5 fast ideas for a healthy breakfast

You've probably heard this a million times, but I'll tell you again, because it's absolutely true: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It's the meal we're most-likely to skip as we scramble to get ready for school or work, but it's also essential for getting the energy you need to stay productive. Plus, if you curb your hunger in the morning, you'll most likely consume less total calories throughout the day. Bonus!

Here's some quick ways to get what you need without succumbing to the temptations of the fast food drive-through window.

1. Fresh eggs. These take about 3 minutes in the microwave or on the stove. You'll spend less time doing this than you will waiting in line and McDonald's.

2. Whole grain cereal. Especially now that it's getting colder, why not try a little oatmeal?

3. Yogurt. You can make this more filling by adding fresh fruit and nuts.

4. Vegetarian bacon. As long as you accept that it will taste nothing like real bacon, it's actually pretty good.

5. Bran cereal. If you're a cereal person, this is a much healthier way to go than all those sugary (and less filling) options.

Try it. You'll feel better all morning. I promise.
