Lets face it, there’s a whole aisle of the grocery store devoted to breakfast cereal, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a healthy option for breakfast. I ate cereal for breakfast for many years, but after awhile I realized it just didn’t keep me full until lunch. That’s because most breakfast cereals are full of refined carbs and sugar with minimal protein and healthy fats.
That’s why I bring you list of 30 Breakfast Ideas Besides Cereal! These ideas will keep you fuller for longer, as they include a combination of high fiber carbohydrates + protein + healthy fats.
Now let’s get to it!
- Overnight oats – Check out my Blueberry Overnight Oats here!
- Egg bake (egg + vegetables + meat baked in a square pan)
