Healthy Breakfast Recipe
A healthy breakfast recipe is a bowl of fresh fruit in season with some yogurt, nuts, and flaxseed meal - yum! So, for example, when figs are in season, cut 3 figs into quarters and add 1/2 cup of berries (thawed if frozen when they're not in season.) Add 2 heaping tablespoons of The Greek Gods, traditional Greek yogurt which has to be tasted to believe how good yogurt can be! This is about 2 oz. so it's 80 calories worth. Yes, it has sugar in it, about 7 grams so you aren't eating very much. Then you add a heaping tablespoon of flaxseed meal, 7 chopped walnuts and a heaping teaspoon of lecithin. I bet you never knew healthy breakfast ideas could taste so sensational! Truly delicious and truly healthy all at the same time. And did I mention filling? Let me tell you what 3 figs can do for you.

This yogurt looks a little thin but I hope your mouth is watering for yogurt and fruit. You will be using thicker yogurt and it will be a bowl of fruit with globs of thick yogurt, nuts and flaxseed meal on top. Three to four figs provide 100 mg. calcium for strong bones and a healthy heart and some manganese for strong bones and wound healing. Figs are rich in potassium and help to stabilize cholesterol and blood pressure.

Each fruit will give you different but wonderful, health benefits. The nuts will provide you with about 50 grams of protein and the essential fatty acids, omega 3 fats. The flaxseed meal is also a great source of essential fatty acids. Lecithin consists mostly of the B vitamin choline and also contains linoleic acid and inositol. It is derived from soybeans, a lipid with many health benefits including protection from cardiovascular disease, improving brain and nerve function. Lecithin promotes energy and protects the organs and arteries from fatty buildup. Like I said, it's a healthy breakfast recipe especially when you add the flaxseed meal and lecithin.
When it comes to low glycemic recipes, a healthy breakfast recipe is essential! You want to start your idea out right - no sugar spikes - some protein and low glycemic carbs are essential. When you have a filling breakfast that wakes you up and gets you moving and sustains your energy until your next meal, you will be making wise food choices all day long! Bon appétit !
