 Feeling overwhelmed in the morning to get everyone ready for work or school, uninspired by the same breakfast foods and looking for something that is healthy and that will get you through the mid morning lull. Pairing high fibre foods with a healthy source of protein and fat is essential to health. By eating a well balanced breakfast you will be waking your body up from it's starvation mode during sleep, you will kick start your metabolism to burn calories throughout the day, and you will feel great.
Breakfast doesn't have to be something that takes a lot of time to prepare, and this also means it can be more then a sugar filled bowl of cereal that does not contain any vital nutrients for optimal health. Give these two a try and see how you feel throughout the day. We hope you enjoy your super food charge. CHIA SEED PORRIDGE
