What's for Breakfast?
Mom always said breakfast is the most important meal of the day.She was right! But what you choose for breakfast can make or break your day (sorry, bacon didn't make the list). According to Healthyeats.com here are the top 8 foods that help make your morning meal a healthy one:

- Berries-High in anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce heart disease and diabetes.
- Oatmeal-Skip the sugar and add some dried fruit for sweetness.
- Peanut Butter- Quick burst of protein. Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter on whole grain bread, add to a smoothie, mix in oatmeal or spread on apple slices.
- Eggs- Contain vitamins A and D the antioxidant lutein for healthy skin and eyes.
- Flaxseeds- Sprinkle on yogurt, oatmeal or blend in your morning smoothie. Adds extra omega-3 fat, fiber and protein.
- Cottage Cheese- Low fat cottage cheese with fresh fruit is a great on-the-go breakfast packed with protein that will leave you satisfied.
- Whole-Grain Cereal- A bowl of whole grain cereal and low-fat or skim milk is quick and easy. Be sure to choose cereals that are low in sugar.
