DON’T SKIP BREAKFAST! … Here are 8 Reco’s from Professionals

 
Two more healthy breakfast ingredients that are my favorites:

Almond butter

 
Don’t eat eggs or dairy? Almond butter is an excellent alternate source of protein, and it’s filled with monounsaturated fat (one of the good fats). Plus, as Giovinazzo points out, “it’s really delicious spread on whole grain bread or paired with a banana or an apple.”
 
Nutritionally, almond butter is comparable to peanut butter, and they each have about 100 calories per tablespoon. Almond butter contains slightly less saturated fat, though—a definite point in its favor, even for people who aren’t allergic to peanuts.

Kiwi

It’s also rich in potassium and copper and contains more fiber per ounce than a banana, which makes it a good aid to digestion. (In one study, eating two kiwis a day for one month lessened constipation in people with irritable bowel syndrome.)
 
Kiwis are slightly tart. They’re delicious by themselves, but if you prefer a sweeter flavor, try mixing them with strawberries and bananas in a smoothie or fruit salad.
