Breakfast is the one meal that awakens our metabolisms. A healthy breakfast should contain some protein and some fiber. Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, beans or dairy. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk. Stay away from the sugary cereals, syrups, pastries, and white breads. They are digested quickly, will leave you hungry, and tired in a couple of hours. Protein and fiber satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling energized throughout your day.
People ask me all the time, "Ilyse, what do you eat for breakfast?" When I share my choices, I usually get a VERY surprised look back. It doesn't seem like the normal first meal of the day, but TRUST ME it is delicious. It also keeps me going like the energizer battery...I keep going and going! My Cousin Jessica visited me in LA a few months ago and thought that I was crazy when I told her what I eat for breakfast. Of course, I insisted that she tried it and I was right, she LOVED it! Now, I have hooked Jessica to my breakfast recipe and she has blogged about it on her own blog: Ready & Abel
Please enjoy reading my Cousin Jessica's blog as well. She is hilarious! I hope you try my famous breakfast and enjoy it too. Please let me know what you think by commenting below. Good luck with the recipe! Find it here: Stir-fry for Breakfast?
