You cannot read nutritional advice anywhere without hearing about the many benefits of eating breakfast.
It is the meal setting your body up for success throughout the day.
When you eat in the morning, your body has the fuel it needs to run properly and the energy to accomplish your long to-do list.
What do you do if you're not hungry in the morning? Experts say, "Eat anyway".
I am not a breakfast person.
I understand why breakfast is important.
Of course, your body needs to start the day with fuel.
I would never go out in the morning and start my car without gas, so why would I consider hitting the gym without eating? Easy...
I'm not hungry when I wake up and my mornings are very hectic.
Breakfast for myself is the last thought in my mind each morning, as I struggle to assure my teenager is awake on time and my preschoolers have eaten their breakfast, properly brushed their teeth and have clothes on that match.
Don't get me wrong, my mind would be able to concentrate better on my daily tasks if I would give it something of substance to get it going.
From studying to be a personal trainer, I know how important it is to eat properly in the morning.
I have tried making a ritual of making eggs for my boys and myself.
It has lasted a few weeks at most.
Pretty soon they were back to feasting on cold cereal and toaster waffles and I was skipping this meal altogether.
As much as I would have liked to continue this great routine, finding the time and energy each morning to make a big breakfast, just wasn't feasible.
My solution to this problem is protein shakes.
They provide my body the nourishment it needs and easily fit into my busy morning schedule.
In the matter of minutes, I can enjoy a high quality breakfast and never miss a beat in the rat race of life.
Start your day the right way, increase your protein intake and enjoy the flavor at the same time, make a protein smoothie! Your body and taste buds will thank you! In the morning I use 1 scoop of protein powder, 4 oz.
of milk, 4 oz.
of Orange Juice, 1/2 banana and ice.
I throw this in the jar, blend for seconds, and enjoy! It is truly my breakfast of champions.
