Fill your plate with a combination of these breakfast entrees and sides ranked by how healthy a serving is.
Perfect
- Fresh fruit is a safe option for any breakfast plate. Fresh fruit is packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals.
- Pack a ton of vegetables into your breakfast with a protein and fiber rich egg omellete .
- Water is literally the healthiest thing you can put into your body, have a lot of it, and have it often. You'll feel so much better for it.
- A hearty salad with lots of colorful vegetable is a light way to start your morning, dress lightly with lemon and a little olive oil.
- Milk is both good for you, with a ton of vitamins and minerals and filling as well. 2% or skim is best.
Good
- Hard boiled eggs are both filling and nutritious. Eating only the egg white is even better!
- Fresh squeezed fruit juice is not as good as raw fruit, but is still nutritious.
Decent
- Scrambled eggs can be healthy and better tasting by using a minimal amount of oil or butter.
- Bagels are great especially if they are whole wheat and without excess cream cheese.
- Sweet plantains can add some variety to your plate without breaking the bank.
Bad
- Bacon is so salty greasy and delicious, and it is for those reasons that we must eat it in moderation!
- Pop Tarts are just sugar, with a very very small amount of fruit sugar paste spread inside.
- Juice with added sugar or corn syrup should be avoided.
- Hashed Browns are crispy and yummy, but just like the bacon can be greasy and should not be consumed daily.
