 banana
  • 2-3 large tablespoons of all natural unsalted peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup raw oatmeal
  • Blend for 30-60 seconds

Give these coconut water breakfast shake recipes a try and get your day started on the right foot!

Easy Quinoa Breakfast Recipes

There are plenty of easy quinoa breakfast recipes that you can find online but I'll only share 3 of my favorites. Quinoa is so versatile that you can practically add anything to it without overpowering the other ingredients.

One of my favorite breakfast recipes is the nutty cinnamon quinoa recipe. You will need a cup of low fat milk or skim milk, a cup of water, a cup of quinoa (well-rinsed), 2 cups fresh blueberries or strawberries, ½ teaspoon finely ground cinnamon, 1/3 cup chopped pecans (or any nut that you prefer) and 4 teaspoons organic nectar.

\"breakfast Recipes\"

This is so easy to make, all you have to do is boil the milk, water and quinoa in a saucepan over high heat and then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until most the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat and set it aside for 5 minutes while covered. Mix in cinnamon and blueberries and top with the chopped nuts. Drizzle with nectar and serve.

Easy Quinoa Breakfast Recipes

Another easy quinoa breakfast recipe that I like is the hot quinoa breakfast cereal. You will only need a cup of cooked quinoa, thinly sliced apples, seedless raisins, dash of cinnamon, milk and honey. Mix all the dry ingredients together and serve with milk. You can add honey or low-calorie sugar to taste.

The last easy quinoa breakfast recipe that I found is the peanut butter quinoa recipe. For the ingredients, you need a cup of quinoa, 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter, 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 cup of milk, roasted pecans, raisins or dried cranberries and any fruits of your choice (bananas, strawberries, peaches).

Boil the quinoa with milk, sugar, cinnamon sticks and peanut butter. Reduce the heat to low until the milk is absorbed. Set it aside and cover it for 5 minutes. Add all the ingredients and serve. Now that's easy right?

7 Easy Breakfast Recipes - Healthy Breakfast in Less Than 5 Minutes

A healthy breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many of us skip it because of time constraints. Well, now there's no more excuses!

There are several easy breakfast recipes that you can throw together in less time than it takes you to find your keys.

\"Easy Breakfast Recipes\"

Did you know that numerous studies have found that people who eat breakfast are often slimmer than those who don't? One of the main reasons is this: When you sleep, you're obviously not eating for about 8 hours (unless you have some serious sleepwalking cravings). Your body is in a fasted state, so everything slows down. But, the sooner you eat upon waking, the sooner your metabolism is kicked back into gear for the day.

7 Easy Breakfast Recipes - Healthy Breakfast in Less Than 5 Minutes

However, if you skip breakfast, then your metabolism is at a near standstill for all the hours you were asleep, plus the additional hours before your first meal. This is exactly the time when fat settles in and unpacks its bags (and rolls).

And to those who already eat breakfast everyday and are patting themselves on the back, you're not out of the woods yet! Even the most devoted breakfast eater has room for improvement, because a healthy breakfast is the key to weight loss, improved health, and prolonged energy.

Sure, Pop Tarts and bagels will get your metabolism going, but they certainly aren't the healthiest choices. You need a bigger breakfast (around 500 calories) with at least 20 grams of protein to get your body started the right way and keep you satisfied for longer.

OK, this is all getting a bit complicated now, right? How could you possibly have time to make a 500 calorie breakfast with enough protein, vitamins, and minerals to actually do some good?

7 Easy Breakfast Recipes: Healthy Breakfast in Less Than 5 Minutes

If any of these make your mouth water, just follow the easy instructions on how to whip them up before your windshield is defrosted:

  1. Blueberry Smoothie With Toasted-Cheese Sandwich
  2. Prep time: 4 minutes 2 slices whole-wheat bread 1/2 c Kashi Go Lean Crunch! cereal 1 c fat-free milk 1 c frozen blueberries 1 1-oz slice Cheddar cheese Pop the bread into the toaster. Dump the cereal, milk, and berries into a blender and liquefy. Stick a slice of Cheddar between the warm slices of toast and nuke the sandwich in a microwave for 15 seconds. It tastes grilled -- but isn't. Benefits: "The cheese and milk in this meal are essential for building and maintaining new muscle," says Christine Rosenbloom, Ph.D., R.D., a professor of nutrition at Georgia State University. "The whole grains in the bread and cereal will help lower cholesterol, and the minerals in the milk and cheese will help keep blood-pressure levels down." Per meal: 509 calories, 26 grams (g) protein, 75 g carbohydrates, 14 g total fat, 12 g fiber
  3. Grab-and-Go Breakfast
  4. Prep time: 1 minute 1 medium apple 1/2 pint fat-free milk 1 bran Vita muffin 1 pack Skippy Squeeze Stix peanut butter Slice the apple, grab the milk, muffin, and peanut butter, and go. Squeeze the peanut butter out of its pack onto your apple slices as you eat. Benefits: Vita muffins (vitalicious.com) contain 100 percent of your recommended intake of several important nutrients, including vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, and E. Foods high in monounsaturated fats -- like peanut butter -- may boost testosterone levels. This meal should help you burn energy more efficiently and lift more weight at the gym. Per meal: 506 calories, 20 g protein, 87 g carbohydrates, 12 g total fat, 15 g fiber
  5. Minute Omelette with Toast
  6. Prep time: 2 minutes 1 egg 3/4 c frozen spinach, thawed 1 slice Canadian bacon, diced 2 slices whole-wheat bread 1 Tbsp almond butter 1 c Welch's grape juice Stir together the egg, spinach, and Canadian bacon and pour onto a plate coated with nonstick spray. Microwave for 1 minute or until the egg is fully cooked. Toast the bread and eat it with the almond butter. Chase everything with grape juice. Benefits: Monounsaturated fat in the almond spread will help prevent spikes and drops in blood sugar, which can leave you feeling tired or crabby. Grape juice gives you an antioxidant, called resveratrol, that not only helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels but also helps improve bloodflow to the heart. Per meal: 540 calories, 25 g protein, 73 g carbohydrates, 19 g total fat, 8 g fiber
  7. Two PB-and-Banana Wraps With Milk
  8. Prep time: 2 minutes 2 Tbsp peanut butter 2 Eggo Special K waffles 1 medium banana 1/2 pint fat-free chocolate milk Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter over each (briefly microwaved) waffle. Divide the banana between them and roll each to make wraps. Wash down with chocolate milk. Benefits: Eggo's Special K waffles supply complex carbohydrates, which break down slowly in the body and stimulate the production of serotonin, a calming brain chemical. The banana is packed with potassium -- a heart protector. Per meal: 570 calories, 23 g protein, 90 g carbohydrates, 16 g total fat, 7 g fiber
  9. The Santa Fe Burrito
  10. Prep time: 4 minutes 2 eggs 1 c Santa Fe frozen mixed vegetables (black beans, peppers, and corn) 1 flour tortilla 1/2 c low-fat shredded Cheddar cheese 1/4 c salsa Mix the eggs and vegetables and spread the mixture on a plate coated with nonstick spray. Cook in the microwave for 1 minute, stir with a fork, and microwave again until the eggs are cooked and the vegetables warm. Pile onto a flour tortilla, top with shredded Cheddar cheese and salsa, fold, and eat. Benefits: "Without protein, guys can lose muscle mass quickly," says William J. Evans, Ph.D., a professor of geriatrics, physiology, and nutrition at the University of Arkansas. This meal is packed with it. Per meal: 530 calories, 36 g protein, 53 g carbohydrates, 18 g total fat, 6 g fiber
  11. Black-Cherry Smoothie and Peanut-Butter Oatmeal
  12. Prep time: 4 minutes 1 c R.W. Knudsen black-cherry juice 1 c frozen strawberries 1 c frozen unsweetened cherries 2 Tbsp protein powder 2/3 c oatmeal 1 Tbsp peanut butter 1/2 c fat-free milk Blend the cherry juice, frozen fruit, and protein powder until smooth. Microwave the oatmeal according to the directions on the package. Stir in the peanut butter and milk. Benefits: Men who ate at least one serving of whole-grain cereal (like oatmeal) a day had the lowest risk of dying of any cause, including heart disease, according to a 5-year study of 86,000 doctors. Cherries and strawberries are natural sources of salicylates -- the active ingredient in aspirin -- making them ideal for relieving stress-induced morning headaches. Per meal: 600 calories, 27 g protein, 100 g carbohydrates, 11 g total fat, 10 g fiber
  13. Almond-Butter-and-Raisin Sandwich With Smoothie
  14. Prep time: 1 minute 2 Tbsp almond butter 2 Eggo Special K waffles 1 Tbsp raisins 1 Stonyfield Farm smoothie Spread the almond butter on the waffles. Sprinkle the raisins over one waffle and top with the other. Wash down with the smoothie. Benefits: Whole-grain waffles help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and improve your body's processing of insulin and glucose, a benefit that can reduce your risk of becoming diabetic. Per meal: 600 calories, 21 g protein, 86 g carbohydrates, 22 g total fat, 7 g fiber

