One Of My Favorite Breakfast Recipes...

A Great Way To Start Your Day

I truly believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you don't put great nutrients in your body to get through the day then how the heck are we supposed to have the energy to tackle the obstacles coming our way..let alone workout? If you are a person that eats a low carbohydrate  diet, I still think it's important to get some good carbohydrates in your body early in the day. This recipe for my favorite "Torrie Made" cereal is a great one...and sure is yummy too! I've been eating almost everyday for months now...

Torrie Made Cereal


1/2 C Puffed Wheat Cereal.
1/4 C Kashi Lean Crisp Cereal
1/4 C Cheerios
1/8 C Pumpkin Seeds
 1-3 T Dried Cranberries
1/2 C Lowfat Greek Yogurt OR 1 C Almond Milk
   1     Scoop Low Carb Protein Powder 

If you have an allergy to Dairy Milk, Almond Milk is a great alternative to yogurt. I like to use Greek Yogurt as opposed to other types because it has a higher protein content, but you can substitute another low fat  yogurt as well.
