I have created 5 Simple Ways of Building a Better Breakfast Routine. Believe me, it works, and it will save you time, money and energy, plus, your breakfast will be delicious!

Here are the 5 Simple Ways of Building a Better Breakfast Routine:

Eat Breakfast

Not eating breakfast usually increases overeating later in the day because you are hungrier. Studies have shown that to beat obesity and eat better that you should follow the old adage: Eat like a King for Breakfast, a Prince for Lunch, and a Pauper for Dinner. So eat a bigger breakfast to give you more energy to have a more productive day. Bagels for breakfast are timesaving, easy, tasty and nutritious. Set up a breakfast bar on the weekend, your kids will think it’s like a special party for them! Lender’s® Bagels and Smart Balance® Buttery Spread with different toppings are a quick and easy on the go breakfast solution. You can find both Lender’s® Bagels and Smart Balance® Buttery Spread in the dairy section at your local Walmart.

2. Change Your Breakfast Up

Change it up a little so you won’t get bored and stop eating breakfast. Try a breakfast bagel with different ingredients, like Smart Balance® Buttery Spread and cheese one day. Try Lender’s® Bagel with turkey, avocado and fresh fruit on the side another day.

3. Include Protein in Your Breakfast

After fasting all night and burning calories, it is important to feed your muscles protein to prevent any breakdown. Protein is filling and may help fend off mid-morning hunger pangs, even if you have a small something while on the go. Grab a Lender’s® Bagels and Smart Balance® Buttery Spread with salami or turkey and fruit to go. With so many different choices to choose from, Lender’s has something for everyone in the family.

4. Eat a Balanced Breakfast with Protein, Good carbs, and Fiber

Protein and fiber fill you up, and fats keep you satiated, both fats and protein break down slower in the body, keeping you full for longer. Carbohydrates give you the energy to get through your day as they are stored as glycogen, our first line of energy. They are found in bananas or whole grains. Try a sliced banana, and peanut butter on a Blueberry Lender’s® Bagel, it’s a delicious breakfast! Lender’s® Bagels are crunchy-on-the-outside and chewy-on-the-inside. Smart Balance® Buttery Spread supports healthy cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.*

5. Include Vegetables In Your Breakfast

If you have at least five minutes to cook yourself breakfast, add some vegetables as a side or part of the main dish. All too often we think of orange juice with eggs and bacon, pancakes with syrup, or oatmeal with fruit as a complete breakfast, but in reality, it’s important to increase our veggie intake whenever possible, including at breakfast. Veggies add more nutrients including fiber and will lower the excessive carb or fat content. Try a Lender’s® Bagel with Smart Balance® Buttery Spread with sliced avocado and sliced cucumber. Everything’s better on a bagel!
