A Healthy Lifestyle Might Start With A Balanced Breakfast After All

Adding veggies to your scrambled eggs and putting fruit in your cereal and oatmeal are just a couple of the ways that breakfast ensures you’re getting your required intake of fruits and vegetables. And, in case you didn’t know, that daily recommended amount is five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit. With so many different options, you’ll have an endless array of choices. Veggies and fruits are heart-healthy, help with maintaining a healthy weight, and they also help fight diseases.

Some fruits that go well in breakfast meals include blueberries, strawberries, and apples. You don’t have to stick with fresh, as dried fruits are great as well. Avocado is a culinary vegetable (meaning it’s actually a fruit) that is a common breakfast staple these days, whether you enjoy it on avocado toast, in a breakfast burrito, or cooked up in your eggs. Other vegetables that taste great in egg scrambles include tomatoes (another culinary vegetable), zucchini, asparagus, and broccoli. If you’re a fan of potatoes for breakfast, opt for sweet potatoes instead of their starchy cousin.
