Hearty Breakfast!

As promised on my Instagram page a few weeks back I said I would share the benefits of an awesome breakfast selection. 
If your like me, and always seem to be in a rush, it's neat when you can find ways to make  life just that much more convenient. 
Normally, I am so much in a rush that I opt out breakfast all together, which is the worse idea in the world. 
Breakfast is essential and like they say the most important meal of the day. 
When all possible I tend to gravitate to juicing, it's fast, practical, and fills you up while giving you the nutrients you need. 
Here is the post I made exactly two weeks ago. 
I enjoy mixing in the frozen fruit bag from Costco with my Simply Orange Juice. 

The bag comes in a Medley with all natural fruit which include, papaya, mango, pineapple, and strawberries. I often throw in a banana just for extra Vitamin K benefits. This saves you the time of chopping! The bag comes in a decent size, if smart you can make it last a while. 


The Simply Orange brand is a juice that comes in a non-concentrate base, which there seems to be much debate about. Which juice is better concentrate or not from concentrate?
Good question indeed!!
From personal analysis it seems that when a juice comes from a concentrate process it looses nutritional value. Many would still argue that this is simply not true. 
Basically concentrate means that the water content from the juice was once removed and then added back in, dried and then rehydrated. The reason behind this derives from the longer life shelf that companies reach by doing so. But have you ever looked at the ingredients of this so called 100% concentrate juices? 
If indeed you are getting a juice that is 100% juice should there not only be one ingredient in the label? 
So indeed, be not fooled by what you read in the marketing scheme of your products, pay close attention to the ingredient section of all food you buy. Get the most for your money and make sure you are truly providing nutrients for your body and your not just falling into the scheme of false advertisement. Believe me when I say we are all victims! 
But the best thing about this line is you can find a decent selection of flavors, from pink lemonade to mango orange. You can also find products high in Vitamin D and Calcium an excellent choice for my vegans out there. 
Ancient Grain Hot Cereal
At the Expo I was given a bag of this delicious and wholesome hot cereal. Manufactured by Purely Elizabeth, her goal is to make products that are innovative nutrient rich ingredients. The idea for her oatmeal was to take regular oatmeal and make it better for you. Adding a lot of superfood ingredients to your morning oatmeal. This is a slow cooking, it takes about 20 minutes. "This is a great way to fill your body with nutrient rich ingredients and have energy throughout the day," states Elizabeth. 

And if you are still yet not convinced check out all of the nutritional facts above, taken from her website :

You can also check out more videos and see the array of products her line carries.

Enjoy a good breakfast this morning even if it's just juicing for the first time! 
Try it the worse that can happen is you don't like it! 
Happy Blogging. :)
