It's Better Breakfast Month!

Life on the go often means grabbing a quick, convenient "meal" while rushing off to work, school or appointments. Unfortunately, that granola bar you thought was healthy might be loaded with sugar. You know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but sometimes there's just no slowing down to properly prepare it.

September is Better Breakfast Month, so there's no better time to retrain yourself to savor the delights of a healthy breakfast. Eating a balanced breakfast can help control weight and rev up your metabolism after overnight fasting. It helps stabilize blood sugar levels and can also promote healthier eating as the day goes on.

Try these delicious, easy-to-prepare breakfast options to keep yourself energized while meeting the day's challenges.
