A wholesome week begins with a wholesome breakfast

Starting the week off right let alone the day can be a hard tantalizing task for many of us.  Trying to get the kids dressed, fed and out the door for school, leaves many of us moms skipping that morning meal that helps fuel us throughout the day.  Quite frankly having a 10 month old I find it hard to sit down and eat a healthy meal at any point of the day.  That's why putting that extra effort into the morning can help motivate you to make wholesome habits throughout the rest of the day.

Weekly Goal
  • Choose to be intentional about the first thing that you put into your mouth in the mornings.

This morning I made a smoothie packed with:  protein,  calcium, potassium, vitamin C, Omega-3s, Fiber, B-vitamins and much more.  All I did was cut up some strawberries, a banana, half of an apple, 1/2 cup of low-fat vanilla yogurt, pure frozen acai berry (I bought at Trader Joe's), flax seed meal ( choose the meal instead of oil or seed, for better absorption) and some water and ice.  I was able to eat a healthy meal in one hand and hold my baby in the other.  

  • To save time pre-cut your fruit and set out the blender the night before.

  1. Smoothies are a favorite around our house too. We also like to eat yogurt, fresh fruit, and cereal. For a "special" breakfast, we'll make muffins, waffles, or pancakes. :)
