In the morning we often have little time to prepare our breakfast and that's probably why we are used to missing it. We are wrong! Breakfast, as you've already been told, defines how you're going to feel throughout the day. This is when the toast comes to your aid. Very easy to prepare, it could be spread with all kinds of protein-rich foods. Think peanut or almond butter covered in bananas and some fresh almonds. Think avocado spread toast with a few egg rings on it. Think cottage or ricotta cheese and some fresh vegetables or fruit topped with balsamic reduction or honey or maple syrup in the sweet version. Let's not forget that the bread could contain seeds and cereals which are also rich in protein. That's a lot of ideas!
