Sometimes you gotta be a little healthy, bro

I think the easiest breakfast option in the world is a bowl of cereal. But just because it is an easy option, doesn't mean it has to be unhealthy. I like starting my day off with a cereal that is high in fiber; it helps keep me full and helps me reach the recommended 30 gram mark for daily intake of fiber. When shopping for cereal, go for ones made with whole grains that contain at least three grams of fiber per serving. Here are some great options:

  • Kashi Go Lean (10 g)
  • Kashi Go Lean Crunch (8 g)
  • Nature's Path Optimum Power (10 g)
  • Barbara's Shredded Oats (4 g)
  • Barbara's Puffins (6.7 g)
  • Barbara's Ultima (16 g)
  • Fiber One (28.8 g)
  • Bear Naked Peanut Butter Granola (3 g)
  • Bear Naked Apple Cinnamon Granola (3 g)
  • Bear Naked Fit Triple Berry Crunch Granola (3 g)
  • Kashi Mountain Medley Granola (3 g)
  • Kashi Orchard Spice Granola (3 g)

Fit Tip: Increase the fiber content of your cereal by adding nuts and fresh, frozen, or dried fruit.
