If you are looking for an ultra fast, high-fiber breakfast that will keep you full until lunch, consider Greek yogurt mixed with fruit and high-fiber cereal. Plain 0% Greek yogurt has half the sugar and double the protein compared to regular yogurt. It is only 100 calories for a 6 ounce container. Another great choice is Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt.
Choose 3 food groups: dairy, grains and fruit so you can work towards your MyPlate servings in each day. Studies show that people who lose weight consistently eat a healthy breakfast each day.
