A Quick Fix, Healthy Breakfast!

It is seriously getting harder to get up out of bed these days. Sometimes, I'll feel energetic enough to make myself a big healthy breakfast, and sometimes, not. Today, I just wanted something fast and sweet (yeah I know), but still healthy at least! So I opted for this:

Nonfat Greek Yogurt & Blueberries, drizzled with Honey

 

So, I don't care much for the taste of Greek Yogurt, but the health benefits really convinced me to give it a try! Plus, it tastes really good with various fruits (I've tried bananas, blueberries, and strawberries), and I always top it off with honey! This literally took a minute to put together! And just for fun, here are some healthy facts!

Health Benefits of Greek Yogurt:

1. Good source of Protein! On average, one serving has about 13-20 grams of protein! 
2. It has about 50% less sodium!
3. It's low in carbohydrates! Greek yogurt has about 9 grams of carbs, compared to regular yogurt's 15-17 grams!
4. It's easier to digest because it has less lactose (the sugar found in dairy)!

These are just a few! Find the article here: The Health Benefits of Greek Yogurt!

  
Honey vs. Sugar:
There are many reasons as to why I prefer honey!

1. It's a natural sweetener!
2. It's an immune system booster! "It's antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties can help improve your digestive system and help you stay healthy and fight disease."
3. It's anti-cancer! (This is a plus for obvious reasons.) 
4. It can help with heartburn & morning sickness during pregnancy (Both things I've been a victim of)!
