One of the  major areas of opportunity that I see in so many people's diets is breakfast.  Many of the clients that I work with simply skip it, and one of the main reasons is TIME!  I sure can understand that one, especially now that I have two young children.  At the same time, consuming breakfast can help get you off to a smart start for the day.  Not only does it help keep hunger at bay, but it also helps adults perform better at work and children perform better at school.  Personally, I've also discovered that a well-rounded breakfast that includes a quality source of protein and fiber for staying power, and while this recipe is by no means fancy or gourmet, it is a simple, nutritious, and satisfying all-in-one package. Enjoy!
