Power Breakfast Ideas

I am a firm believer that breakfast is indeed one of the most important meals of the day. Based on everything I've read and researched, it's important to start stoking that fire early in the morning to get your metabolism going. However, every now and then, I get into a breakfast slump as I am admittedly a creature of habit. After eating oatmeal and raisins for nearly every morning for 2 years, I've recently settled on a routine where I combine yogurt (fat free), flaxseed, and a banana. If I want to take a walk on the 'wild side', I'll add raisins or craisins.

Well, I think it's time to mix it up again and I came across these 2 interesting recipes that I'm going to give a try. Cream of Wheat was one of my all time favorite morning cereals when as I was kid and Rice Pudding was always a favorite for dessert in my family. What? Dessert for breakfast? I'm in!!

If you are looking for something different to get your day started, give these ideas a try and let me know what you think:

Cream of Wheat with Maple, Walnuts and Cranberries



Coconut Rice Pudding with Raspberries
