1) In a hurry,
2) Don't have a huge appetite (great time to eat!) and,
3) Can think of 100 things I need to do vs. eat, BUT I always get in trouble if I don't eat 2 hours after I wake up. So! You've probably checked out My 3 Power Breakfasts or My Favorite Fall breakfast, so now I will share My Spring Breakfasts!
1) Quick & Dirty- Kale juice, love this one from Whole Foods that's already packaged PLUS 2 hard-boiled eggs, and an hour later no-sugar added dried mangos (Starbucks always has them in single servings!)
Approx. calories: 400-500
2) Seemingly decadent- MARK bar with a teaspoon of Peanut Butter & Co.'s Smooth Operator spread on top! This tastes like DESSERT, it's crazy! It feels like I'm eating a Reeses for breakfast! You can find both at Go Grocer on North Ave (for Wicker Parkers) or S Michigan (for SLoopers) and Mark bars at MaZi Dance Fitness!
Approx. calories: 300-350

| Extra protein! & good fats |

| Too much yumminess! |
3) Brunch- Spring invites the brunch concept back into my life! The Tomatillo Egg Scramble at Bongo Room is PERFECTION; Egg whites, green tomatillo salsa, grilled chicken and avocado with optional mulit-grain toast. When I have this meal, I seriously can't think of food until dinner. It's so yummy and filling.
Approx. calories: 500 or 600-700 with bread. There are Bongo Rooms conveniently located by both MaZi's, coincidence? I think not!
And of course I top all of this off with my Americano's, that's always non-negotiable. :) So just eat breakfast already and you will find your body burns energy more efficiently throughout the day, you will be nicer, your body will feel GOOOOOD, and you will make better food choices throughout the day!
