ps. i dislike breakfast ALOT, help?Healthy foods/recipes?
I have to force myself to eat breakfast, so I came up with a couple of delicious things to make quickly and without cooking.





I love the crunch of a Cinnamon rice cake with 100% natural peanut butter and topped with either banana or apple slices and sprinkled with raisins. This is very healthy for you as it has protein from the peanut butter, vitamins from the fruit and iron from the raisins.





Another refreshing favorite is low fat or fat free vanilla bean yogurt, with a small splash of almond extract, a few tablespoons of granola with nuts, a tablespoon of milled flax seed (great omega 3), and your favorite chopped fruit. I sometimes mix it up with different flavors or ingredient combinations...use your imagination.





So, I lied,there is one quick-cook breakfast. Good Old Fashioned Quaker Oats Oatmeal. Just measure out a serving, add the right amount of water (see directions on package) and Cinnamon and extract (vanilla, almond, orange or anise). A sprinkle of brown sugar and perhaps raisins or chopped apples, maybe peaches or strawberries. This oatmeal never gets boring if you mix up the flavors a bit. These ideas transform blah into yay.





Enjoy your Breakfast.Healthy foods/recipes?
I don't like breakfast much either. I usually do a banana, juice and toast, or cereal and juice. Pick a cereal you really like and watch the sugar content. No more than 7-8 grams is OK.





I eat all food in its natural state. I don't buy pre-made, ';out of the box anything.'; I buy potatoes and tomatoes and fruit and frozen veggies. Sometimes canned like green beans or corn. I eat salads.





Also buy lean cuts of meat. No less than 85% lean hamburger, chicken and defatted pork, turkey bacon on occasion. I stay away from junk food and fast food. I substitute all sugar in recipes to Splenda or Sugar Twin, I substitute 1/2 the oil in cake and cookie recipes with apple sauce. Look on the internet for diabetic recipes or heart healthy recipes. They are the best for healthy choices.





Most meals can be made in 1/2 hour to 45 min. Watch Rachael Ray!


Good luck!

';Burgers that taste like hamburgers, but without meat! You can replace the Cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or any other cheese you like. If you prefer, you may use a 1.4 ounce packet of brown broth in place of the soy sauce.';
