We have all heard the expression, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. Our parents and medical experts have been quoting this “golden rule” since we were kids. How many people actually follow this rule though? Probably not as many as you would think. Stop and think about your breakfast this morning.
Was it cold cereal and milk, A doughnut and coffee, or perhaps some other pastry along with a cup of coffee? Despite our busy lives and mornings requiring IV dripped black coffee, breakfast is a time to say hello to the day while putting real food stomach. Not just any food, tasty but healthy food is the key.
