Better Breakfast Month

School is now in full swing. It can be challenging to make time for breakfast in the morning before everyone leaves for their day.  The month of September is “Better Breakfast Month”, a great reminder to stay focused on healthy breakfast eating habits.

We all know and have heard over and over, that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  However, there are many reasons why this statement is true.  We each should be getting about 8 hours of sleep each night.  Those 8 hours are body receives no food or water.  So when we wake up, our body is dehydrated and lacks energy to start your day.  Breakfast helps remedy this issue.

According to BetterBreakfast.com, breakfast can also help you lose weight.  Without breakfast to get your metabolism going, your body stays at a lower metabolism level.  This means your body is burning fewer calories if you don’t have breakfast.  Then if you do skip breakfast, you tend to eat more later in the day. Usually they are unhealthy and high calories choices.  If your body had breakfast, you can wait to eat lunch with fuel to spare.

Here are some ideas to help you start your day off right:

Quick Breakfast Burrito – You prepare these burritos in the microwave for a quick grab and go breakfast.  CHI-CHI’s thick and chunky mild salsa is a great addition.  You can also add some Hormel®  Cure 81 diced ham. Or prepare some Hormel®  Natural Choice bacon a head of time and keep in the fridge to add to your burrito.  A great thing about Hormel® ‘s Natural Choice products is they contain no preservatives, no added nitrates or nitrites, and not artificial colors or flavors.

Baked Ham and Cheese Croissants – These would be great to prepare with Hormel®  Natural Choice Brown Sugar Deli Ham, Cooked Deli Ham, Honey Deli Ham or Smoked Deli Ham.  Prepare the sandwiches ahead of time and keep in the fridge.  Then you can bake them in the morning while getting ready for your day.  They take 15 minutes in the oven.
