ever been tempted to skip breakfast on test day? maybe you think your stomach can\u2019t handle food that early, or perhaps you think it\u2019ll make you too tired to function. in reality, eating a healthy, filling breakfast on the morning of your test can help boost your performance and keep your brain functioning optimally throughout the exam. research demonstrates that breakfast helps improve memory searches, problem-solving abilities, and attention spans. given all the benefits of the day\u2019s first meal, don\u2019t fall into the trap of skipping it! try one of these winning breakfast ideas on test day:<\/p>\n

breakfast burritos<\/h3>\n

\"best_test_day_breakfast_1\"burritos make a great grab-and-go option. stuff whole wheat tortillas with scrambled eggs, beans, rice, cheese, and salsa for a balanced meal that packs protein, carbs, and fiber. you can even prepare your burritos in bulk in advance and store them in the freezer. on test day, just pop a burrito or two in the microwave before you head out!<\/p>\n

steel-cut oatmeal<\/h3>\n

\"best_test_day_breakfast_2\"steel-cut oatmeal undergoes less processing, so it offers more complex carbohydrates than the microwaveable packets you might be used to. serve your oatmeal with slices of bananas, fresh berries, and nut butters for additional protein.<\/p>\n

rice bowls<\/h3>\n

\"best_test_day_breakfast_3\"you might be familiar with rice bowls for dinner, but they make great breakfasts too! top a bowl of rice with healthy toppings like saut\u00e9ed spinach, tomatoes, scrambled eggs, melted cheese, avocados, and a shot of hot sauce. you can even use brown rice if you\u2019re looking for an additional fiber boost.<\/p>\n

breakfast sandwiches<\/h3>\n

\"best_test_day_breakfast_4\"layer some scrambled eggs and lean protein, like turkey sausage, on to toasted english muffins. try adding a slice or two of cheddar to increase the protein. serve with a banana or apple to help balance out the meal.<\/p>\n

bagels<\/h3>\n

\"best_test_day_breakfast_5\"if you\u2019re really low on time, you can always spread some mini bagels with cream cheese or peanut butter and pack them in plastic bags to go. remember, you don\u2019t need to become a gourmet chef on test day. bagels are a great time-saver, and still offer the energy you\u2019ll need to stay focused for your test.<\/p>\n
