Breakfast, the most important meal of the day.

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day.

To convert this important meal into a healthy, disease fighting energy booster, you should combine fiber and protein together. This combination is also a satiety and appetite control promoter that aids to weight loss and healthier body weight.

Aim to get at least 8 grams of fiber and 15 grams of protein in your morning meal. Here are a few ways to do that:
• Two scrambled eggs with mushrooms, spinach, broccoli and peppers and 1 tablespoon of cottage wrapped in a whole-wheat tortilla, plus a medium apple, for 8 grams of fiber and 19 grams of protein.
• A smoothie made with ¼ cup oats, 1½ cups of frozen red fruits, ½ cup of nonfat Greek yogurt, ¼ cup of orange juice, and 1 teaspoon of orange zest, for 8 grams of fiber and 17 grams of protein.
