quinoa. Add wholesome carbs — whole grains, fruit, and vegetables — rather than breakfast pastries. Set aside a few minutes to focus on your meal and enjoy it.
If mornings are rushed, have whole grain toast with a nut butter, or prep the night before by making hard-boiled eggs or a batch of oatmeal that you can reheat in the morning or have cold with nuts and yogurt. Or buy single-serving cups of yogurt to grab with a whole fruit, like a banana or apple, on your way out the door.
