How to Build a Balanced Breakfast

Breakfast refuels your body after the night and helps keep your energy and mood steady through the morning. A balanced plate does not need to be complicated.

The simple formula

  • Protein such as eggs, yogurt or nut butter.
  • Fiber-rich carbs such as oats or whole-grain toast.
  • Fruit or vegetables for vitamins and color.
  • A little healthy fat such as avocado, seeds or nuts.
Pairing protein with fiber helps you stay satisfied until lunch.

Quick ideas

Try oats topped with berries and seeds, a veggie omelet with toast, or yogurt with fruit and a handful of nuts.

Short on time?

Prepare overnight oats or boil eggs in advance so a healthy breakfast is ready when you are.
