Jennet Bessinger: I'm Jennet, and we are making healthy breakfast and right now I'm going to show you what you can grab if you are actually, literally running out the door, there is no reason not to have something especially with a little preparation. So the easiest thing to do and this works for teenagers on their way to school too, is to grab a piece of fruit, now if you are looking for something with a little bit lower sugar, you want to try something like an apple or pear or a piece of melon, and any form of berries, if you like to add a little more oomph to it, with some protein and some fiber, the easiest thing to do is to grab some nuts, you can grab a handful of almonds, if you would like, or if you have walnuts, you can keep them shelled and ready to go. I like them raw not toasted, they are a little bit easier to digest, and if you have just a moment, if just a moment you can take a ripened Cantaloupe, open it up, scoop the seeds out, it's very easy to poke Cantaloupe out of it's peels and make an instant smoothie, it is good and here I'll show you how quickly settles down. So it grinds right up, very smoothly into a quick drink, and you can just put that in a cup to go. If you would like to have a sweeter fruit, just grab a banana and add a little bit more fiber and protein, it's a good idea to keep some ground flaxseeds or even some wheat germ on hand, you can break it in half and just roll it in the wheat germ and children love to do this, and if your kids have some time you can even slice it in half and put a little almond butter in middle, and then you are ready to go. So, those are few ideas for grab it and go, simple breakfast in the morning, and next we are going to be talking about breakfast toasties.
