Champions of Breakfast
Tuesday’s Natural Health: Vegan foods are some of the easiest, best and most nutritious of any breakfast options. A package of homemade vegan granolas arrived in my mailbox this week from from a friend in Virginia who is an amazing chef and the brains and craftswomanship behind MacShack Acres so I’ve been eating pumpkin seed-ginger granola or cranberry pecan maple granola with soy milk and blueberries for breakfast every morning. No matter what vegan treats you choose for breakfast, eat something.
You don’t have to take my word for it, though. Listen to the experts: The number one healthy habit tip of the five healthy habits in the Mayo Clinic Diet is “Eat a Healthy Breakfast (but not too much).” And studies show that one of the greatest common denominators between people who keep a healthy weight after losing weight is the fact that they eat breakfast every day. So whether it’s a banana and some soy yogurt on the run; a mango smoothie; or vegan waffles and tempeh bacon, eat something to kickstart your metabolism and your day, every day.
