Bears =
Balance! And a
balanced breakfast
is key to a
healthier you!
Here are some great
Bear Breakfast
ideas:
Cereal
Choose a high fiber,
protein-containing
cereal. There is no
room for Fruit Loops
in the Bear Diet!
You’ll have to start
reading the labels!
Most high
fiber cereals
have 4-8 grams of
fiber per serving.
Most higher protein
cereals contain 3-8
grams of protein.
Try some of the
Kashi brand cereals,
or one our favorites
Uncle Sams. These
choices are loaded
with fiber to fill
you up and low in
sugar to keep your
glucose levels
stable.
Egg Sandwich
Poach or
fry an
egg atop a slice
or two of whole
grain toast, add a
little butter to the
toast, dash a little
salt and pepper on
the egg, and you
have a delicious
breakfast sandwich.
Add some lettuce,
tomato, and onion
and you can get in
some vegetables. One
of our personal
favorites is adding
sliced avocado and
fresh tomatoes! And
we love adding fresh
chopped cilantro or
basil to just about
anything! Ooh, the
flavor! Use your
imagination! If you
keep these food on
hand, it won’t take
you long to whip up
one of these
delectable delights
in the AM! It’s
worth it! YOU are
worth it!
Whole Wheat English
Muffins
Try putting some nut
butter on top of a
toasted English
Muffin, add a piece
of fruit on the
side, or cut up some
banana or apple
slices on top of the
peanut butter. If
you’re looking for
something new, try
cashew or almond
butter instead of
peanut butter - a
great way to get a
little different
flavor.
So, Bears,
remember the three
B’s - Balance,
Breakfast, and
Breaking the fast!
Mix and match,
choose
nutrient-dense
foods, and make sure
you start your day
out right with a
perfect Bear
breakfast. If you
are still a little
confused or do not
know where to start,
then give us a call!

plan that works for
