Even though I consider myself a relatively healthy person, I like to fine tune my routine at the start of each new year. Whether that means adding a new fitness class to my schedule or tweaking "a soon to be stodgy" recipe, I welcome the newness of the new year.
This year I decided to kick off 2016 with a "breakfast bang" because of a recent article that I had read. In that article, I became aware that the average American sabotages his breakfast by ingesting too much sugar and not enough "good" fats and proteins. Since one of my "wake up - go to's" (a prepackaged granola bar) fit the "too much sugar not enough fat/protein" bill, I began preparing Avocado Chocolate Chia Puddings each night before bed. The pudding packs "good" fats from the avocado, protein from the chia seeds and ABSOLUTELY NO SUGAR* since I use Cacao powder instead of Cocoa powder.
Now on to a mid-day meal makeover....
*I limit the Maple Sugar that I use in order to keep the sugar level low.
