Breakfast’s Benefits
- It provides us with the energy and nutrients we need to perform better throughout the day.
- It boosts our brain-power, which helps us concentrate better at work, or be more productive at home.
- It can help us meet our nutrient requirements, for nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and iron.
- It prevents us from feeling weak or dizzy, getting headaches, or developing hunger pangs during the day.
- It promotes a healthy weight—if you skip breakfast, you’re more likely to overeat throughout the day by snacking, consuming large meals, and with nighttime munching.
Breakfast prep can be as easy as 1-2-3!

- If you’re eating on the go, pack up your breakfast and just grab it on your way out the door.
- If you’re feeding other family members have the cereal boxes, bowls, and spoons laid out on the table ready for you to use in the morning.
