What to include in Breakfast

Some ideas to consider when putting together breakfast:

1. Take your time and pace yourself when eating, if you don’t want to allow time in the morning, prepare food ahead of time
2. Include some protein dense food
3. Eat enough food
4. Eat real, unprocessed food
5. Don’t be afraid of vegetables, or eating “dinner food” (like chicken and salad, or turkey/vegetarian chili) for breakfast
6. Try whole grains (real whole grains like oats, millet, quinoa, amaranth, sprouted grains, etc.)
7. Establish a routine that you can stick with

Jamba Juice Smoothie : Vibrant Blueberry with Soy

Today is Sunday and I got time to experiment a little. As I have mentioned in my Previous post I have developed interest in Healthy Smoothies as a Meal Replacement option.
I thought of giving Jamba Juice a try for my Lunch. After doing some research on the options they have I concluded to give there Vibrant Blueberry option. Tried the smaller option and got some Soy Protein mixed with that. Well it wasn't bad and in fact left me felling fuller. Well that's what its all about. Right food and nutrition.
