Healthy breakfast: Quick, flexible options

Quick and flexible breakfast options

A healthy breakfast doesn't always have to be a traditional breakfast menu.

Healthy breakfast options include:

  • Cooked oatmeal topped with almonds or dried cranberries
  • A whole-wheat pita stuffed with hard-boiled egg and a vegetable such as spinach
  • A whole-wheat tortilla filled with vegetables, salsa and low-fat shredded cheese
  • A smoothie of fruits, plain yogurt and a spoonful of wheat germ
  • A whole-wheat sandwich with lean meat and low-fat cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and sweet peppers
  • French toast made with whole-wheat bread, eggs whites or an egg substitute, cinnamon and vanilla
