Eat Your Breakfast!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day...we have all heard this, but how many actually follow it? When you are in a rush in the morning or running late it can be super easy to skip this meal. Eating a healthy nutritious breakfast not only kick starts your day but can also help you feel fuller through out the rest of the day. It is so important to make time to eat a well balances breakfast and not just grab a coffee and doughnut.  I am not a huge breakfast person myself in that I do not eat the traditional bacon and eggs. However, my usual breakfast that I eat almost every morning gives me the kick start I need for the day.

My favourite breakfast includes cereal, non-fat yogurt, some fresh fruit, and flax seed. This breakfast includes 3 of my food groups and has some added good fats. I like to eat my carbs early in the day as it gives me the rest of the day to burn them off. This breakfast can have so many different combos with different cereals, flavor of yogurt, and a variety of fruit. When choosing a cereal go for a healthier option with at least 4% of your fibre intake for the day (fibre will make you feel fuller for longer) and stay away from the sugary cereals. You could also switch out the fat free yogurt for some low fat or fat free Greek yogurt to get that added protein as well.

Breakfast doesn't have to be hard. This meal only takes a moment to put all together in a bowl for a nutritious breaky.
