A Piece of fruit, or two
A piece of fruit can be a very healthy breakfast, especially if you don't usually eat at this time of the day. Try to choose a piece of fruit or two that you like, and one that you won't eat again later that day. This is to ensure your body gets as much nutrition as it can from a wide range of fruits.
