Salba Chia With Purely Elizabeth Ancient Grain Oatmeal

You’ve probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but do you know why? Just like cars need gas, our bodies need fuel for energy, clarity and overall good attitudes. Eating breakfast also increases metabolism, and studies have shown weight loss is easier for those who eat breakfast. When you keep your body from getting the fuel it needs, there’s a tendency to overeat during lunch and dinner. Similarly, eating the right breakfast foods can help boost your day.

I have been bad about eating breakfast over the years. Now it has caught up with me and I try to eat something when I fist get up so that my body can have something to work on. Some mornings I am not very hungry so it is always a challenge! I look for simple items to make that are healthy and tasty too.

Here’s Salba Smart’s guide to a healthy breakfast:

· Eggs – You’ve probably seen all the commercials for the “Incredible Edible Egg,” and here’s why: eggs are a great source of protein, which gives you energy for the day, and contains nutrients like Vitamin D.

· Oatmeal – It’s such a classic breakfast food, but it’s often overlooked. Oats are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, folate and potassium. Whether you cook on a stove, grab a pouch to-go, or heat in the microwave, oatmeal is a quick and filling breakfast that gets the job done. Plus, it’s one of the best foods to add Salba Chia seeds for a boost of fiber, protein and iron.

· Greek Yogurt – Another great grab-n-go option, greek yogurt is packed with calcium and protein, and mixing in fruit can add sweetness and flavor.

· Grapefruit – Add a little sweetness to breakfast by eating grapefruit. The tart, tangy and sweet fruit is filled with Vitamin C, which can help reduce cold symptoms, as well as Vitamin A and fiber.

The best part? You can add more nutrition to these foods by just sprinkling on 1 Tablespoon of Salba Chia Whole Seeds!

I grew up on oatmeal just like everyone else and I still love it so I was happy to try and new brand that is all natural, organic and gluten free. Purely Elizabeth offers cereals, oatmeal, pancakes, granola and cookie mixes that are as pure as you can get.

I received the Organic Cranberry Pumpkin Seed Oatmeal to try out. The oatmeal was very easy to prepare in either the microwave or stove top and it took 2 minutes! I added some of my Salba Chia Boost packets to it for an additional kick of healthy flavor and filling. I could not even finish the serving, it was that filling. The oatmeal has a nice burst of flavor from the cranberry’s and a satisfying crunch from the pumpkin seeds. Very good!
