What is for breakfast? Breakfast is one of the most important if not the most important meal of your day! You need to "Break" your nightly "Fast" with a healthy meal. Increasing your metabolism, with this initial meal, is key to your short and long term success. Not only will a healthy breakfast set your metabolism for the day but it has been shown to help minimize cravings throughout the day. A healthy balanced breakfast includes a lean protein, complex carbohydrate, healthy fat and maybe a small piece of fruit. If you are a creature of habit, which I am sure you are, you most likely tend to eat the same thing every morning. Let me guess... Oatmeal either a protein shake or egg whites and maybe a few berries!? Change things up, for once, and try out my favorite healthy breakfast burrito!
