Breakfast eaters have better focus and clarity of mind and tend to be healthier in general than those who skip it.

According to the National Weight Control Registry, 78 percent of people who lose weight and keep it off eat breakfast every day.

Why not make it your goal to eat a well rounded breakfast for the next two weeks and see if it makes a difference in how you feel?

Today’s breakfast was a piece of leftover quiche and a smoothie. A couple of nights ago I made a broccoli quiche and an asparagus quiche. They were both yummy. This morning’s piece gave me a good dose of protein to start the day. The smoothie was made with blueberries, strawberries, bananas, peaches, & pineapple. I mixed it in my Nutribullet with some filtered water. That gave me plenty of vitamin C, potassium, & fiber, just to name a few nutrients.

Smoothies are an excellent choice when you’re looking for a quick & healthy breakfast. Combine bananas, oats, apples, & flax seeds with your choice of low fat milk and you have a breakfast that will stick with you until lunchtime. Or add spinach or kale to some frozen fruit and filtered water and you get a vitamin powerhouse.
Eggs are a go-to staple for people looking to add protein to their breakfast. Whether you hard boil them, combine them with avocado toast, or add fresh fruit, this is a great way to start the day.
Add fruit and/or yogurt to oatmeal for a heart-healthy treat. Make it creamier by cooking your oatmeal with milk instead of water.
Choose a whole grain cereal to add fiber. Team it up with a low fat milk and you’ve added calcium and fruit will give you even more vitamins.
Ahhhh, coffee. Not only is it warm and inviting, but, if you drink the caffeinated version you may see an improvement in your mood, mental performance, and metabolism.
