Breakfast has a new face for 2016

January 4, 2016 By Beth Nydick Leave a Comment

Your mom was right! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Why is protein such an important part of a healthy lifestyle?

When you have protein first thing in the morning, it keeps you fuller longer, which means you’re not hungry and you’re going to have less cravings, which equals eating healthier.

Below are 3 healthy breakfast recipes that are all a good source of protein plus 2 bonus recipes for you.

What should a healthy breakfast consist of?

A healthy breakfast should be mostly protein with fiber, basically veggies and healthy fats plus a small amount of complex carbohydrates. My breakfast options mentioned above will fit into your week nicely.

My Healthy Breakfast Routine

Here’s what I do for before breakfast each morning:

I kick off my healthy day each morning with:

  • 1 mug of warm water
  • 1 tbs of apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbs lemon
  • ½ tsp raw honey ( I don’t like sweet, so add to taste.

This gives me a plan to start my day. It flushes the toxins out of my liver and gets my digestive system moving.

Check out my favorites below, each one helps me start my work day right.

CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAKFAST BOWL

SERVES 1RFw2015 Chocolate Banana Pudding

  • 4 tbs chia seeds
  • 1 cup dairy-free milk
  • 1 small banana, mashed
  • 1 heaping tsp raw cacao
  • Hemp seeds (garnish, optional)
  • Shredded coconut optional)

MIX THE PUDDING. For best results, assemble the ingredients the night before and let it set in the refrigerator. The next morning, you can eat the pudding cold.

WARM OPTION. If you would like to enjoy the pudding warm, simply warm the milk in the morning (warm, not boiling). Add it to a bowl with the remaining ingredients and enjoy.

SERVING SUGGESTION. Hemp seeds and shredded coconut.

Add those veggies! It so much easier to make a hea Add those veggies! It so much easier to make a healthy dinner when you have roasted a whole bunch of veggies. Last nite I made zucchini with scallion, carrots with parsley , tomato with garlic and it took me 5 minutes. Here is how to make veggies fast and tasty.
1. Pull all the veggies you have in the house that you can cook. Pick 3 to 4.
2. Chop everything into big pieces or keep whole.  3. Add to a bowl, add olive oil, salt and pepper. Get really crazy and peel some garlic to throw in. Put it all onto 1 or more oiled pans.
4. Roast the shit out of them. 375’ for 20-40 minutes is always a safe bet. You can always ask Alexa or google for that particular veggie. 
5. Have some right out of oven, taste the best!
6. Pack them into containers and save for tomorrow.
7. When hungry pull out some veggies, pour them into a pan to heat up. I like to top mine with a fried egg or avocado and salsa.
8. Enjoy! ⁣

Relationship and collaboration ! I say it all the Relationship and collaboration ! I say it all the time and I live it.  I was asked to be apart of this incredible fundraiser.  Because .. well I’m fab.... that and I have a relationship with @dishitgirldina  @jessica_dambra & @cmspiceculture , the hosts. No I don’t know them from my kids and have only met Dina in person. But when I’m booked on their show, I show up in top shape, create a fantastic segment and follow up with social media leverage. We all work as a “team”, tagging each other to get  out the content. ................The way I made it happen from the start was this.... I saw Dina was hosting a new local show and I reached out to her and the producer. The producer was excited for me to bring cocktails to the show. Nothing special, just people being people. What are you doing to create your next opportunity from your contact list?? Yes, right now!?!?? Nothing? Let’s talk, I bet you I will help you find more than one. .. ⁣

Did you know that there are over 5,600 children in Did you know that there are over 5,600 children in the Foster Care system in NJ . Children who are usually placed in foster care have been evaluated by a child protective services worker and the court, who have determined it is not safe for them to remain at home. However, there is an alternative solution instead of the foster care system, interim foster care, also known as “IF.” 

Interim foster care provides a safe place for babies to live while decisions regarding their permanency are being finalized. It allows biological parents to continue to fully explore their options while knowing their baby is being well cared for in a loving home. The biological family has a minimum of three days to make a decision about their family. The baby may then be returned to their birth families or placed with an adoptive family when interim care is complete.  Dm me for more details ⁣

I switched high schools between my Junior and Seni I switched high schools between my Junior and Senior years. It was anything but FUN!

I cried for the first few months. 
I didn't even know what a syllabus was and I was drowning. I remember trembling at the desk of Mr. Borlo, the English professor, with his small wire-framed glasses and brown curly hair, I cried. I told him I was unable to finish his assignments; I truly didn't even understand them. He looked at me straight and said, "I'll help you." 

Over the last several years, I've had the incredible opportunity to teach how to intentionally prepare a business and create publicity opportunities that allow visibility.

Through my guidance and strategies, students have gone on to appear on regional and national media platforms like Good Morning America & Entrepreneur. Plus, I make sure they have their business in order when their new audience comes to find out more (trust me, this matters more than the publicity itself!).
