Fresh Fruit & Veggie Breakfast Tips

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a reason - it revs up the metabolism, providing you with the energy you need to feel good throughout the day. Read through these tips to learn ways to add good-for-you fresh fruits and veggies to your breakfast plate:

Wake up with Stemilt fruit! Add sliced cherries, blueberries, nectarines or apples to your morning cereal or oatmeal.

Combine fresh Stemilt blueberries, low-fat plain or vanilla yogurt and granola for a high-fiber and antioxidant-rich breakfast.

Stock fresh apples, pears and other fruits in your fridge for those mornings that you’re running late. Don’t skimp on eating breakfast - it helps get your metabolism going.

Start the day off with a 12-ounce glass of 100% fruit juice. This counts as two fruit servings and puts you well on your way to more!

For citrus fans, oranges and grapefruit are a great way to get a dose of fruit in the morning. Eat them fresh or squeeze into a juice!

Don’t forget the veggies in the morning! Combine eggs, bell peppers and other veggies into healthy omelets to quickly feed the whole family.

If you start the day with exercise, be sure to get something in your stomach before you set out. Bananas are great for potassium, while quercetin in apples can help keep your immune system high.

Combine cottage cheese with sliced Stemilt pears or peaches. This is a great way to “hide” fruit in something that kids will eat.

Fruit or veggie smoothies are a great way to get fuel for the day. Make them at home or stop by your local smoothie shop. Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost!

Challenge yourself to combine several important food groups into your breakfast. For instance, eat a whole-wheat English muffin with egg and cheese for carbs, dairy and protein, then finish up with a serving of your favorite Stemilt fruit!
