Fast Food That's Healthy, Too

While many people don’t have time for breakfast, it’s still considered the most important meal of the day. So instead of grabbing a sugary pastry or donut on the run, try some of these nutritious, quick breakfast ideas that can help you get your day off on the right foot. With a little bit of planning, a quick breakfast doesn’t have to mean the drive-through.

Guiding Stars breakfast on-the-go ideas

• Make a breakfast sandwich by spreading whole-grain toast with natural, no-salt-added peanut butter and a sliced banana. Pair with a carton of low-fat or fat-free starred yogurt.
• Spread one half of a whole-wheat English muffin with fat-free ricotta cheese and all-fruit jam. Top with the other half.
• Bring melon cubes in a sealable plastic bag or container to work.
• Have access to a microwave? Pack a frozen starred breakfast burrito to heat up at work. And bring along a fruit of your choice and a low-fat “milk box.”
