The editors at Self magazine have done it again. They’ve compiled a list of 10 store bought breakfasts that won’t sabotage your diet. According to a recent poll on their website, 78% of folks tend to have the same breakfast every morning. Going down that road can lead to boredom and sometimes poor food choices. Here’s who made the list:
Best Plain Greek-Style Yogurt: Fage Total 0% (120 calories, 0 grams fat per 8 oz): It’s fat-free, but so luxuriously thick and creamy, you’d never know it. Plus, it’s a great source of calcium and protein.
Best Cottage Cheese: Friendship Lowfat 1% Milkfat (90 calories, 1 g fat per 1/2 cup): This dairy do is rich in protein and contains just enough salt to add flavor.
Best Granola: Special K Low Fat Granola (190 calories, 3 g fat per 3/4 cup): This crunchy mix is tinged with honey and packed with fiber, too!
Best Frozen Waffle: Kellogg’s Eggo Nutri-Grain Whole Wheat (170 calories, 6 g fat per 2 waffles): These light and fluffy breakfast treats almost taste homemade.
Best Cereal: Quaker Oatmeal Squares (210 calories, 2.5 g fat per cup): Pour on the moo juice—these brown sugar–coated nuggets stay crunchy in milk, but they’re tasty enough to eat on their own, too.
Best Bagel: Thomas’ Hearty Grains 100% Whole Wheat (240 calories, 2 g fat per oz): Take bagels off your verboten-foods list! This version has fiber and protein and tastes just baked.
Best Light Cream Cheese: Philadelphia 1/3 Less Fat Neufchâtel (70 calories, 6g fat per oz): Less fat doesn’t have to mean less flavor, as this creamy, indulgent-tasting spread proves. Say (cream) cheese!
Best Unsweetened Instant Oatmeal: McCann’s Instant Irish Oatmeal, Regular (100 calories, 2 g fat per packet): Save yourself unnecessary sugar by adding spices or a spoonful of maple syrup to a steaming bowl of these oats. Bonus: They’re high in vitamins and fiber.
Best Turkey Bacon: Applegate Farms Organic Turkey Bacon (35 calories, 1.5 g fat per slice): Countdown to deliciousness! These strips cook up crisp, even when you nuke them in the microwave.
Best Orange Juice: Florida’s Natural Calcium and Vitamin D (110 calories, 0 g fat per cup): Thanks to its fresh-squeezed flavor, you’ll want to make this beverage your new main squeeze. Plus, a serving contains all the vitamin C you need for the day!
