One Healthy Breakfast - 5 Ways
Paired with flavor-enhancing herbs, small amounts of quality fat (like olive oil) and whole grain bread or tortillas, these basic ingredients below are the foundation of a tasty and healthful breakfast. Dial up the health by substituting vegetarian protein for the bacon or punch up the flavor on special occasions with a hollandaise sauce or cheese.
Eggs - Protein-rich boost for eye and heart health, has all 9 essential amino acids, source of natural vitamin D and choline (good for your nervous system).
Tomatoes - Rich in the cancer-preventing antioxidant lycopene, 40% daily value of vitamin C
Spinach - A nutritional powerhouse. Loaded with calcium, folic acid, vitamin K and iron. Also rich in vitamin C, fiber and carotenoids.
Bacon - Contains good quantities of protein and potassium, plus darn good flavor. Choose nitrate-free and turkey versions to boost the health benefits.
