Better Breakfast Month (September)

Breakfast might not be everyone's favorite meal. Yet, breakfast stimulates the brain, raises your sugar, and gives you energy. Since sugar tends to be used while the body is in sleep mode. Therefore, breakfast choices should be chosen carefully if you are pre-diabetic or diabetic. Also, the portion size is important. 

Make sure your cereals have less sugar. Check the salt content. For example, the cream of wheat has iron, calcium, and B vitamins. However, it has a high amount of salt. Yet, it makes a good breakfast when combined with fruits and nuts. 

Another good breakfast is eggs with lentils and avocado. But, if you are trying to lower your cholesterol, you can make egg whites. Egg whites can be scrambled or made into an omelet. Overall, consuming eggs can help you lose weight and get the necessary nutrients. Here is the recipe for making these egg whites, lentils, and avocado breakfast. 

Ingredients: 

3 large eggs to make Egg whites

1/2 of bell peppers

1/2 of onions 

1 bag or can of lentils 

Avocado

Garlic (optional)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Preparation: 

Begin by making the lentils in a small pot with water. Lentils usually take fifteen to twenty minutes to make.  Peel an onion and cut it in half. Next, slice the onions. Add a small portion of sliced onions to the lentils. 

After that wash one bell pepper. Remove the seeds and rinse the bell pepper. Cut the bell pepper in half. Slice the bell peppers and add a small portion to the lentils. Yet, this is optional. 

Peel two cloves of garlic and use a garlic presser. Add the garlic to the lentils. Once again, the garlic is optional. Then, in one skillet, cook the sliced bell peppers with a little bit of water. Wait for the water to evaporate. 

After that in the same skillet, grill the other half of the sliced onions in olive oil. While that is cooking, separate the egg yolks from the white part of the eggs. Then, add the egg whites to the skillet and scramble everything with a little bit of olive oil. Turn off the stove and begin serving the egg whites and the lentils. Wash one avocado and slice it in half. 

Remove the avocado seed. Then remove the avocado peel. Next, slice the avocado. Add the avocado on the side of the egg whites and the lentils. Here are resources about Better Breakfast Month.
