Are you looking for a delicious and healthy breakfast that will not make you feel like you ate a brick in before coming to work? Some of us can’t have things like oatmeal in the mornings, since too much fiber may be too much to handle for the first meal. A shake may not be enough and you would hear your stomach growling in 30 minutes too.

They are quite versatile and you can do so many cool things with them and today I am going to show you may breakfast favorite that will kickstart your metabolism in the morning, without overloading the system!
