We hear it all the time (ok you definitely hear it all the time from us): breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Starting your morning with a nutritious meal sets the stage for a successful day! Making a stop at the eating table each morning can help your weight maintenance by jump-starting your metabolism and stabilizing your glucose levels. The problem is, breakfast can get a little stale (no pun intended). From a piece of fruit to bland cereal, it can be less than enticing to grab that early morning meal. That's why we love this Skinny Southwest Scramble from Eat Yourself Skinny. Spice things up tomorrow morning!
