Many of us are faced with a burning dilemma when we get out of bed in the morning: what to have for breakfast? (Ha. You thought it was going to be ‘what to wear’, didn’t you?)

Nope, for most Canadians, it’s all about the food. Some of us are pressed for time, so something like toast or a whole-grain bagel isn’t in the cards for us. Others may feel a bit of guilt: they may want that big muffin from a fast food place, but their waistlines don’t want it.

What’s a girl on the go supposed to do? Relax, that’s what. It’s always possible to balance taste and nutrition. Even if you don’t opt for one of Nutribar’s delicious powders, meal replacement bars or snack bars, there’s still a ton of options for you. Blend some fruit the night before, and whip up a delicious smoothie you can throw into a travel mug in your rush to get out the door.  

You can also trade those high-calorie sweet cereals for something wholegrain. If you’re one of those early bird folks, swap your usual bacon for turkey bacon. (Ideally you would scrap it altogether, but some people just can’t give up their bacon.)

 Now, who’s looking forward to breakfast again?
