Breakfast....Nom...nom...nom...

Guilty as charged.....

Sometimes I go to bed thinking about what I'm going to have for breakfast and looking forward to it.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE breakfast.

I absolutely love pancakes, waffles, and all that sugary goodness.  However, I do not absolutely love the hard crash that comes after eating it.  These types of breakfasts are reserved for days when I am not required to think or move quickly and are special and rare occasions.

If you are like me, I can only handle eggs a few times a week.  I like eggs, but I don't like them EVERYDAY....Boooooorrrrring!!!!!  I like to change things up and keep it exciting.

Here are three of my favorite "clean" breakfast choices that don't include the sugary junk that make you feel like garbage all morning, or the same ol' same ol' plain ol' eggs.  

I. REAL CEREAL:
*I usually pair this with bacon or sausage links.
*not my picture...borrowed from ?...sorry

Ingredients:

1/2 C. Strawberries
1/4 C. Blueberries and/or sliced Banana
6 Almonds and/or Walnuts-Chopped
1/2 C. UnSweetend Almond Milk
Dash of Vanilla *Optional
Sprinkle of Cinnamon *Optional 

Instructions:
Slice up fruit, add chopped nuts, and almond milk.  Add a dash of vanilla and sprinkle cinnamon.
**Any combination of fruit/nuts are fabulous!**



II. ALMOST OATMEAL:
*I usually pair this with bacon or sausage links and a small serving of fruit, i.e. banana/apple.

Intstructions:
Add UnSweetened Apple Sauce, Coconut Milk, Almond Butter, Protein Powder, and Vanilla to small sauce pan.  (Or bowl if you prefer to microwave).  Heat on low just until warm.  (Do not over heat or it will get lumpy and "egg-like").  Sprinkle Cinnamon on top.
