We’ve all heard the saying that breakfast is “the most important meal of the day,” but how do we know what we should eat after fasting all night? We’ve compiled a list of the 10 best foods to eat for breakfast that provide you with enough energy and nutrition to start your day.

In no particular order, here are our 10 best foods to eat for breakfast:

1. Oatmeal. Oats are one of the best foods to eat for breakfast because they are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, and fiber. For those specifically seeking a fiber boost in the morning, steel-cut oats are the best variety. When buying packaged oatmeal, it’s always better to go natural and avoid those with added flavorings or sugar. You can always top oatmeal with fruit, nuts, or honey to sweeten it up!

2. Grapefruit. Made up of at least 90% water, grapefruits are perfect for hydrating your body in the morning. They are also full of electrolytes and antioxidants that boost your immune system. Studies also show that grapefruits are good for your heart because they are high in potassium, choline, and vitamin c.

3. Bananas. Particularly good for people with high blood pressure, we had to include bananas on our list. There are many good reasons to eat bananas: they are known for their high potassium levels, which can help with hypertension, and are always a sweet addition to cereal or oatmeal.

4. Eggs. A classic breakfast food in many parts of the world, eggs have Vitamin D, protein, and other important nutrients. Although yolk is high in cholesterol, try an egg white omelet to keep your breakfast healthy and delicious!

5. Almond butter and peanut butter. Another excellent source of protein, both almond butter and peanut butter are delicious options for breakfast. They contain unsaturated fats, which are the “healthy” fats, and give you energy to start the day. Almond butter is also a good alternative for those who are allergic to peanuts.

6. Cereal. Easy to find and easy to prepare, there is a reason that cereal is everyone’s go-to breakfast food. To single out the healthy options on the market, look for whole grain cereals. It’s obviously better to avoid sugary cereals because they lower, if not eliminate, the possibility of having a nutritious breakfast. To go that extra mile, have some low fat or skim milk instead of whole fat milk to complete your winning breakfast.

7. Watermelon. Like grapefruit, watermelon is made up of more than 90% water, and therefore is a great source of hydration. It has an extremely low amount of calories, and having a fresh slice of watermelon in the morning is a refreshing way to wake up!

8. Blueberries / strawberries / berries in general. Containing fewer calories than many other fruits, fresh berries are always a healthy choice. They are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that keep your body feeling good.

9. Greek yogurt. Definitely a great way to stay full and healthy, Greek yogurt is rich in protein and calcium. The healthiest type is plain, non-fat Greek yogurt, but adding fruit and honey is an easy, tasty way to add flavor.

10. Wheat germ. An easy food to incorporate into your diet, wheat germ can be used like granola as a yogurt or cereal topping. It is known for its noteworthy amounts of B Vitamins. Located in the center of wheat kernels, wheat germ contains tons of nutrients that can boost your immune system and protect your body.
