Break the Fast...

We know breakfast is important; we've been told it over and over again. Well, I won't bore you with the why, just trust me and eat as soon as you get up in the morning. Here's one of my favorite breakfast recipes.

Stef's Good Start To The Day Pancakes

1/3 cup oatmeal (complex carb)
5 egg whites (protein)
1/4 blueberries (simple carb)
2 tsp. cinnamon (yummy spice which is thought to help increase metabolism)
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (just another yummy spice)
2 tsp. natural almond butter (good fat)
drizzle of sugar free maple syrup (about 1/8 cup)

Mix first 5 ingredients together in a bowl. Pour into a heated medium size skillet sprayed with Pam spray. Flip when underside is golden brown about 1-3 minutes. Cook for another minute or so. Top with almond butter and drizzle of sugar-free syrup (Cary's is my favorite). Eat up.
