Are you a morning person? Well, if you’re not, you are literally part of the majority. In a survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 67% of adults in the US admitted that they are not morning persons. Thus, if you’re having challenges getting out of bed early in the morning, don’t worry, a lot of people can relate! That is why preparing a quick and easy breakfast is crucial to help you and your family kickstart your day.
Why You Should Prepare a Quick and Easy Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it determines how your day will go. One of the most important nutrients that we need is protein. A high-protein breakfast not only helps you feel full longer, but it will also keep your blood sugar low. It doesn’t give you the effect when consuming refined carbs that makes your blood surge and crash afterwards — making you feel tired and sluggish.
Here’s a quick and easy breakfast idea that will be ready in less than an hour. It takes only 10 minutes to prepare so you can just let it cook in the oven while you enjoy your cup of coffee or help the kids prep for school. What’s great about this recipe is you can prepare them ahead of time, refrigerate then just reheat for later. You can even have this any time of the day.

How much kale? Not listed in your ingredients. It just says to add the kale to the mixture. Sounds so yummy and I wanted to give it a try.
