Easy additions to make breakfast better

 
Here are a few simple bursts that’ll boost your breakfast to the next level on the nutrition scale. They’re super-hearty—perfect for chilly fall mornings—and don’t take longer to make than your normal bowl of flakes. 
 
Your Bfast: Oatmeal, either instant or slow-cookin’
 
Your Boost: Blueberries. They’re loaded with antioxidants and add a sweet kick, which means you won’t have to add brown sugar. Frozen work just as well as fresh.
 
Your Bfast: Frozen waffles (whole wheat, of course!)
 
Your Boost: Chopped apples and walnuts. Throwing fruit and nuts on top of your Eggos adds major fiber (to keep you from getting hungry) and fat that’s good for your heart. Tastes amazing with a touch of maple syrup.
 
Your Bfast: Toasted whole wheat English muffins
 
Your Boost: Bananas and almond butter make this easy to-go option amazing. Almonds are super good for you and bananas are packed with potassium and B vitamins. Bonus!
 
Your Bfast: Scrambled eggs
 
Your Boost: Tomatoes and spinach! Give your huevos some vital vitamins by adding some veggies. Don’t limit greens to lunch and din only. Throw them in omelets or on top of an egg sandwich. Go spicy and dip an egg in salsa instead of ketchup.
 
Your Bfast: Sweet cereal, like Reese’s Puffs
 
Your Boost: More cereal. If you love way sugary cereals, try to go half and half with another super-satisfying, grainy cereal, like Fiber One. Splash on skim milk and you’re set.
