I have never been much of a breakfast person. I know how important it is, however, as an essential part of your nutrition for the day. Breakfast starts your metabolism early in the day, and helps your body stay healthy, and maintain weight. Also, sleep deprives you of key nutrients that you need to function. Breakfast replenishes these.
So many Americans (or anybody, really) skip breakfast. Not normally because they want to, but because there is no time. Schedules are tight, and mornings can be hectic. Who has time to cook up a meal? Not me. Not if I'm working that morning. Luckily, there are lots of grab-and-go options available these days.
Kellogg's Nutri-Grain is especially tasty! Their new Fruit & Oat Harvest bars are made with whole grains, and contain 4g of protein. I can honestly say that they fill you up, and are perfect size for a morning on the go. I had a hard boiled egg, my favorite cup of coffee, and a Nutri-Grain Fruit & Oat Blueberry Bliss bar, for my breakfast today. Between feeding Brynlee, playing with her, and trying to get her to nap, I need something quick, that I can enjoy while she is sleeping. If you have ever tried to balance making eggs, and pancakes, with taking care of a baby, something is bound to go wrong.
A coffee, an egg or fruit, and one of these Nutri-Grain bars are a healthy way to start the day. Oh, did I mention they contain NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Man, I hate that stuff. It is the enemy of any healthy diet. Thankfully, none here. Two flavors are available - Country Strawberry, and Blueberry Bliss. Both taste great, but I am partial to the Blueberry Bliss.
I will remember these when I am running out the door to work early in the morning. I can easily eat one of these in the car with my coffee. I find that I am more productive at work when I have had something to eat, especially nutritional. Remember, these little bars are filled with REAL FRUIT and WHOLE GRAINS. What more can you ask for?
I caught my wife sneaking out with a bar in her hand. Sneaky!
