You Have Time For Breakfast

I’m done hearing from my clients, “I’m too busy to eat breakfast” or “To lose weight you have to skip a meal or two”.  When I hear that shivers literally go down my spine and I try to control the look of disapproval on my face.

You have been sleeping for hopefully 8 hours.  Your body is STARVING, it needs to fuel to get your day started! Here’s something to think about we are awake for about 14-16 hours, do you go 8 hours without eating?  For the love of God, hope that the answer is No.  I mean even Russell Crowe eats breakfast, I mean its cheeseburgers, but at least it something!

So you’re busy what can you do?
You could drink it.

• Breakfast Smoothie
  • Blend 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 scoop of whey protein powder
  • add some ice cubes

*if you purchase a smoothie, please watch the calories and make sure if includes a fair amount of protein less than 10 grams in unacceptable.

• You could make it the night before:
  •  ½ cup oatmeal (real oats please, not instant)
  • 4 egg whites (can be eggbeaters®)
  • ¼ c berries (frozen or fresh depending on season
  • 2 T splenda(r) or other sugar substitute
  • ¼ t nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice
  • spray with cooking spray on a small regular pan
  • Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees
