We all know the importance of breakfast and that it’s an essential part of our diet. But I’m sure I’m not alone – raise your hand if you often find yourself skipping the most important meal of the day. See, I knew I wasn’t alone! There just never seems to be enough time for breakfast. In fact, most Americans only have 12 minutes each day for eating breakfast. So what do you do?
Well there are some really awesome on the go or even just quick and wholesome breakfast options. For instance, belVita Bites Breakfast Biscuits are perfectly portable and you can eat the right at your desk, or in the car on the way to drop the kids off at school. They’re just 230 calories, so it’s not taking up a lot of your daily calorie intake. But each serving also contains 4g of fiber and 20g of whole grain for your other dietary needs. If you want a complete breakfast, add a serving of fruit or Greek yogurt for a more balanced breakfast.
belVita wants to really change the way Americans eat breakfast, so they’re taking over National Cereal Day tomorrow on March 7 to encourage you to trade in your spoon for a balanced breakfast with belVita Bites and a serving of fruit or yogurt.
In fact, belVita just hosted “The Changing American Breakfast” breakfast panel. I’ve been provided with tips from Registered Dietitian Keri Gans, Life Coach Christine Hassler, and author of Eat It to Beat It David Zinczenko to share with you on ways that you can have a smoother morning routine, while still enjoying a healthy breakfast.
Said Keri Gans, Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, ?A serving of belVita (which has @20g of whole grains/serving and 4g fiber per pack), with a low-fat Greek yogurt and a serving of fruit, can be the perfect grab and go complete breakfast.?
Said David Zinczenko, New York Times best-selling author of Eat It to Beat It! and the Nutrition and Wellness Editor at ABC News, ?Being that people today have no time to cook, they are looking for options with nutrition’s latest buzzwords ? protein and fiber. belVita paired with a serving of non-fat yogurt and fruit hits on protein, fiber AND whole grains.?
Said Christine Hassler, life coach and author, ?Doing something 40 days in a row moves it from a change to a habit. Making a complete breakfast a habit starts today.?
So next time you’re thinking about skipping breakfast, just remember not only how convenient breakfast can be, but also that it gets our blood sugar up, metabolism going and reduces cravings later in the day.
Would you try the belVita Bites Mixed Berry or Chocolate flavor first?
