Mom (or Dad) on the Go Breakfast

We're always in a hurry but that is no reason not to take a few minutes and eat a healthy breakfast.   I try to eat my breakfast soon after the kids leave for school so that I don't let myself get too hungry and then start to think about unhealthy food choices.  To keep it simple I eat the same breakfast almost everyday.  It's simple, quick and full of good stuff:
Kashi Instant Oatmeal - Maple Brown Sugar
I add a sprinkle of cinnamon, a few whole walnuts, blueberries (about 2 dozen) and a few craisins for sweetness.

To drink I have a cup of green tea - I like Stash Green Chai Tea.


It's a simple, super healthy breakfast!

Green Tea


Green Tea is considered a disease fighting food. Green tea contains polyphenols, a group of chemical substances found in plants, that may protect our bodies against a number of cancers. Green tea has also been proven effective against stroke, digestive problems, and heart disease.

My favorite is type of green tea is Chai spiced green tea. There are several brands available but I really like Bigelow and it is easy to find in most supermarkets.

Green Tea can also be used externally to make your skin glow, heal blemishes, cuts, and rashes, soothe strained or tired eyes, fight body odor, and more. For more information see the complete article:
