10 Quick-Easy-And-Healthy Breakfast to-go ideas!

You have all heard how breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right?  Still some kids don't get a good breakfast in the morning.  It is hard to make time to eat in the morning when you are getting ready to go to work and getting the kids ready for school, along with all the other things you need to get done before you head out the door!  Here is a great post from http://www.superhealthykids.com/ with great ideas for fast, on the go breakfast ideas!

1. Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches.  Erica actually does this quite often. She'll make herself two sandwiches. One for her lunch, and one to eat right away.
2. Frozen muffins.  Prepare and bake muffins on the weekend.  Freeze the entire batch.  Each night set out enough muffins for your family, and they will be defrosted by morning.  Like them warm?  A quick 10 seconds in the microwave and they'll taste like they just came out of the oven.
3. Frozen waffles.  This recipe makes a TON of waffles.  Make them all, and put them in Ziploc freezer bags in the freezer.  Toast these on mornings you want to take a waffle.
4.  Hard boiled egg sandwich.  I ate these every day when I was pregnant.  I always had an egg and bread craving.  I toast two pieces of whole wheat bread. Slice a hard boiled egg and sandwich it between the toast.
5. Overnight oats.  Prepared the night before, this breakfast is supposed to be eaten cold.  Your kids can eat this to-go, but make sure you bring a spoon.
6. Single serving smoothies.  Instead of getting all the ingredients out for your smoothies each morning, prepare a large amount of smoothie once.  Freeze the smoothie in 8 ounce portions, or even a Popsicle mold.  Take out one for each child in the morning. Let it defrost slightly and re-blend, or mix when slushy.
7. Breakfast cookies! Make your favorite granola bar recipe and add loads of dried fruit and nuts, with little sugar.  Shape them into a cookie, rather than in bars.  Your kids might LOVE having cookies for breakfast!
8. Fruit Salad, or fruit kabobs.  These should both be prepared by cutting fruit the night before.  Take a bowl full of fruit salad with Popsicle sticks for stabbing or eating on the go.  Toast or bagels are always delicious with fruit salad.
9. Breakfast burritos.  Spread almond butter and top with honey or bananas on a whole wheat tortilla.  Wrap up and take with you!
10. CEREAL! Isn't this the ultimate fast-breakfast food?  It can be healthy too.  Place 1 cup of whole grain, low sugar, high fiber cereal into sandwich bags.  Add dried fruit and nuts to make it into trail mix.  Take on the road.

The Inspire Millions Challenge!

I read this post today by  Brett Klika CSCS and LOVED it!!  Let's just get up and move.. even a little will go along way!  Know the ingredients in your food.  We can do it!

Inspire Millions Challenge!

Americans are no longer chubby, portly, or overweight.

We are corpulent, obese, and rotund. We don’t move like humans are supposed to move.
We don’t eat like humans are supposed to eat. We are not just merely dying from this plight, we are suffering.
What would happen to a Cheetah if we fed it Cheetos and made it sit idle? It would get sick, it would get depressed It would develop pain, and die.
Why? Because Cheetos are not what Cheetahs are supposed to eat, and sitting idle is not what cheetahs are supposed to do.
As cruel as the above treatment may seem to an animal, many Americans live, embrace, and defend their “right” to this scenario. After all, there is a robust, nearly unchallenged industrial machine to support it. Unchallenged, until now.
This is a call to action.
A much higher calling than sculpting a six-pack, toning thighs, selling gym memberships or slinging miracle supplements.
It’s a call for our society to lift each other up off the couch and move.
It is a call to educate each other to eat food instead of chemicals.
It is a call to INSPIRE MILLIONS to stop suffering and live like humans are designed to live.
You don’t have to be a personal trainer, life coach, or physician to grab a loved one’s hand and say “let’s go for a walk”. How do you know if you are walking fast and far enough? When someone no longer needs to pull you off the couch to go for a walk. You don’t have to be a dietitian, nutritionist, or chef to select food that is actually “food” and not merely a chemically-induced taste. How do you know what “real food” is? The ingredients list should be the food itself. For meat, well, if you know what the animal’s name was prior to being on your plate, it’s probably safe to eat.

We don’t have to be hot, ripped, toned, shredded, sculpted, or beautiful. We need men, women, and children to get off the couch, stop eating poison, and get out of pain. Everyone can contribute. Do something today, right now to change the way you live or INSPIRE someone else to do the same. It may not happen overnight, it may take time. Person by person, household by household, city by city, state by state.
Working together, we can stand up and INSPIRE MILLIONS to be happy, healthy and pain free. After all, that’s how humans are supposed to live.
