Have you ever woken up excited to eat breakfast? If not, you probably haven’t found a quick, go-to breakfast yet. No worries, your Hy-Vee dietitian is here to help! Both slow-cooker and one-minute warm breakfasts are great because you wake up with breakfast ready for you to enjoy in a matter of minutes. For a slow-cooker breakfast, just put together the recipe the night before, set your slow-cooker on low, fall into a deep sleep and wake up to a delicious and nutritious meal. As for a one-minute warm breakfast, try Quaker Warm & Crunchy Granola or Quaker Protein Instant Oatmeal or reheat the Spiced Breakfast Quinoa recipe you prepare the day before. These quick breakfasts are packed with complex carbohydrates to start your day off right.
Not only are these breakfasts convenient, they also guarantee that the entire family will have a healthy start before a busy day at work and school. Breakfast has many other benefits, too. Research shows that breakfast may help to have a more nutritionally complete diet, increase concentration and performance in the classroom or at work, increase strength and endurance for physical activity and lower cholesterol levels. If those benefits don’t excite you, then maybe this recipe will. Contact your Hy-Vee dietitian for more recipes to get you looking forward to your morning.
