A good breakfast for me that's got a mild amount of protein, and some good complex carbs, is plain oatmeal, just a serving, and a good squirt of agave nectar. That's it! It tastes similar to cinnamon roll instant stuff, just much healthier and you know what's in it. =]
HEY! Where oh where did you get the mug tree??? I have been looking everywhere trying to find one to put my Christmas mugs on. Nobody carries them anymore. Thanks!
just curious, how are you able to get through the morning on less than 300 calories? I probably am around the same height and weight as you, and I always need to eat 500+ calories for breakfast or I get really hungry within a couple of hours. this looks really good though. I really want to try that sprouted cereal. I have a thing for super whole grain products :P
this is almost what i eat for breakfast...i do the plain greek yogurt, a little truvia mixed in, then a small handful of plain almonds, then lastly organic berries...this week it's blueberries....the protein is awesome and i stay full nearly til dinner time...i hope you do more healthy food videos...i just discovered you today and i've enjoyed your vids so far... :)
Agave might be low-glycemic but it's pure fructose(~70%), therefore it's about the worst sweetener you can find. Eating much fructose, your body will shift in state of insulin resistance, your sugar metabolism will decrease etc. Most of fructose gets stored as body fat. Simple white sugar would be better, I'm not joking.
@bams3r From Wikipedia - "Agave nectar's glycemic index and glycemic load are comparable to fructose, which in turn has a much lower glycemic index and glycemic load than table sugar (sucrose)."
@myhousewifelife In nature fructose tends to appears in low amounts, but when you isolate fructose or eat something like agave it becomes very adverse. Every cell in your body utilizes glucose(sugar).Therefore it is "burned up" after you consume it. With fructose 100% of the metabolic burden rests on your liver because your muscles cant utilize it. Fructose leaves the liver as fat and fat does not raise insulin levels. hurray. skip the agave. google more about fructose. Stevia is really great.
i love your videos! I am always excited to see when you have posted a new one, you have such a great personality and have lots of good ideas and suggestions :) I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Looks delicious! I love Greek yogurt, but have never thought to mix it w/Agave. The cereal looks great also - I love Ezekiel bread so I might have to check that out =)
Hi Jen, I really enjoy your videos; sometimes I re-watch some of them for inspiration. I also love cereals to put in my plain yogurt; I like to add cinnamon or honey or chocolate chips for sweetness. You made me realize that I eat very healthy...Keep on posting, can't wait! xxx
This looks soooo good!
