Breakfast Recipes that Beat Breakfast Boredom!Breakfast recipes? I know, I know…you’re in a rush, you have no time, you have kids to get ready for school, you’re late to work, you don’t like it, you’re not hungry. The list of reasons to skip your morning feast goes on and on. However, by the time you roll out of bed, your body is in starvation mode.

Sugar will send your blood-sugar plummeting and leave you starving in just an hour’s time. Try some of these protein and fiber packed breakfast recipes that will leave your taste buds happy and your stomach satisfied for hours! Added Bonus: Kids mimic our eating habits.
