We’ve all heard that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” and 93 percent of Americans agree, yet studies show that only 44% of the population are having breakfast every day. Although eggs are synonymous with breakfast, there’s a world of possibilities when it comes to breakfast ideas. Here are our top three must-try ideas that will set your mood for the day:
Good ol’ Oats
Oats are one of the healthiest grains, a source of essential vitamins, fiber and minerals. Kick start your day with a bowl of creamy, crunchy oatmeal and say goodbye those midmorning vending machine visits. Take half a cup of old-fashioned oatmeal and put it in a microwave-safe bowl. Then add one cup of milk, water or even a combination of both. Using milk and water together gives the best consistency. You can add a dash of vanilla extract for some flavor, and stir gently. Place the bowl in the microwave for two to three minutes, on high heat, until done. Finish it off with some finely chopped nuts or chia seeds, and you’re all set for a workout!

1. Avocado on Toast with a Chili Twist
You’ve probably noticed avocado get trendy over the past couple of years, but why? This fruit (yes, avocado is a type of berry!) is packed with fiber and healthy fats making it a delicious and healthy breakfast option. Remove the avocado from its shell and put it into a bowl. Now using a potato masher or fork, mash it until it forms a creamy consistency. Toast two slices of bread and spread the avocado generously. Next, poach or fry an egg and place it in the center of the toast. Sprinkle some salt, pepper and chili flakes and voila! — A power-packed treat to start your day.
Pro tip: Avocados are great for a Keto diet; you can switch the white bread for Keto friendly version.
