What do you eat for breakfast?
Now if you’re going to mention that you don’t eat breakfast, give yourself a tiny (a good one!) slap in the face because breakfast is the most important meal of the day! I fuels you so get going and eat!
I personally think that all meals are as important because, well, I get to eat but seriously, no excuses. Eat breakfast. Everyday!
What do I eat for breakfast you ask?
I usually go for my good old Oatmeal or fruits, yogurt and granola.
Granola makes everything better.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some fruits and yogurt but add a little granola to that and BOOM! You’ve got the best breakfast going.
You already have your breakfast schedule all planned out?
Don’t sweat it, eat this fine granola on top of yogurt as your afternoon snack at work!
I sound like an infomercial…
Anyways,
Granola is delicious and will make your belly happy everyday with all of it’s flax, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, coconut and cherries, who wouldn’t be happy right!?
This recipe is full of Omega 3, fibers, magnesium, zinc, vitamin E and much, much more!
Enjoy my lovelies!
