Quick Healthy Breakfast

Sometimes I need just a good idea for a quick healthy meal - not necessarily a whole recipe. So I'll occasionally post on here some of the healthy meals that I make. Hopefully some of them will sound good to you, too!

Thomas' English Muffin with
2 Tbsp peanut butter (I like crunchy!)
topped with thin slices of a Gala apple (with the rest of the apple on the side).
Accompanied by coffee and
a cup of skim milk.

I prefer the 100% Whole Wheat English Muffins, but we just had the plain ones today.

  • Whole breakfast 396 calories
  • Low fat - and most of the fat that it does have is the good-for-you kinds - polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. 
  • No trans fats
  • Low (almost no) cholesterol
  • Low-ish sodium
  • High in Potassium (which offsets the bad effects of sodium)
  • 3 grams of dietary fiber
  • 19 grams of protein
  • one of your five servings of fruits & vegetables for the day
  • 40% of your calcium for the day
What's your favorite healthy breakfast?
