The
morning routine is hectic. Gone are the
relaxing mornings of yesteryear, instead they’ve been replaced by a mad dash to
the door and a forgotten lunch on the counter.
Getting ready in the morning can be difficult, especially considering
you’ve got your kids to get ready, lunches to be made, washing up, and the
other duties that flood your morning routine.
You drive to work everyday with less than enough energy to start a day
of productivity. In today’s blog, we discuss
some quick options that can help you refuel in the morning.
Avoid
picking up coffee treats and fast food alternatives on your way to work. The key to a good breakfast and a healthy
lifestyle starts with preparation. Try
homemade peanut butter bars. You can prepare them ahead of time, grabbing them
on your path to the door. You’ll need peanuts,
sunflower seeds, raisins, oats, rice cereal and wheat germ. According to Lauren S. Johnson: “Place them
all in a bowl. Then combine peanut butter,
brown sugar and corn syrup (or honey) in a large bowl. Microwave the mixture
until it starts bubbling. Then simply add vanilla, stir, and pour the mixture
over the dry ingredients until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to a greased
pan, press down firmly and let it stand to harden. Once it hardens, simply cut
it into little squares and enjoy energizing breakfast bars for a week.”
Another
option is to create a smoothie, a great breakfast alternative that’s quick and
easy to make. Take a citrus berry
smoothie for instance, these are rich with healthy carbs and powerful
antioxidants, just add fresh berries, low-fat yogurt, and orange juice! Viola!
It only takes 5 minutes to create!
There
are countless options to help you energize in the morning, add your favorite
