But some options are definitely more nutrient-rich than others. So what would a dietitian\u2019s No. 1 pick be? And how can we get more good stuff into our bodies first thing in the morning without sacrificing deliciousness?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the question that we \u2014\u00a0Raj Punjabi and Noah Michelson, the hosts of\u00a0HuffPost\u2019s<\/a> Am I Doing It Wrong?<\/a> podcast<\/a> \u2015 had for Lisa Moskovitz<\/a>, a registered dietitian, certified dietitian-nutritionist and the CEO of NY Nutrition Group<\/a>, when she dropped by our studio to offer her tips and tricks for doing breakfast better.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a superfood because of all of the nutritional properties that it has, from fiber and magnesium to B vitamins and iron, and there\u2019s a little protein in there,\u201d the author of The Core 3 Healthy Eating Plan<\/a> told us.<\/p>\n

They also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep our brains<\/a> and hearts<\/a> healthy and have been shown to reduce inflammation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great for regulating digestion,\u201d Moskovitz added, \u201cso for people that struggle …\u00a0with constipation and regularities, chia seeds are a great source of insoluble and soluble fiber.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, just one serving of chia seeds \u2014 typically two to three tablespoons \u2014 offers nearly 10 grams of fiber, which is one-third of the recommended daily intake<\/a>\u00a0for most people. Fiber not only helps with digestion by bulking and softening stools; it\u2019s been found to\u00a0lower the risk for many dangerous health conditions<\/a>, including heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.<\/p>\n

Chia seeds are also incredibly versatile and can be easily added to countless breakfast favorites to boost their nutritional benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can sprinkle them in your yogurt, you can put them in your oatmeal, you can even sprinkle them on your avocado toast, in your eggs, in your coffee, and you can just take them in water,\u201d Moskovitz suggested. \u201cYou can soak them in your almond milk or dairy milk or any or oat milk and leave them in the fridge overnight, and that\u2019s a great grab-and-go.\u201d<\/p>\n

By making tiny tweaks \u2014\u00a0including adding chia seeds or other nutrient-packed foods like nuts and fruit \u2014 to our tried and true breakfast go-tos, we can score more of what our bodies need without missing out on our morning favorites.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop worrying about what to cut out and just think about what we can add in,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n

Moskovitz also chatted with us about the ideal time to eat breakfast, what to know before you eat another egg, the four things to add to every smoothie, and much more.<\/p>\n
