Buttermilk Scones

Okay besides buttermilk scone’s lacking in nutritional value, just the name of this breakfast treat contains unhealthy ingredients — butter + whole milk + scones (bread/cake). This delectable, buttery, flaky snack is comprised of refined carbs, yeast, and (one too) many tablespoons of butter.

Use these butter alternatives instead: almond butter/applesauce/bananas/oil.

Toaster Pastries

An undeniable quick, simple, on the go, unhealthy breakfast option. Sorry, but it’s the truth. Toaster pastries are high in sugar, high in refined carbs, and low in protein, which may increase hunger and food consumption. Also, the Pop Tart’s infamous health claim aid “baked with real fruit” is less accurate than you think, as the fruit filling contains little (to any) real fruit.
