In the first part of this article, we discussed why breakfast can be viewed as the most important meal of the day, for a variety of reasons. Now we will look at some power breakfast ideas.

Power Breakfast Food Ideas

Here are some ideas for breakfast foods that will nourish you and give you energy:

* Smoothies – fruit smoothies are full of antioxidants and fill you with energy. Try strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. Smoothie ingredients can be placed in a cup ready to be blended with yogurt and ice in the morning.

* Granola cereal – You can top a cup of yogurt with it, add it to oatmeal, and make granola bars with it, or you can eat it alone. Whole grains give you sustained energy throughout the day and the fiber fills you up for hours.

* Eat whole fruit – When all else fails, eat an apple or a banana. Breakfast doesn’t have to be a big meal, but you do need to eat something that will be good for your body. Fruits like apples and bananas are full of fiber so they fill you up better than drinking fruit juice. Dried fruit can also be used as a quick snack later in the day.

* Oatmeal – This makes a better breakfast idea on the weekends. But if you have enough time, you can make oatmeal in the morning. It is a hot hearty meal that will get all your systems moving.

Are you looking to put a little energy back in your day? Start with a proper breakfast.
