"I love having yogurt bowls for breakfast! It’s a great source of protein, fiber, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats to start your day." 
— Joseph Papador, DO | Family Medicine, Dignity Health Medical Group – Ventura

"Growing up in an Egyptian household, my go-to classic and healthy breakfast dish is Foul Mudammas, which is fava beans dressed with olive oil, cumin, and plenty of fresh veggies! " 
— Demiana Sidrak, DO | Pediatrics, Dignity Health Medical Group – Northridge

"I focus on a high protein breakfast to fuel my day with protein powder in my cold brew and eggs. I add a variety of air-fried and seasoned vegetables for fiber and nutrients."
— Ryan Macht, MD | Obesity Medicine and Bariatric Surgery, Dignity Health Medical Group – Sequoia

"Overnight oats are the perfect morning breakfast that’s easily prepared the night before and customizable depending on your preference. I like to add banana and chia seeds to mine."
— David Adler, PA-C | Family Medicine, Dignity Health Medical Group – Sequoia

"Buckwheat is high in nutrients, fiber and protein. It’s similar to oatmeal but with more health benefits and allows for some variety in the morning. We add slivered almonds and dried apricot pieces. My kids love it!"
— Megan Mescher-Cox, DO | Internal Medicine, Dignity Health Medical Group – Ventura

"My favorite breakfast is plain Greek yogurt with some fresh blueberries and granola for a crunch. It keeps me full for hours and is very high in protein."
