Super Foods - Breakfast

While I'm not eating "organically" - at least not yet - I am taking pretty careful note of what I'm putting in my mouth these days.

At first, I couldn't give up my soda, so I went to caffeince free diet cola. Then the Skinny Bitches (literally - I'm reading the book Skinny Bitch, Bun in the Oven) told me I had to cut that out too. Something about artificial sweeteners, blah blah blah, okay. I'm not saying never, but I am cutting waay back on the soda, which usually sat in a 32 oz cup on my desk all day, and refilled themselves at will. Now, I'm having ice water with a splash of lemonade in it. I also have a big glass of orange juice every day. I know it's empty calories, but I am not a big fruit eater, and OJ IS A SUPER FOOD.

Breakfast is a great time to ingest some of these little power-packed goodies!

Here is a list of super foods, according to WebMD:

Here are some of the breakfasts I've had this week:

Today - blueberry and walnut pancakes. Wish they were whole wheat but we can't have everything. I used Promise "butter" and sugar free syrup, and they were DELISH.

Yesterday - egg beaters omlette with spinach, feta, olives, onions, and tomatoes

Monday - Vanilla yogurt with a little bit of granola and blueberries and craisins on top.

See how easy that is? We've gotten a lot of them in! (see bolded items)
