You don't need to skip breakfast just because you're on a strict budget. Skipping breakfast is not only unhealthy for you, but it can also significantly disrupt your metabolism. Skipping breakfast is not only unhealthy for you, but it can also significantly disrupt your metabolism.

Instead of spending money on a fast food breakfast, why not take a little time to prepare a healthier and more delicious homemade breakfast? Allow yourself an additional 10 minutes in the morning for preparing and consuming breakfast. You will be thankful to your body and wallet.

Bagel Melts

Buy a bag of your favorite bagels either from the grocery store or your local bagel shop. Bagels come in so many flavors that you'll never get bored and you can put anything on them.

Make a bagel melt with simple ingredients instead of the usual cream cheese. Cut the bagel in half and spread mustard on it. On top, place slices of cheese, bacon (regular or Canadian), and tomato. Bake the bagel halves on an ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Delicious Breakfast Cookies!

Add some excitement to breakfast by creating breakfast cookies.  This morning treat will be enjoyed by both kids and adults.

Favorites such as banana oatmeal, carrot oatmeal and peanut butter are enjoyed by many. Raisins, nuts, cereal, brown sugar, and wheat flour can be used to make them.

I would like to order an egg sandwich.

Preparing eggs in the morning is both inexpensive and simple. To make scrambled eggs, you don't need to be a good cook. If you enjoy those fast food egg sandwiches, why not make your own?

Slice a biscuit, English muffin, or roll in half to make a sausage egg sandwich. One egg should be scrambled to taste. Follow the directions to make a sausage patty using either a fresh or frozen patty. Grill the bread slices until lightly toasted, and then spread butter on them. Put the sausage patty on the bread, and add an egg and cheese slice on top. Put the other half of the bread on top.

Cereal

It is advisable to keep one or two boxes of your favorite cereal at home for a quick breakfast. Popularity of cereal is such that manufacturers frequently offer coupons for various brands. Be sure to keep an eye out for when stores put certain brands on sale, so that you can stock up at the right price.

A popular drink is Fruit Smoothie.

Many smoothie recipes mix together fresh fruits such as berries, bananas, peaches, mangoes, or pineapples with yogurt, milk, soy milk, sherbet, or ice cream. An extra energy boost can be gained by adding wheat germ or whey powder.

Baking powder and baking soda are used to make Quick Breads.

Carrots, applesauce, pumpkin, squash and zucchini are some of the tasty ingredients used to make quick breads. They need about 15 minutes of preparation and 40 minutes to bake, so these should be made ahead of time.

You can either spread your quick bread with honey, butter, fruit spread and cream cheese, or simply eat it plain.

I would like to have a Yogurt Parfait.

Create your own at home. Get a bowl and spoon in some of your preferred fresh or frozen yogurt. Cut up a granola bar, or buy bulk granola from the store, and sprinkle it on top. Add fresh berries, thawed frozen berries, or bananas as a topping. Create your own at home.
