Cool Breakfast Ideas for the Summer Months

To many of us, summer is an exciting season--as well as a dreading one! The warm sunny weather allows for plenty of trips to the beach or lake, outdoor barbecues that last for hours, as well as family vacations. However, the down side is that many of these activities involve a swimsuit and/or sweltering heat. Don't get bummed out--this article contains a few great breakfast recipes that will not only start your summer day with a cool boost, but they are also weight-smart!

Smoothies

Smoothies are a terrific treat, and a healthy one, too! With this recipe, you can the whole family can enjoy these naturally energizing treats without the sugar-induced guilt. In this recipe, we will use strawberries and bananas, but you can use virtually any fruit you like!

Ingredients:
1 cup Plain/Vanilla Yogurt
1 cup Chopped Strawberries
1 cup Chopped Bananas
Handful of Ice
Sugar to taste (if desired)

Drop the ice and fruit into the blender first, followed by the yogurt. Blend until fully pureed. If adding sugar, add to the puree mix and blend a few more seconds.

Fruit and Yogurt Cups

These cups are not only healthy, but they are simple to whip up in small or large batches!

Ingredients:
Chopped Fruit
Natural Vanilla Yogurt

The measurements of the fruit and yogurt depend on how many people you are serving. Fill the 1/3 of the glass (preferably a clear glass) with yogurt. Fill another 1/3 of the glass with chopped fruit, and then top off with the remaining yogurt. Sprinkle a few bits of fruit on top for garnish. Chill and serve.

Fruit and Nut Muesli

Muesli is a great filler that won't leave your waistline expanded. This recipe should be prepared the night before, but is totally worth the wait!

Ingredients:
2 cups Rolled Oats
1 cup Yogurt
1 cup Milk
1 tablespoon Honey
¼ cup Chopped Pecans or Walnuts
2 Peaches (peeled and grated)

In a bowl, mix the oats, milk, and honey together. Leave in the refrigerator overnight. When you're ready to eat, top with yogurt, fruit, and nuts.

These recipes are not only easy to prepare, they are fairly cheap and are naturally chock full of the energy your body will need to get through a warm day full of summer activities! Also, remember that your body is at a higher chance for dehydration when the weather his warm, so always keep a bottle of water handy and drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Happy summer!

Is it alright to eat three small bowls of Muesli + two protein shakes a day?

I go muesli shake muesli shake muesli then after workout (4 times week) I have either grilled chicken or fish. Is there a problem with consuming so much muesli? I am under the impression oats, nuts etc are good for you.

Muesli is OK for you...what I don't see are any fruits and vegetables. If you are not eating those, you are not getting essential vitamins, minerals, etc. Also, be careful with protein shakes...sometimes they aren't as healthy as people think they are...real healthy food is better.
