1. Grab-and-go breakfast item: Planters Daybreak Blend, Berry Almond Trail Mix. Dashing off to work without time for a real breakfast? Instead of getting sucked in by that jumbo coffee-shop muffin, grab this satisfying blend of almonds, raisins, cranberries, and granola clusters. (It’s also good stirred into vanilla yogurt.) Watching your hips? Each portable pouch has 180 calories and 3 grams each of fiber and protein. ($3.49)
2. Frozen breakfast item: Morningstar Farms Veggie Sausage Patties. Most of us steer clear of traditional breakfast sausage, but no one wants to eat vegetarian versions—until now. These low-fat 80-calorie patties actually taste like the old-fashioned meat kind. Plus, they only take a minute-and-a-half to zap in the microwave and give you 10 grams of protein per patty. ($3.99)
3. Hot cereal: Quaker Simple Harvest Multigrain Hot Cereal, Maple Brown Sugar with Pecans. Oats are great for your heart, but a lot of instant oatmeal is packed with sugar and sodium. That’s why we love this new natural option from Quaker Oats. Not only is it a whole-grain bonanza (it has oats, whole wheat, and barley), but it also packs half as much sugar and sodium as most instants. And it only has 160 calories. ($3.89)
4. Cold cereal: Barbara’s Bakery Cinnamon Crunch Shredded Oats. A quick bowl of cold cereal for breakfast just got healthier: These tasty cinnamony squares scored a thumbs-up from judge Nancy Rodriguez for delivering more than 80 percent of your daily whole grains. Plus, it boasts 4 grams of filling fiber per serving. ($4.99)

I love the Morningstar veggie sausage pattie. I microwave it for a few seconds and put it on a toasted light English Muffin. Sometimes I add eggbeaters to the muffin as well. It is quick and good.
the smart start ad links to a rebate coupon that is out of date.
Hot cereals are things I oftenly eat in the morning.
It’s good to know its good for your hearts.
