We've all heard that it's really important to eat breakfast if you want to have plenty of energy and a speedy metabolism. The problem is that most people want a fast and easy option and don't know what to choose that won't sabotage their health. Try some of our easy breakfast suggestions that are actually lickity-split healthy meals!

Cinnamon and Raisin Toasted Surprise
Top a slice of whole-wheat raisin toast with non- or low-fat cottage cheese and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Egg Roll-Up
Roll up a whole-wheat tortilla filled with scrambled egg beaters and salsa. Toss in your favorite precut veggies (try onions, peppers, spinach or mushrooms).

Fruity Refresher
Stir a 1/2 cup each of plain, low-fat yogurt and orange-pineapple-banana juice with 1/3 cup of sliced banana and half a dozen fresh or frozen blueberries. Freeze overnight in a container or in a paper cup. It will be ready to go by morning. As you let it defrost, you'll have a refreshing slushy. Or, if you use a paper cup, you can eat it like a frozen push-pop.

Mediterranean Delite
Spread 3 tablespoons of hummus on half a toasted whole-wheat pita.

Stuffed Melon
Scoop a 1/2 cup of non- or low-fat cottage cheese into a cantaloupe or honeydew half.

Easy Smoothie
Blend a 1/2 cup each of plain low-fat yogurt and orange juice with half a frozen banana and a few frozen strawberries.

Good Ol' Faithful
Add fresh fruit or cereal (like Raisin Bran or low-fat granola) to plain low- or non-fat yogurt.

New York Style Breakfast
Toast half a whole-wheat bagel and spread non-fat ricotta on it with an ounce of lox.

Apple With Peanut Butter Toast
Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter on a slice of whole-wheat bread and spread another tablespoon on an apple.

Waffle Time
Warm a whole-wheat waffle. Top with low- or non-fat yogurt and sliced fresh fruit.

Just Like Home
Microwave a cup of oatmeal and toss 2 tablespoons of slivered almonds on top.

Banana Wrap-Up
Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter on a slice of whole-wheat bread. Sprinkle with a teaspoon of sunflower seeds if desired. Wrap around a banana.
