 So many people skip breakfast and just boost themselves up with cup after cup of caffeine.  But what if you could eat foods that tasted good and gave you energy.  Here are some suggestions as we move into the colder winter months.

1. Quinoa with dried fruit and nuts.  Quinoa is an ancient grain and was cultivated in South America thousands of years ago.  It is very high in protein and will leave you feeling full.  Add a little honey or agave syrup if you want a sweeter breakfast.

2. Old fashioned oatmeal with almond slivers.  Oatmeal is high in fiber and will also leave you feeling full for a long time.  Almonds provide you with some protein.

3. Tofu "egg" scramble with onions and peppers.  Tofu is a great source of protein and contains no cholesterol.  Use firm tofu and crumble it into small pieces before cooking.

4. Multigrain bread with all natural (no sugar added) almond butter or peanut butter.   This bread is high in fiber and B vitamins.  Both peanut butter and almond butter provide protein and healthy fat, which we all need in our diet.
