This was a great week for comments!   Yeah and yippee for all of us!  Please keep reading, returning daily, and posting.  THANKS.<\/p>\n

So many of us wrote comments on Breakfast, a post from a few weeks ago, that I thought it would be good to forward that subject a little more today.<\/a><\/p>\n

PLEASE make Katie, a lot of readers, and me very happy and keep posting what you have for breakfast, and what you think is a healthy start to the day.  Especially for those of us in a rush.<\/p>\n

What do I have for breakfast?  Usually small servings of two food groups, usually a grain and a protein group.  Often, a cup of cereal, mixed, and some milk in it.  Sometimes, I’ll add some fruit like I did this morning when my wife shared a banana with me.  (By the way, today is my wonderful wife, Catherine’s, birthday.  Check out her website,<\/a> she’s a author of young adult books.)<\/p>\n

Then 2-3 hours later I’ll have something else.  Not much, but something.<\/p>\n

A suggestion for Katie, who is in a rush?  Cereal and milk takes just 5 minutes.  Wake up 5 minutes earlier, perhaps?  Or grab a piece of fruit and run out the door.  Also, making a batch of low fat\/high fiber muffins ahead of time and grabbing one daily might work.  Add some raisins, or dried fruit pieces into the batter for sweetness.<\/p>\n

Smoothies made in a blender (may be the night before?) could be fast and easy.  Try a 1\/2 cup non-sweetened fruit juice, a half a banana or apple, a scoop of protein powder, and some ice cubes (only if you’re going to have it immediately).  That’s a good start, I think.<\/p>\n

It’s my experience that when I have a high-sugar item (like a donut) I get a quick boost of energy, but it doesn’t last long.  That’s why I choose a healthier, complex carbohydrate that’s a whole grain, with fiber, and also some fruit.  A little protein, like dairy in the case of milk, also makes me feel good longer.<\/p>\n

You all probably know from reading me regularly that I recommend eating very little meals, and healthy snacks every 2-3 hours.<\/p>\n

Please return tomorrow, and I hope you’re trying my 30 days of suggestions.  Please be sure to bookmark or “favorite” this URL, or subscribe to the daily RSS or newsletter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
