It All Begins with Breakfast!

One of my platforms, Healthy Habits for Life is a something I strongly believe in because education and awareness begins as soon as you step foot on this earth. It's important to get started with healthy habits from that first day...which of course, largely depends on parents, teachers and guardians at first. However, if a child is brought up with healthy habits from an early age, they are more likely to stick to those habits for the rest of their lives. By healthy habits I mean healthy eating, exercising and lifestyle habits, such as abstaining from drug and alcohol abuse. Although it may seem trivial, it really all begins with a healthy breakfast! Yes, it does....breakfast is the way you start your day; the first meal that enters your body, and the first way you are taught to care for and respect your body. It's all about the message in breakfast. Teaching kids to eat something healthy that will give them fuel for energy is a great way to start them on healthy habits! With that, I have included one of my favorite healthy morning recipes that is both kid and adult- friendly. Enjoy!!
Berry Sweet Oats (5 minutes cooking time)
-1 Cup of whole Oats (not instant)

-2 small handfuls of walnuts
Bring 1 cup of water plus 1/2 cup of the milk to a boil, then add the oats, butter, sugar, vanilla & simmer for 5 minutes or until tender. If berries are frozen, add them to the last minute of simmering. Otherwise, add the fresh berries, walnuts and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of milk. Eat!
