Healthy Breakfast Recipe

A healthy breakfast recipe is a bowl of fresh fruit in season with some yogurt, nuts, and flaxseed meal - yum! Scroll down to get the recipe for this fresh fig and yogurt dish. Figs are impossible to get out of season and because they are quite perishable they taste great fresh. The kind of yogurt you use is up to you but I love The Greek Gods, a 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.

I bet you never knew healthy breakfast ideas could taste so sensational! Truly delicious and truly healthful at the same time. And did I mention filling? Let me tell you what 3 figs can do for you. They are perfect for people needing to manage their weight.

Each fruit will provide you with different but wonderful, health benefits including lots of antioxidants.

The nuts will give you 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 and 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. And it tastes as good as it looks!
