Power Breakfast

Remember when your mother told you breakfast was the most important meal of the day? That advice is just as true today. We need a boost of energy to start our day.

Here's a power breakfast that's easy to prepare that will get your day off to a great start:

• In a cereal bowl, combine half a cup of oats with a cup of water.
•  Heat in microwave for a minute.
• Stir in a few blueberries,  banana slices and sweeten with a teaspoon of honey.

Oats have complex carbohydrates that are slower to metabolize than processed grains,  releasing energy over a longer period. This means no sudden spikes in blood sugar only to drop just as suddenly leaving you tired, hungry or irritable.
