Healthy Eating Doesn't Have to be Hard...
Do you find yourself eating doughnuts & coffee in the morning instead of a nutritious meal? Or grabbing a quick burger from one of the fast food stores, only to come home exhausted and ready to pop in the microwave one of those frozen meals?
More and more people are neglecting a healthy diet because of time constraints, and it doesn't have to be that way.
Here I am going to give you a few ideas of easy and healthy recipes you can use while on the run.
And if you are one of those people who like to plan ahead, I have a lense about How To Plan Your Meals with some great information.
Easy Breakfast Recipes
Smoothies are great for breakfast
- Banana Strawberry Shake - One of the easiest smoothies I know: blend 1 banana with a handful of frozen strawberries and one cup of milk (or soy milk). You can add 1 teaspoon of honey to sweeten it (if your banana is really ripe, you don't need to do this)
- Fruit Medley
2 plums, stoned and cut in half
2 ripe pears, cored and roughly chopped
10 strawberries, stems and top removed
1 banana
Blend all the fruit until smooth and enjoy! For a chunkier texture smoothie, chop up some extra strawberries, place them in your glass, fill with the smoothie and enjoy.
