The most important meal of the day is breakfast. Many people claim they don't have time for it, but making a good breakfast doesn't have to involve cooking. Many no-cook breakfasts are filling and delicious, and you don't need a ton of time to make them. Pull a few things out of your fruit bowl and get creative. Everyone can use a little morning fuel to jump-start the day.
Fruit Salad
Fruit salad is a quick and easy breakfast that requires little preparation. Best of all, it's filling without bad carbs. Pick out a couple of melons (cantaloupe or watermelon), strawberries, bananas and maybe even a pineapple. Chop them into bite-size pieces, and mix well in a large bowl. Even if you only want a cup of fruit for breakfast, cover the bowl and save it for another day. Cut fruit typically lasts three to four days if refrigerated. Stay away from soft fruits that may fall apart while tossing (e.g., peaches, oranges). They are also more likely to have a shorter shelf life in your refrigerator. Fruit salads are the perfect breakfast for the those who are always in a rush in the morning.
Carnation Instant Breakfast
Contrary to popular belief, Carnation Instant Breakfast is more than just a protein shake. It can account for up to 25 percent of your daily vitamin B intake while providing you with 25 percent of your daily protein and 50 percent of your calcium. It comes in a number of flavors ranging from chocolate to strawberry, just like a milkshake. After you pour the mixture into a cup, all you have to do is add milk and stir. Hold off until later in the morning. This quick breakfast will fill you up and get you out the door.
Special K Bars
Special K has revolutionized the granola bar as we know it with better tasting ingredients that none of us would've thought to be healthy. Special K bars come in seven different flavors: blueberry, strawberry, cinnamon pecan, peaches and berries, honey nut, chocolatey drizzle, and vanilla crisp. The healthy part about them is they're each 90 calories and made out of Special K cereal, which is packed full of vitamins. Unwrap one of these bars, and finish it in two or three bites or crumble it up over yogurt to start your day right. Any flavor will complement your cup of coffee.