Of course, you can combine parts of these, opting certain ingredients in and out. Just make sure you are staying close to the same macronutrient breakdown in terms of protein, carbs, vitamins, and minerals.

Bagel Melts

7 Cheap and Easy Breakfast Recipes You Can Make Quickly

Buy a bag of your favorite bagels either from the grocery store or your local bagel shop. Bagels come in so many flavors that you'll never get bored and you can put anything on them.

Instead of the usual cream cheese, make a bagel melt with simple ingredients. Split the bagel in half and spread with mustard. Place slices of cheese, bacon (regular or Canadian) and tomato on top. Place bagel halves on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Breakfast Cookies

Bring some fun to breakfast by making breakfast cookies. There are several healthy breakfast cookie recipes online that are easy to make ahead of time. Both kids and adults will enjoy this morning treat.

Some favorites are banana oatmeal, carrot oatmeal and peanut butter. They can be made with wheat flour, brown sugar, raisins, nuts and even cereal.

Egg Sandwich

Eggs are cheap and very easy to whip up in the morning. You don't have to be a good cook to make scrambled eggs. If you love those fast food egg sandwiches, make your own.

To make a sausage egg sandwich take a biscuit, English muffin or roll and slice it in half. Scramble one egg to taste. Prepare a fresh or frozen sausage patty according to directions. Butter and grill bread slices until lightly toasted. Place sausage patty onto bread and top with egg and cheese slice. Place remaining bread half on top.

Cereal

You should always have one or two boxes of your favorite cereal on hand for a fast breakfast. Cereal is so popular that manufacturers often make coupons available for various brands. Stores often will put certain brands on sale, so keep an eye out and stock up when the price is right.

Fruit Smoothie

Make use of that blender and throw together a quick fruit smoothie. Most smoothie recipes combine fresh fruit like berries, bananas, peaches, mango or pineapple with yogurt, milk, soy milk, sherbet or ice cream. Wheat germ or whey powder can be added for an extra energy boost.

Quick Bread

Quick breads are made with tasty ingredients like carrots, applesauce, pumpkin, squash and zucchini. These should be made ahead of time, as they need about 15 minutes of preparation and 40 minutes to bake.

You can spread your quick bread with honey, butter, fruit spread and cream cheese or eat plain.

Yogurt Parfait

Like those yogurt parfaits you see advertised, but don't want to spend the money? Make your own at home. Grab a bowl and add spoonfuls of your favorite fresh or frozen yogurt. Chop up a granola bar or use bulk granola from the store and add on top. Sprinkle with fresh berries or thawed frozen berries or bananas. Enjoy!
