One of the biggest issues many of my clients express is that they need something quick and easy in the morning. Instead of reaching for nutrient void toast or boxed cereal that will send energy levels plummeting by 10:00am, I recommend for them make a batch of this the night before for smooth sailing in the morning. This recipe makes 4 servings so it's perfect for families, or will leave you leftovers for the week ahead. A healthy breakfast should contain adequate amounts of proteins and fats to keep blood sugar levels balanced for energy all day long.
