Healthy Breakfasts

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet many Americans opt for sugary cereals or skip it entirely. If you're ready to remake your daily breakfast, try one of these quick, easy, healthy breakfasts that will have you feeling energized and ready to start the day! They're easy to prepare right in your kitchen at New London Homes.

Oatmeal
This classic staple is packed with complex carbohydrates that break down slowly, giving you ample energy throughout your day. Top it with nuts for protein, mix in a little milk for calcium, and stir in some local honey for sweetness and top with cinnamon. This deliciously complete breakfast will leave you feeling satisfied all the way until lunch time.

Yogurt
Yogurt is a great breakfast foundation, not only is it high in protein and calcium, but the probiotic bacteria that live in yogurt can aid stomach function and digestion. Top it with mixed-grain muesli and berries and you’ll be full, happy, and ready to go.

Tofu
Scrambled tofu may seem a little too out there for some, but in consistency it’s very close to scrambled eggs, with more protein and less fat. Mix in spinach and cheese for a tasty morning scramble!

Egg Whites
If you're not ready to go the tofu-route, opt for egg whites or low-calorie egg substitutes. Top with salsa for a Southwestern flair.
