Easy breakfast recipes: 15 ways to start the day healthy

It is a common tendency of busy women to let eating breakfast become a low priority. If you are getting kids up and ready for school there is a long list of things that must be done in a limited amount of time. Remember, meeting all those needs makes it that much more important for you to get some nourishment at the start of the day. A good breakfast fuels you for the challenges of the day by setting your blood sugar at a steady level and sending energy to your organs, muscles, and brain. Wouldn't it be nice to remember where you put your keys - a good breakfast can help.

Boxed cereal is quick but most are too high in sugar and carbohydrates to sustain your energy leaving you tired and hungry long before lunch-time. The cereal crash is a common trap that sends many weight loss minded eaters back to square one, since they wind up overeating on whatever is within reach when their blood sugar plummets.
