Jaqx Food Crave- Healthy High Fiber Granola Breakfast

One of my favorite quotes from a dietician is: 'Eat like a king at breakfast, like a prince at lunch, and like a pauper for dinner."

Basically stating that your richest meal should be in the morning, and your smallest meal and calorie intake should be at night. I'm a big believer in large breakfasts and make it a regular habit to incorporate protein (as a vegetarian I opt for eggs, low sodium fat free cottage cheese and another dairy source), fruit, fiber and some other vegetable or bean. It's like taking a daily vitamin in the a.m. but choosing to get your vitamins from whole foods and juice instead of a lab made product.

Here are a few shots of some of my breakfast options over the past week:

1. Strawberries, flax seed, granola, Greek yogurt and almond milk
2. Pomegranate seeds, granola, berry yogurt
3. High fiber cereal, bananas, blackberries, flax seed, almonds and almond milk.
4. An omelette with black beans, corn, tomatoes, red onion, spinach and low fat shredded cheese
5. Beet and purple carrot juice from trader joes

Trader Joes is my go-to grocery store, I absolutely love their locally grown fresh produce and all organic products. Hope you have a happy day and healthy breakfast!
