Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! This is something that everyone, researchers, scientists, nutritionists and experts agree on. Hence the reason why it is essential to watch what you eat in your weight loss regimen.
If you load up on sugars, starch, and processed items, all you do is give yourself a burst of energy that fades away as quickly as it came, leaving behind a lethargic and exhausted, mal-nourished you.
Studies clearly show that people who have a good breakfast, full of right nutrition not only stay fit but are also more active, lively and are able to perform their best in their daily routine, be it work or education.
The thing about breakfast is that if you eat the right foods, you will be able to shed the pounds instead of gaining them. Not sure how this works? Here is all the information you need about 7 healthy breakfast options that will help you burn that fat without much effort.
1.   Steel Cut Oats
Rolled oats or steel cut oats are the ones that you need to add to your breakfast. Be sure to prep them the night before because they take some time to cook.
2.   Yogurt with Fruit
Yogurt is awesome. It contains bacteria that help your immune system become strong. You can have a huge bowl of yogurt topped with your favorite berries or fruit of choice and some chia seeds as well in the morning. Adding honey and nuts will give it texture and additional fiber content.
3.   Eggs and Toast
Eggs are full of proteins, which aid the body in getting rid of fats. A review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states that proteins help the body in attaining satiety as well as promote energy usage. This means that if you have eggs in the morning, your body will have the strength and energy to sustain throughout the day without tiring out.
4.   Nut Butters
Studies show that peanut butter, as well as almond butter, help cut down on calories. This may be unbelievable for you, but it is true. However, the thing to consider is that the butter you choose should be fresh and organic, not processed.
Both almond and peanut butter taste amazing and are the perfect breakfast choice for both kids and adults. Spread some on whole wheat toast, and you are good to go with a glass of skimmed milk or coffee.
5.   Porridge
Porridge is one of the healthiest things that you can eat in the morning. The cereal is packed with an impressive portfolio of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Porridge interestingly is a no-fuss breakfast. You can even cook batches for the upcoming week and refrigerate.
In the morning just heat up the required amount, add some milk, a handful of chopped nuts or berries to give a hearty depth to your breakfast bowl. You won’t even feel the need for lunch the day you have had porridge, it is that good.
Now be clear that porridge is made of a variety of grains like barley, wheat, etc. So you can take whichever you like best. What’s even better is that the cereal can be cooked sweet or savory depending on your liking.
6.   Fruit Smoothies
Fruits are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Since they also contain fiber, they help in keeping you fuller for longer. Combine them with coconut water/milk, low-fat milk or yogurt, and you have an energy drink that is a complete meal in itself.
The best thing about fruit smoothies is that they are very easy to make. All you have to do is take a fruit of your choice, add some liquid like coconut water and few drops of honey to it, toss in some chia seeds or flax seeds for the extra punch, and blitz away. What you obtain is a delicious glass of health. Drink it up in one go and if you have some leftover, save it for a midday snack!

This delicious novelty in your breakfast will be loved by your kids and family members. In fact, they’ll all ask for some more quinoa.
