Breakfast Is For Champions

We have all heard it over and over again: the most important meal of the day is a balanced breakfast. We aren't arguing. In fact, we completely agree. It is crucial to feed your body with energy-packed nutrition that will help jump start your day, but sometimes that is easier said than done. Time is a big factor in the morning and we would bet that most people feel that they don't have enough of it before heading off to school or work. It's tough, but give yourself an extra 15-20 minutes in the morning to make something delicious and healthy to start your day. Your body and mind will thank you. 

We routinely rely on oatmeal for our first meal of the day. It's easy, tasty and the variation possibilities are endless. We use Trader Joe's Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats for their speedy cook-time (8 minutes) and their nutty, distinctively chewy texture. Not to mention, these bad boys pack 40 grams of whole grain, 4 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein per serving. This morning, we simply added a chopped apple and sprinkled a tablespoon of brown sugar to get Friday started. 

Happy Tasting,
