North Dakota is home to many excellent breakfast foods, including grains and milk. Eggs sometimes have been treated as scoundrels, but their high-quality protein makes them good breakfast companions a couple of times a week too. Children often are the focus of breakfast campaigns, but adults are just as likely to skip breakfast. Children perform better in school when their brains have fuel, and the same probably holds true of adults at home or on the job. Try for a wide variety of foods every day to keep breakfast from becoming humdrum.
Some people prefer sandwiches, cooked vegetables or leftovers.
Some breakfast skippers are slow starters in the morning who repeatedly hit the snooze button before crawling out of bed. If you fall into this category, try setting out cereal boxes, bowls and spoons, and mixing the juice the night before. Or try a commuter breakfast by filling your travel mug with milk or juice, and grabbing a high-fiber muffin and a banana to eat on the way. Or make these breakfast bars and freeze them in single servings for future quick breakfasts. This recipe combines grains and fruit.
