Breakfast? Yes, please.



"It’s amazing: It can help improve your memory, help you to concentrate, and help you to maintain a healthy weight — and it tastes good, too! So, what is it? Breakfast. Research has uncovered numerous benefits associated with the morning meal." (Kashi, Breakfast Ideas to Jump-Start Your Day)


We hear it all the time, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Yet unfortunately many of us fail to put it into action. The benefits of eating breakfast are so immediately tangible that you think it would be easier for us to adapt its practice into habit. 


3 Simple TIps for making this important productivity tool a habit:
- Find some easy options you like (see mine below) and stock up! 
- Keep portable options available for mornings you run out of time. 
- FORCE IT! Even if you are not hungry in the morning, force it down! 



Binderclip Man's Breakfast Staples:
- Kashi Go Lean Cereal with Milk (I prefer RiceDream Enriched Vanilla), Fruit
- Kashi Go Lean Cereal with Natural Vanilla Yogurt, Fruit 
- Whole Grain Toast with Natural Peanut Butter, Fruit
- Add a hardboiled egg for protien if desired (keep a bunch on hand)
- Favorite Morning Fruit: Bananas and Oranges 
(Find a couple cereals you love.  I love Kashi, a healthy choice that has several varietys to keep you interested.   Eating cereal with milk, cereal with yogurt, or toast with peanut butter give you three varieties to choose from in the morning.)
