Around the World Breakfasts
Breakfast is a great way to start your day! It
will give you energy, boost your metabolism and
help you feel the best you can. Whatever country
you were born in, or wherever you have traveled,
it is important to start your day with breakfast.
Many people are rushing in the morning and run
out without starting your motor, but just like you
fuel your car, you need to feed your body for peak
performance.  Try getting up a few minutes early to
have breakfast or prepare something the day before

+ cottage cheese

that provides a protein rich breakfast to make your
day the best it can be. Studies show that breakfast
eaters weigh less than those who skip the morning
meal. These quick, creative and tasty meals will get
you off to a great start! You can incorporate any
around the world ideas using protein, healthy whole
grains and a small amount of healthy fats. The
Mediterranean Diet has been shown to help with
cardiovascular risk factors.
