Quick Healthy Breakfast: Multigrain Cracker with Almond Butter, Banana, and Hemp Seeds
This morning, our family was up early, packing and preparing to head out from Sag Harbor to NYC for a few days. With the rush of getting everyone ready and out the door, we needed a breakfast that was quick, satisfying, and easy to clean up after. Enter our go-to solution: Multigrain Crackers with All-Natural Almond Butter, a Drizzle of Honey, Sliced Banana, and a Sprinkle of Hemp Seeds. Not only did it fuel us for the journey, but it also packed a nutritional punch that kept us energized throughout the morning on our drive into NYC.
Why This Breakfast Works
This simple yet delicious combination is a perfect example of how healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s why it’s a winner:
Multigrain Crackers:
Made with whole grains, these crackers provide fiber to keep you full and support digestion.
They’re a great source of complex carbohydrates, offering sustained energy without the crash.
All-Natural Almond Butter:
Packed with healthy fats and protein, almond butter helps stabilize blood sugar levels and keeps hunger at bay.
It’s also rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports skin health and immunity.
Sliced Banana:
Bananas are a quick source of natural sugars for energy, as well as potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and muscle function.
They add a creamy, sweet contrast to the nutty almond butter.
Hemp Seeds:
These tiny seeds are a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with plant-based protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals like magnesium and zinc.
They add a satisfying crunch and a boost of nutrients to the dish.
Drizzle of Honey:
A touch of honey adds natural sweetness and provides antioxidants that support overall health.
It’s a healthier alternative to refined sugar and pairs perfectly with the other flavors.
How to Make It
Spread a generous layer of all-natural almond butter on a multigrain cracker.
Top with a few slices of banana.
