Breakfast Ideas

As promised, here are three of my favorite breakfast options.  All of them are healthy and fast.  My 3 year old son loves helping me in the kitchen, so they have to be easy too!  First, my little ones favorite.....

Protein Vi-Waffles

No excuses with recipes like this one, I'm on the road, traveling through 3 states each month.  I can stop at any coffee shop for a cup of soy milk.  Take my Shake mix with me, and a couple flavor packets or pudding mix.  My small, travel sized, ninja blender goes with me everytime I leave the house.  Don't have an outlet adapter in your car, go to any health food store, and purchase a protein shaker cup.  With the ball inside, you can add your ingredients, shake, and go!
