Breakfast for Busy Mornings
Fuel your mornings with quick and easy recipes
Whether you’re an early bird or a late sleeper, you might feel rushed when it comes to breakfast. It can be tempting to skip breakfast all together. But nutrition is important, even on busy mornings.
Food choices impact a number of health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Skipping meals can make stress-related symptoms, such as headaches or stomach tension, worse. We have easy and nutritious recipes to fuel even your busiest mornings.
VA’s Healthy Teaching Kitchen YouTube Channel has healthy recipes and helpful tips for cooking at home. Watch the videos below for two easy morning meals. These recipes have nutritional benefits such as fiber, whole grains, and calcium.
