Light Breakfast

Light Breakfast Option 1

1/2 cut cantalope
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 cup milk or juice

A more healthy alternative to option 2 for those who are really pressed for time, but must eat to keep focused during the day.

Light Breakfast Option 2

1 grapefruit cut in half
2 slices of toast with butter and jam
1 cup coffee, tea or milk

This is truly for people on the go. It may not offer much in the way of a balanced diet, but it will keep you running until lunch or a mid-morning snack.

Light Breakfast Option 3

Cold Cereal

• 1 bowl of cereal (non-children's cereal)
• 1 banana, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup dates
• Milk to suit taste

1 cup orange juice

This puts a bit of a spin on just a plain bowl of cereal and as it includes fruit, it adds to those needing more fiber and minerals in their diets as well as a blast of vitamin C.

Light Breakfast Option 4

Fruit Salad

• 1 cup grapes
• 1 peeled and slice banana
• 1 diced apple
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 cup tea or coffee

This easy fruit salad can be made the night before for easy serving in the morning. It is a good way to get your fruit servings out of the way and perfect for fussy children.

Light Breakfast Option 5

Yoghurt Parfait

• 1 apple sliced
• 1/4 cup dates
• 1/4 cup Grape Nuts cereal
• 1 cup plain yoghurt

1 cup milk

In a sundae glass or other parfait glass, layer the different ingredients on top of each other. Can be made overnight and refrigerated for the next day.

This option is great for those wanting to boost their calcium intake.

Light Breakfast Option 6

1 orange peeled
1 bowl hominy grits with 1 pat butter
1 cup tea or coffee

Not exactly the most nutritious balanced meal, but it is quick to fix and light enough so you won't feel too groggy in the mid-afternoon.

Light Breakfast Option 7

Fruited Oatmeal

• 1 cup cooked oatmeal
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup chopped almonds
• 1/4 cup coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup dates
• 2 tsps brown sugar
• 1 tsp butter

1 cup orange juice

Add all ingredients into the cooked oatmeal. It is very nutritious, high in fiber and vitamins, and good for those wanting to improve their cholesterol levels.
