Whole-grain breads and bran muffins, or cold low-fat whole grain cereals mixed with fresh fruit such as bananas or strawberries are always good choices.
Gulp down a glass of fresh fruit or vegetables juice, or have a 100 percent juice beverage without added sugar. Alternatively make smoothie. Blend fruits, ice cubes and yogurt, and drink it in the car.Fresh fruits and vegetables.
Power up with protein. Tuna, salmon, lean slices of meat or chicken and a veggie omelette are all rich in protein.

A tall glass of skim milk with your cereals, a cup of low-fat fruit yogurt, and low-fat cheese such as cottage and natural cheese, are ideal options to incorporate into your mornings.
