"Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start"--wise words indeed. Maria, in the beloved musical, The Sound of Music, gave this advice on singing. How about that same advice for breakfast? We've heard for years that it is the most important meal of the day--pretty sound reasoning to not skip it.
No time? No excuse. In under five minutes you can have a nice, substantial breakfast for yourself and your family when you're on a time limit.
Try a fresh piece of fruit and nut butter. There are many other choices than the ubiquitous peanut butter--give them a try.
Take almond butter, for instance. A serving of 2 tablespoons will give you a good start of 190 calories of good healthy fat and low sugar. Add in a little fiber and it is, indeed, a very good place to start. You may find that 2 tablespoons is actually more than you'll want in one sitting; that's fine! You can enjoy the rest of it in a snack later in the day.
To this almond butter, add in a banana or apple. They are both powerhouses of fruit and easily accessible. The natural sugars in the fruit will give your body the gentle jump start that it needs along with a good amount of fiber. You have a full breakfast in no time!
The first time you price almond butter, you may gasp just a bit. It looks pretty pricey, but consider how many breakfasts you will have from it--and filling breakfasts, not a breakfast that is unsatisfying or full of bad fats and simple carbohydrates that add to the waistline.
Start tomorrow with this first important step toward better health. You'll see results of better health each time you treat your body well and with the respect it deserves.
**Obviously, if you have allergies to nuts, you won't want this as your breakfast. Stay tuned to tomorrow's blog for an alternative quick and easy breakfast idea.
