You know the age old saying, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" well there is some truth to that. Research shows that those who eat breakfast tend to consume fewer calories, throughout the day, than those who skip breakfast. When choosing a breakfast make sure to include a lean protein source (egg, greek yogurt, chicken, fish, turkey). Protein will aid in keeping you full throughout the morning. This is one of my go to, easy, quick and simple breakfast recipes. Mangiamo!
