Importance of eating breakfast

I am a HUGE breakfast fan.  I can eat breakfast food all day.  Thankfully, I'm not eating pancakes, waffles and greasy sausage every morning.  But, I definitely make a point to eat breakfast every morning. Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day.  It gives you energy to start the day and moreover it is linked to many health benefits including weight control and improved performance.

Most mornings, I whip up an egg white omlette with spinach, mushroom and some low fat cheese.  It carries me through most of the day and it doesn't weight me down for workouts.  If you don't have much time, try a protein smoothie.  Here's one I grabbed from the cookbook: "Healthy foods for kids":

"Sesame Street" Smoothie (serves 2)
2 melon wedges: seeded, skinless and chopped
3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
2 medium bananas
1 tbl Sesame Seeds
1 tbl Tahini (ground sesame paste)
11/4 cups lowfat milk, (chilled)
1-2 Tsp Honey

Blend all fruit to a puree, then add Sesame seeds and tahini & blend for another minute.  Gradually pour in the milk & honey until all blended.

Have a great week!  Hope to see you soon.
