If you are like me, you don’t have time to whip up a great meal in the AM. I rotate between Weight Watcher’s cereal and… nothing (which is the worst thing to do). Instead of starting off your day on the wrong foot, here are some great ideas for your morning fix.
• Banana Peanut Butter Combo - Mix one banana with one tablespoon peanut butter and spread on 2 slices of reduced calorie whole-wheat bread
• An Apple (to Start) a Day - Polish off one crisp apple, one ounce mozzarella cheese and 4 whole-wheat crackers for a wake-me-up.
• Laughing Pair - Laugh it up with one small pear, one ounce reduced-fat Laughing Cow cheese, and one cup mixed dry Chex cereal. Mix your own: rice, wheat, corn, bran Chex with pretzels and shredded wheat.
• English Apple - One small apple goes great with either a whole-wheat English muffin or a bagel plus either one ounce reduced-fat Laughing Cow cheese or one individually-wrapped mozzarella cheese log
• Grape Sandwich - Put one ounce lean ham and one ounce low fat cheese, such as Weight Watcher’s slice or Laughing Cow reduced-fat wedge, between 2 slices reduced calorie whole-wheat bread and enjoy with a cupful of juicy grapes.
• Omelet Orange - If you prefer egg, OK. Blend one egg or egg substitute with 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese and saute until set, using nonstick spray in your frying pan. With one slice whole-wheat toast and an orange, you’re still at 260 calories and 7 grams of fat.
