Last winter I spent a few days with a friend on vacation.
She ate this almost every morning for breakfast.
I like her. She’s in great shape. I want to be just like her.
So this is what I eat for breakfast many mornings.
1 – Banana
1 – Activa Light Fatfree Yogurt
About 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal
And I sprinkle cinnamon on top – I like the taste and cinnamon has some amazing health benefits.
And I’m sure – one day at a time and one bowlful at a time,
I’ll be able to run/bike/lift weight like she does … right 🙂
What healthy, easy foods do you enjoy?
I'm really into smoothies rigjt now. We had to buy a blender recntly, and I've been throwing absolutely everything in there. It makes for easy meals around new baby needs.
My favorite recipe is strawberries, banana, a couple tablespoons of wheat germ, orange juice, raw milk, and flaxseed oil. If I'm feeling paricularly responsible, I add fresh spinach and some plain yogurt to the mix too. Sooo good!
I think just about anything would taste good in that beautiful bowl … my diet could use some restructuring, however …
My breakfast consists of a "Green Monster" smoothie in the summer (spinach, banana, oats, almond milk) & overnight oats made with yogurt & oatmeal & topped with fruit in the winter. And I throw ground flax seed in everything. And nuts. Because anything good is better with nuts! I LOVE breakfast!
Thanks for the ideas … I will try them sometime.
Thanks for the advice on Anne's blog! I appreciate you taking the time to minister to me.
I will read your story on your blog. I'm sure I will find more inspiring things as I read on!!
God Bless You!!
Is cake a healthy breakfast food?
Janet, thanks so much for sharing your story of healing. Amazing stuff. The comments have just been incredible. I hope you have an amazing year in life and blogging in 2010!
It is wonderful to start your day with nourishing food.
My favorite is quick oatmeal, I buy quick Quaker oats and use 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1 cup milk. Cook 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave, stir and cook 1/2 minute more.
No pot to clean, hurray!
Then add what you like: brown sugar, craisins, raisins, pecans, dried apricots, dollop of light whipped cream. Not all of these, just one or two favorites.
