Healthy breakfast recipe: Banana Coffee Smoothie
A healthy breakfast can be as easy and giving your morning coffee a slight twist! Yes, I’m big on breakfast smoothies and anyone who has been reading this site for a while knows that one of my favourite kitchen gadgets is my blender. I simply love how quickly I can whip up a delicious protein-base breakfast in 5 minutes!
I found this really great recipe that is a twist on the regular cup of coffee, which most North Americans call breakfast. Don’t get me wrong, I would walk far for a good cup of Costa Rican coffee (my favourite beans are from Costa Rica. Since tasting coffee in Costa Rica in November 2006, I’ve not been able to appreciate anything else at home). I do enjoy my morning latte but coffee is NEVER-EVER the first thing I put into my system. I usually have coffee after my fruits and a protein-base snack. If I start the day with coffee I get so shaky it’s surreal and I become famished quickly.
This recipe is a great twist because it gives you the taste of coffee without the having to deal with the emotional coffee-crash that follows the coffee-high.

8 Quick and healthy breakfast recipes
Am I sounding like a broken record? I surely hope so. I will keep beating the healthy breakfast drum as long as I possibly can because breakfast is that important.
When I see people walking around with a cream cheese bagel or a Mc-something-breakfast-crap I want to run to them and hug them and run with them to some of my favourite breakfast eateries.
Since I cannot hug everyone on the planet, I figured the next best thing is to circulate information on healthy breakfast ideas and also share as many healthy breakfast recipes as I can find.
Since most everyone is always rushing in the mornings, I found these 8 healthy breakfast ideas from Eating Well.

Breakfast smoothies are a healthy breakfast option!
I received a question from one of my readers and since I was going back and forth via email, I decided to answer her question via video so that I can provide more readers a chance to take advantage of Doreen’s great question!
Doreen’s brother has just switched to the vegan diet and as a result he’s lost a whopping 70 lbs!
Wow! Congratulations!
Now, I want to make it clear that in my opinion, becoming vegan is a lifestyle choice and not necessary to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
