This morning has already been a disappointment. I found a recipe yesterday for cinnamon apple oatmeal that looked SO GOOD. I woke up ready to make it and...the apples that were sitting on the counter yesterday were gone. :( Bummer. BUT, I did not let this tiny bump in the road upset me too much...(although I'm still not entirely over it, yet. ha.)
I almost gave up this morning and put off my eating healthy for another day. There were so many other breakfast foods calling my name...none of them very healthy options, however. But instead of calling it quits, I reached for my handy dandy Carnation Breakfast Essentials! I love this stuff and I've been drinking it on and off for breakfast since high school. It's pretty fantastic so if you are ever looking for a good quick breakfast drink, well look no further! Mixed with 1 cup of skim milk brings the calorie count to 220, which isn't bad seeing as I'm attempting to keep my "big" meals to between 300-400 calories. (Hey...a smaller breakfast calorie count means a little snack before lunch, right?) Even another plus to this stuff is it contains 21 vitamins and minerals including: 13 grams of protein, 25% of the daily value of Vitamin E, 50% of the daily value of Calcium and Vitamin D, 140% of the daily value of Vitamin C and last but not least, Iron (always a plus for me since I always seem to be a little anemic). And the last plus is...it's yummy. :)
