Healthy and Easy Breakfast Ideas

Whats For  Breakfast?

It is so easy to skip breakfast.  You wander out of bed often in a hurry and maybe not in the mood to fix something.  You may  head for the pantry and pull out some of your super fortified cereal with a little milk and sugar.  The box promises all the vitamins and minerals you could possibly want or need.  And to boot you have a choice of probably hundreds of types with fruit, nuts and even organic.  I do not want to go on a tirade of the health benefits of any cereal except the granola that I make. I will share the recipe after I say all I need to say.

It is beneficial ti start the day with protein so even a cup of cottage cheese is good.  If you have time cook up some eggs in healthy oil such as coconut, sesame or olive. the would be a good way to start your day.

If you choose to eat some fruit for healthy eating—have the fruit an hour before eating the rest of the meal.  Your digestive system with thank you for eating fruit all by itself.itself. Yogurt is fine as long as  it is organic and has no sugar or fruit.  I would recommend full fat yogurt as the non fat is loaded with some unwanted additives.

Start your morning routine with a glass of water and you can add some lemon, as it gets your metabolism in gear.

Skipping breakfast does NOT help weight loss as  the body needs some food so it can go into fuel  burning mode. 

Our breakfast consists of whole grain organic bread with my empowered almond butter and tad bit of honey. I add flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and cacao powder to the almond butter for extra nutrition.

When feeling ambitious I make a batch of granola.  Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

1 cup of raw oats

1 cup of flaxseed

1 cup of chopped walluts

1/3 cup of coconut oil

1/2 cup of finely chopped dry apricots

1/2 cup of finely chopped dry prunes

1/2 cup of honey

2 tablespoons of cannamon

1 tablespoon of ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon of salt

Directions:

1. Blend all the ingredients ( you may need to use your hands0
2. Spread on a large sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet
3. preheat oven to 300
4. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes
5. Allow to cook
6. Add to a glass jar with a tight lid.

This granola is really good and has so many healthful ingredients assuring you of lots of vitamins and minerals. 

These breakfast ideas are simple to create a healthy way to start your day.
