Searching for the Perfect Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It kick starts your body and gives your brain the fuel it needs to get going. I have been one of those people who stands tired at the refrigerator door or pantry staring off trying to think of something quick and easy to make. So, I decided to share with you all some of my favorite morning foods to get me moving!

Slice up apples and put a small amount of raw almond butter on each slice. The apple is a great source of fiber and the almond butter will provide some good fats and even some protein.

Highwood Crossing Flaxseed granola with plain yogurt and frozen berries: yummy and it provides carbohydrates to fuel your brain.

Scrambled eggs with bell peppers and green onions. Eggs are a great source of protein , and bell peppers a good source of vitamin C.

Rolled oats or steel cut oats with cinnamon and sliced apples or berries: full of fiber and antioxidants, and the cinnamon helps with blood sugar control.

Cold cereals with unsweetened almond milk: sometimes I crave something that reminds me of my childhood!

Ezekial sprouted grain bread (you can find this at health food stores or at Superstore) with an unsweetened jam (only fruit, no sugar please!) or a natural peanut butter (the only ingredient should be peanuts!), or poach an egg and serve it on top!

These are just a few of the many options out there! Try one of these next week, or share some of these ideas with someone you know who doesn't eat breakfast. And remind them just how important this meal is. What are your favorite foods to eat for breakfast?
