A healthy grab-and-go breakfast can kickstart your metabolism and help you concentrate in school. Check out these fun and yummy recipes for success:

Grab-and-Go Breakfast Ideas

• Hardboiled egg and an orange: Peel them the night before.
• Whole-wheat toast with peanut butter and banana: Toast it. Spread it. Slice the banana or eat it whole.
• Egg sandwich in a pita or corn tortilla: Boil or scramble an egg, then plop it into a whole-wheat pita or tortilla. Spice it up with a little salsa.
• Yogurt and fruit in an ice cream cone: Carry your breakfast. Then eat the container.
• Egg muffin cups for the week: Mix up some eggs with your favorite fillings (ham, cheese, spinach, or other veggies). Bake in a greased muffin tin at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes.
• Apple wedges and peanut butter: Eat them plain or roll them up in a whole-wheat tortilla.
• String cheese and a piece of fruit: The only thing you need to do is to grab your breakfast and go.
• Leftover veggie (or fruit!) pizza: Think outside the breakfast box. Pineapple is great on pizza too.
• Half a cheese sandwich: Change it up with lunch foods in the morning. Choose whole-grain bread. Enjoy a fruit or veggie with it.
