Eating Better, Power Up, Smart Tips

 Smart Tips for Optimum Nutrition

For years I started my day with coffee, and a few yours later toast. I could never understand why I always got tired fairly early in the day.

As I learned more about healthy eating, I switched up breakfast for something much healthier.

Almost every day I have plain balkan yogurt, some canned peaches (or other fruit to mix it up, use only canned fruit in juice - not syrup), I grind some nuts or seeds - about 9 almonds, or a about 1 - 2 tablespoons of pumpkins seeds or flax seeds are my usual, sometimes I will use whole cashews instead) and then I sprinkle a bit of my favourite protein powder on for some added flavour and protein boost.

This is just as quick as toast, much healthier and I do not get the energy slump that I used to. 

Also, following Holly's advice at Club Fit Yummy Mummy, I eat earlier so that I can rev up my metabolism for the day. This also helps to curtail late night snacking a I can more easily fit in my major munching earlier in the day.
