While opinions vary regarding which eating practices are healthiest, nutrition advocates tend to agree on one thing: Whenever you break your fast it should be with foods that provide lasting energy for both brain and body. You can do that by pumping up the protein in your first meal and avoiding empty calories or foods high in sugar.

On busy days we may find ourselves taking shortcuts instead of preparing nutritious meals made with good, natural ingredients. One way to make sure you get a good breakfast is to do the prep work ahead of time and create delicious and healthy grab-and-go meals for your most crowded days.

Breakfast is important whenever you choose to have it. Early or late or on the go, fill it with lots of nutritious ingredients and a bit of homemade love … even if it is ahead of time!
