The Most Important Meal
For most of us, the longest gap between meals is from evening dinner to breakfast the
next morning. While we are sleeping our bodies continue to process and use nutrients,
so it’s important to replace those nutrients with a good breakfast.
Keep ingredients like fruit spreads, cottage cheese, juice, oats and whole grain bread
on hand.
These simple recipes are a sensible way to start your day.
