And the doctor said ~ Eat Breakfast

I saw my chiropractor, Dr. Lavender today and did a set of stress re-scans. It wasn't good and I was disappointed to see that I have allowed a year of family crisis to stress me to the point where it is affecting my physical health. There's always good news though. I can turn it around by prioritizing my well-being.

Dr. Lavender's first perscription is to eat some protein within thirty minutes of waking up. Really? You saw yesterday's post right? I'm a coffee junkie first thing in the morning. I don't even think rational thoughts until I have about three quarters of a cup in me. But, I have another appointment in two weeks and I want to tell him that I've been eating breakfast :-)....and I want to feel better. So, what do you have for breakfast protein that isn't ham, bacon, or sausage?

Very Berry Protein Blast

Steel cut oats are one of my favorite breakfasts. I love them with sliced almonds, berries, a drizzle of real maple syrup and a splash of milk. This evening I baked a bowl and refrigerated them so that I can just quickly heat them up in the morning. Variety is a must or I'll set myself up for failure so I have a fresh dozen organic local eggs, protein powder, frozen berries, fresh bananas, sliced almonds, walnuts, fresh homemade granola and vanilla Greek yogurt. This way, what ever mood strikes me in the morning...I'll be ready.

How are you taking care of yourself in the morning? ~Blessings, Janet
