As simple or as complicated as you like, breakfast is the first meal of the day for most. Derived of the two words break, and fast, the name appropriately describes the breaking of a fast occurring between the first meal of the day and the final meal of the previous night.
Breakfast honestly, is my favorite meal of the day for a few reasons, the main one being, the fun food choices. I will be posting several of my favorite recipes I have found on line, along with those from friends and MCBMI women! The website where the recipes can be found will always be posted in the post, unless it is my own personal concoction, which will be rare! Please rate and leave comments, it will be greatly appreciated.
Who says sweet potatoes are only for lunch or dinner? According to Eat the Grains breakfast is also am option! If you like nut butter with berries, eggs, avocado, and bacon, or chorizo, peppers, and kale, then this is a recipe you will want to look into.

As a child, I always preferred pancakes to waffles, but as I have gotten older, my tastes have changed. There is nothing like a waffle that is crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, the kind that soaks up just the right amount of syrup. So if you are a waffle lover, try these oat waffles by Cookie + Kate. They are an easy to make gluten free option, and they taste great! Spring is here and Summer is around the corner, so berries are in season. Add them as a topping to switch things up a bit while giving your skin a healthy boost of healthy antioxidants.

I usually stick to eating fruits I know I like, but they say, “variety is the spice of life” so I am posting this Berry Dragon Fruit Smoothie by Stephanie from the Grateful Grazer, as encouragement to try something new. I got the idea of using Dragon Fruit in a smoothie from my latest MCBMI interview with Rebecca Nunez.
Rebecca’s interview is “Muscle Is Self-acceptance.” Read it and checkout her version of the Berry Dragon Fruit Smoothie. Try one, or try them both and compare. For breakfast or a snack, this is definitely a must try AND, it will go great with an Oatmeal Muffin, see the recipe to the right.
