Start the Day Off Right

Since the beginning of the year I have been making an effort to eat cleaner and fresher. Last year I focused on making my workouts habit and part of life but this year I'm ready to take on my nutrition. Breakfasts are pretty easy for me because I mostly make the same thing but I like to mix it up here and there. 

My usual breakfast:

2 scrambled eggs and piece of fruit or greek yogurt. 

Variations on eggs- sprinkle of shredded cheddar, salsa drizzle

Since I have been looking into foods that are better for my body I like to switch it up. I have been trying 1 serving cottage cheese or oatmeal with the following toppings:

1 sliced banana

2 tablespoons natural peanut butter

2-3 tablespoons local honey

sprinkle of cinnamon

Eggs are really good for you but on days where I eat my loaded cottage cheese or oatmeal (I like oatmeal better) I can tell my body has more energy. It doesn't take long for me to feel it. I got this idea from Jen Senecal who was a guest on one of the blogs at lunchpailsandlipstick.com. I love how she makes it simple. The link I thought was the most helpful is listed below:

My biggest tip is to make small changes here and there. Don't get overwhelmed all at once because you won't be able to keep it up. Start with one meal. Breakfast is easy because it sets the mood for the rest of the day. Make it mean something for your body. You are breaking your fast so give it something good. 

Much love,
