New year, Healthy New Start

Happy New Year Everyone!  We have made a few new years resoultions, the first being to post more on Tablespoon. The second, to make a bigger effort to eat pure, organic and nurtitious foods. That being said, the first step to getting off to a healthy new year begins with the first meal of the day: breakfast. While this meal should be priority #1, so many of us have trouble fitting this uber important meal into our compact schedules. We have come up with a super quick, easy and super delicious way to get loads of nutrients before you step into the office.

We decided to combine a mixture of fresh fruit, pre-made waffles (to save on time), peanut butter, raw honey and ground flax seed to give you the nutritious punch you need to start your day. We love the brand Nature's Path because unlike so many of its competitors, it is a third generation family owned and operated company. Nature's Path products are organic, fair-trade certified, and devoid of GMOs. If you are looking for tasty and nutrient dense pre-packaged cereals, waffles, and health bars, we highly suggest trying this brand.

Our breakfast waffles pack a nutritious punch with potassium, Omega 3s, Managanese, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Folate, Thiamin, Niacin, Magnesium, and tons of fiber, antioxidants and healthy protein. 

Using honey instead  of maple syrup will give these waffles a hint of sweet without drowning them in sugar. Add some peanut butter for a little extra sticking power and sprinkle some flax on top for your daily dose of heart healthy Omega 3s. The blueberries pack memory boosting antioxidants and the banana provides those vital energy-packed minerals and vitamins. Bonus! Use local, raw honey to help fight allergies. 

Happy tasting,
Paul/a
