You’ve probably got a busy schedule in the mornings:
– Getting the kids dressed
– Letting the dog out
– Staying on schedule so you’re not late for work…

Finding the time for a healthy breakfast isn’t always a possibility but we’re starting a new year in a few short weeks and it’s the right time to MAKE TIME.

The first meal of the day is what breaks your fast from the night before.
A well planned meal can keep you fueled and full until lunch.

Planning a meal that keeps you feeling satiated and satisfied will cut down on unnecessary snacking (without the need for a lot of will power) which will:

• Have you spending less money on pricey snacks
• Keep you eating natural whole foods (not processed packaged garbage)
• Save you the time you’d spend looking for snacks, prepping them, cleaning up etc

Let’s look at the 4 keys to a healthy breakfast:

This is less like breakfast and more like dessert.
