Healthy Breakfast Cereals

I know mornings are rushed and sometimes it is hard enough to grab breakfast (let alone grab something healthy), but I’ve said it before and I will say it again, no breakfast equals diet suicide! These are a few of my favorite ‘healthy’ cereals that I have found so far (though I am always on the lookout for more). A box of Special K Protein Plus is pretty much a staple in my cupboard; it is a high protein, low sugar choice that only has 9 net (or ‘impact’) carbs per serving (but for those of you who are avoiding gluten stay clear, as it is almost pure gluten). If you are more of a granola lover, try Galaxy Granola, it is delicious, natural and, unlike most other granola, it is not full of sugar. Or, you could cut out all the excess and just go with plain old oatmeal. There is a never ending list of healthy toppings you can sprinkle on top to keep your taste buds from getting bored (a current favorite misture of mine is pumpkin pie spice, stevia, and walnuts).  I am a fan of Ezekiel in any form, and this 4:9 cereal is no exception. Don’t be afraid of its high calorie content per serving, this 100% flourless, sprouted whole grain option is absorbed as complete protein in your body. So even on those rushed mornings where you spend a few extra minutes fixing your hair, (or just give up and throw on a hat) remember that you can still have time for breakfast.
