Listen to your mother when she says "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day". Many people assume that if you skip breakfast, it will be easier to loose weight. WRONG. Eating breakfast allows you to jump start your metabolism so your body has to utilize less energy to digest the food you consume throughout the day. It also gives you more energy to participate in physical activity! People who eat 3 wholesome meals a day with a couple of nutritious snacks in-between find it easier to maintain a healthy weight.
Here is an appetizing, quick meal that is guaranteed to brighten breakfast time!
Avocado Egg Toast
- Avocado (***The GOOD kind of fat)
- Egg
- Piece of whole grain bread
- Olive oil
- Mexican 4 cheese (A slice of good ole' Colby Jack would do just fine! Or for an extra kick, go for his brother, Pepper Jack!)
- Salt & Pepper
Toast your bread to your liking. Meanwhile, heat a pan on medium. Coat it with either olive oil or butter. Cook the egg sunny side up, lightly salt. Spread desired amount of avocado onto the toast. Drizzle with olive oil. Top with cooked egg. Sprinkle cheese. Pepper lightly. Bake for about 2 minutes in the toaster oven or broil in conventional oven to melt the cheese! Voila!
FUN FACT: Eggs are remarkably healthy! Eggs are considered to be the "perfect protein." In the words of Kris Gunnars, author of Authority Nutrition, "Just imagine...a whole egg contains all the nutrients needed to turn a single cell into an entire baby chicken." How cool right? I highly recommend Kris's blog!
Is your mouth watering like mine is? How could a sunny side up egg not brighten your day??
