Healthy Breakfast Recipes
Let's be honest, it's hard to make time for breakfast; but setting aside 15 or 20 minutes every morning can greatly improve your day. According to Daphne Oz in her book "The Dorm Room Diet", "[having breakfast] ensures that your body won't go into starvation-preservation mode and also provides your body and brain with energy so you can be on the top of your game."
