For a while now, I’ve been struggling to manage a consistent **meal plan** that’s both healthy and satiating at the same time. Plus, with my hectic **work** schedule, I don’t have the time to realistically prepare a gourmet meal _every morning_ without having to get up hours earlier.\n\nWith this in mind, I've drafted a few of what I think are the most realistic meal plans for **breakfast** that are optimal for your health. Additionally, I’ll be adding in the __worst__ foods that you’ll want to avoid in the morning at all costs. Plus, with **daylight savings** hitting our clocks, this list can help you land on a morning meal that provides a nice boost after losing an hour of sleep.\n\n* * *\n\n## Keep reading to discover the best (and worst) foods to eat in the morning so you can kick off your day feeling energized as ever.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Worst: Sugary Cereals\n\n_I know, I know._ It’s hard to say goodbye to the **easiest breakfast** in the world to prepare, but the fact of the matter is, sugary cereals are terrible for our health. They're highly processed and therefore will lead to weight gain, mood swings, and excessive **inflammation**. _No thanks!_\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Best: Eggs\n\nIt’s insanely important to fill up on **protein** at the start of the day so you can have proper energy and strength. **Eggs** will leave you full, tastes delicious, and can be cooked in a variety of ways so you’ll never get bored.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Worst: Fruit Juice\n\nFruit juice is often filled with refined sugar, which is an absolute no-no for your daily diet. Too much of it will make you feel sluggish. You might as well have **Halloween candy** for breakfast!\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Best: Natural Fruit Smoothies (Not Packaged)\n\nWhile you want to avoid those pre-packaged fruit smoothies at all costs since they tend to have a lot of added sugar, it’s a great idea to make an _organic_ fruit smoothie filled with natural ingredients. Grab your favorite **non-dairy milk** along with frozen bananas, and you’ve got yourself a deliciously refreshing breakfast drink.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Worst: More Creamer Than Coffee\n\nWe all know those people who are “coffee addicts,” but what they’re __really__ addicted to is the sugary creamer inside their drink (guilty). While I love adding **creamer** to my **coffee** , it’s important to look for options that don’t include an excess of refined sugar. That’s why I’m personally obsessed with Nutpods creamer, which sells a variety of sugar-free options. It’s just as tasty as the regular kind without all those unnecessary added ingredients.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Best: Full-Fat Greek Yogurt With Honey\n\n _OMG._ Have you guys tried adding some honey and cinnamon to full-fat **Greek yogurt**? It tastes like ice cream, but somehow better. And, killing two birds with one stone, it’s actually really nutritious as well. _Score!_\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Worst: Breakfast Bars\n\nForget everything you’ve been taught about breakfast bars being somehow nutritious. Spoiler alert:__they’re not__. While there are obviously exceptions, most breakfast bars are insanely processed and brimming with refined sugars.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Best: Apples & Peanut Butter\n\nOn the run? Totally understandable! Not all of us have the time or energy in the morning to prepare a full meal, which is where a simple apple and peanut butter combo swoops in to save the day. It’s delicious _and_ will keep you full for hours.\n\n**Subscribe toour newsletter for more healthy eating tips!**\n\n_This post has been updated._",
