A healthy breakfast # 1

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I am sure you have heard this before, but it cannot be over stressed. It is the most important meal of the day. This is because it gives your body the fuel and the energy to get through the first half of the day.

Items needed for this meal:

1 cup of strawberries or raspberries
1 cup of milk
1 cup of plain yogurt
2 egg whites
1 egg
1 slice of whole wheat toast

First, mix the strawberries or raspberries with the plain yogurt. Note that fat free yogurt and fat-free milk are in order on this one. I personally don't like the taste of fat-free milk, so I usually reduce the amount of milk. The thought of plain yogurt also may repulse some tastes but the natural sweetness from the strawberries or the raspberries will off set this.

Cook the eggs and egg whites in a non stick pan with no oil until hard. place on plate with the slice of toast. You can use a touch of margarine with the toast if you don't like dry toast.

Serves 1 person
