Keep It Simple

Over the last few weeks my schedule has gotten busier and I’ve been struggling to eat in the morning and get all my food in. If I miss breakfast, my whole day is messed up and I never eat as much as I was supposed to. This struggle led to me trying different breakfast recipes that could save me time and still taste good. I took the winners and made a list so I could send it to my clients whenever they’re struggling with their food and maybe it will help you too. If you enjoy any of them or if you make any tasty or time saving adjustments I would love to hear about it!
