Morning Rush

For breakfast, I had half a papaya and a White Chocolate Macadamia, Luna Protein bar. Breakfast is a must!



Why is it important to eat breakfast?

-fuels you with energy to jumpstart your day

-keeps your metabolism running

-satisfies hunger cravings

Reasons why you shouldn't skip breakfast...

-no energy can prevent you from thinking and choosing decisions wisely

-feeling starved, is an empty, harsh feeling on your tummy

-crash dieting can cause yo-yo weight gain(yes you can loose an automatic five pounds from skipping a meal, but once you start eating normally again, your weight instantly shoots back up)

Some people have the excuse of not having enough time to make breakfast, because they are in a "rush". if that's the case and your always on the go, pick up a vegan smoothie or protein bar real quick. They're tasty, fast to eat, and perfect for the on the go lifestyle.

When I was previously in San Francisco for two weeks, most the time for breakfast I either had fresh fruit, sprinkled with 1 teaspoon of organic brown sugar, over 1/4 cup of steel-cut oats or my favorite home made,vegan smoothie.


I forgot to take a picture of the vegan smoothie ingredients, but here is my recipe:

"Choco-Peanut-Butta-Banana Smoothie"

-1 cup of Chocolate almond milk or vanilla soy milk

-1/2 banana

-1 tbsp of organic Peanut Butter

-5 ice cubes

-blender!

I hope this inspires you all to make beneficial breakfast decisions!

Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Banana lover,
