Eating a Healthy Breakfast

Over the past few years I've slowly gone from completely skipping breakfast, to granola bars and donuts, to gradually eating what I consider a healthy breakfast.

All of these ingredients can be purchased in bulk, and I spend less than 5 minutes a day preparing my breakfast.

  Water (2 cups) - I drink this first thing when I wake up

I microwave a bowl of water (1 cup) until it boils, then add:

  Whole Grain Rolled Oats (1/3 cup)
  Wheat Germ (2 tbsp)
  Whole Ground Flaxseed (2 tbsp)
  Oat Bran (2 tbsp)
  Walnuts (1/4 cup)
  Almonds (1/4 cup)
  Raisins (1/4 cup)
  Blueberries (1/4 cup)

I mix everything together, then let it sit for about 10 minutes while I go take a shower.

With my oatmeal mix I also take:

  Orange Juice (1 cup not from concentrate)
  Vitamin D3 (2000 IU)
  Niacin (500mg)
  Fish Oil (2 x 900mg of Omega-3) - enteric coated

Each of the ingredients provides important nutrients, based on various web articles I've read online; but do your own research.
