The more responsibilities we pile on our plates the less time we have to devote to making health food choices. After spending a week living off of pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I decided I needed to get back to my healthy regime. Though, the thought of spending more than 10 minutes in the kitchen in the morning makes me lose my appetite all together.
Avocado toast and a green smoothie have been my go-to breakfast choices for a tasty, nutritious, quick meal. Avocado toast is simple. Mash the avocado in a bowl with lime or lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt . Add some fresh basil for a little twist and spread it on whole wheat bread. For the green smoothie I like to have a handful of kale or spinach to mix with a banana, a few pineapple slices, and a splash of soymilk. For added vitamins I add a teaspoon of milled flax seed. Voila! Breakfast is finished.
