We know it's best not to miss breakfast. It's the meal that gives us energy for the day, increases metabolism, and helps our bodies burn fat faster and better. Since breakfast comes at the time of day when most of us are rushing and hustling to get going for the day, it becomes pretty easy to skip this power meal. In the spirit of putting breakfast back into your schedule, here are some simple Canyon Ranch ideas for getting the boost you need during the start of your busy days.- Cottage cheese and fruit. Grab some low-fat cottage cheese and top with fresh fruit. Add your favorite nuts and seeds and some ground flax seed for a nutty flavor and a burst of omega-3. Add flax to any of the following ideas too.
- Scrambled egg or tofu with spinach and scallion in a whole wheat wrap.
- Whole grain bread with one tablespoon nut butter.
- Plain yogurt with fruit, cinnamon, or berries.
- Hot oat bran cereal or oatmeal (not instant) with cinnamon, dried figs or other fruit, and nuts.
- Smoked salmon with tomato and onion on whole grain bread.
Thanks Canyon Ranch for the breakfast basics.
