1. Single-serving bowls of whole-grain cereal are packed
with vitamins and minerals.

2. Pair string cheese with whole wheat crackers.

3. Hard-boil several eggs to have on hand for busy mornings.

4. Small cartons of low-fat yogurt are a good combination of
carbohydrates and protein.

5. Whole-grain English muffins can serve as a base for a
breakfast sandwich. Spread on peanut butter, a source of
satisfying protein and heart-healthy fats.

6. Make breakfast wraps with whole wheat tortillas; roll in
lean protein, such as turkey and low-fat cheese, scrambled
eggs with diced peppers and onions, or peanut butter and
bananas.

7. Keep low-fat cheese slices on hand for breakfast sandwiches.

8. Single-serving cartons of low-fat, low-sodium cottage cheese
are a good source of protein; stir in berries or fruit for fiber.

9. Top whole wheat toaster waffles with a tablespoon of
peanut butter and/or fruit preserves.

10. Try soy or lean turkey sausage patties (you can eat
them alone or put them in a breakfast wrap or sandwich).

11. Stir a tablespoon or two of fruit preserves or chopped
dried fruit into plain instant oatmeal to add a touch of sweetness.

12. For protein, add a tablespoon or two of nuts to your yogurt
or oatmeal. Stir frozen berries into oatmeal or yogurt to boost
the vitamin content.
