breakfast, anyone?

I'm trying to compile a good go-to list for healthier breakfast options. I find that I always eat better when I plan out my meals. So I asked some friends to describe their favorite healthy breakfasts. Don't these all sound amazing?

Leslie: "Omelette stuffed with veggies, bacon and cheese; to drink, fresh juice or peppermint tea. Here's the omelet I had this morning: shaved asparagus, grated parmesan, sliced bacon and red onion. It was delicious! You need to try it. I would suggest going easy on the onion though, cause it's really heavy and will weight down the egg when you try to flip it."

Danny: "Scrambled eggs with ham and spinach and toast with strawberry jam. Or oatmeal and fruit."

Lindsay: "What I have for breakfast at work a lot: greek yogurt w/ berries, toast with almond butter and slices of banana on top." Great for those on the go!

Leah: "Tillamook Vanilla Bean yogurt, sliced strawberries and almond granola. Mmmmm."

Allie: "Smoothies with vanilla soy milk, ice, frozen berries, other fresh fruit, and a very small touch of frozen yogurt or cottage cheese. Obviously certain fruit combos are better than others- strawberries and bananas, blueberries and raspberries, etc. Also if breakfast comes right before exercise: real oatmeal (not packaged instant) with brown sugar and a little bit of maple syrup."

What's your favorite healthy breakfast?! I'd love to add to the list!
