Breakfast Tip #3: Memory Booster Sandwich

by ruth on January 31st, 2008

This is the third of a series of blog posts on healthy breakfast ideas from Elizabeth Ward, who already shared with us easy solutions to squeeze in breakfast. Elizabeth Ward, M.S., RD is a multi-published nutrition consultant. Her latest book is The Pocket Idiot’s Guide to the New Food Pyramids (Alpha Books, 2006).

Breakfast Idea #3: Fast-food breakfast sandwich. Scramble an egg in 1 teaspoon of margarine. Layer cooked egg with a slice of cheddar or Provolone cheese in a whole grain English muffin. Enjoy with 8 ounces 100% orange juice.

Health Benefits:

• In addition to high-quality protein necessary for building cells and tissues, eggs contain choline, a compound that has been linked to better memory. Eggs are also a source of 12 vitamins and minerals.
• Cheese supplies protein plus calcium, necessary to produce and repair bone tissue.
• Eight ounces of 100% orange juice satisfies nearly 25 percent of the USDA recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables.
