HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK
Think outside the cereal box
If you skip breakfast because you're tired of the same old thing, let lunch or dinner be your inspiration. Instead of dry cereal or toast, top a microwaved potato with broccoli and grated Parmesan cheese. Or try a whole-wheat sandwich with lean meat and low-fat cheese. Leftover vegetable pizza, vegetable chili or a whole-wheat pita stuffed with water-packed tuna and cucumbers are also good options. With a little creativity, breakfast can be healthy, convenient and fun, especially if you think outside the box.
