Health & Lifestyle: Healthy Fast Breakfast Ideas.

Hello there!

Today I will be showing you healthy delicious fast breakfast ideas!

Studies show that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it is very important for everyone to eat it. Usually the have to be light so the stomach doesn't feek heavy, but they must contain energy and protein so you can have a better day emotionally and physically.

Here are a few ideas to have nutritious morning meals you can eat while driving, walking, or sprinting out the door!

Fruit and Cheese

A balanced, easy-to-assemble make-ahead morning meal: Grab an apple, wrap 1 to 2 ounces of Cheddar in plastic, and toss ¼ cup of fiber- and protein-rich walnuts into a resealable plastic bag.

Peanut Butter Waffle

Instead of dousing a whole-grain or bran toaster waffle in syrup, cut the sugar and boost the protein and fiber by spreading it with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. You can also sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of raisins, sesame seeds, or extra peanuts for even more fiber, which helps deliver the meal's nutrients slowly and steadily.

Plain Doughnut With Chocolate Milk

A plain cake-style doughnut is usually a better choice than a bakery muffin. At Dunkin' Donuts, for instance, an old-fashioned doughnut has 280 calories, while a corn muffin has 510 calories. Add fiber by eating ¼ cup of almonds or dried fruit. Instead of coffee, try 8 ounces of low-fat chocolate milk.

Morning Pizza

Try a sophisticated spin: Take a slice of crusty bread, spread it with 3 tablespoons of low-fat ricotta, and add tomatoes. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil (about 1 teaspoon) and a little salt and pepper.

Energy Bars

To substitute for a meal, an energy bar should have at least 3 to 5 grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein. Odwalla, Kashi GoLean, and TruSoy are all good options. Because cereal bars rarely have more than 2 grams of protein.

Egg McMuffin

Yes, you read that right. If you must eat fast food in the morning, get an Egg McMuffin at McDonald's. At 300 calories, it's not an outrageous meal. Plus it has a good amount of lean protein from the egg and the Canadian bacon. To trim empty calories, remove the top half of the muffin. For additional fiber, add a fresh orange.

Cereal "Sundae"

A bowl of fiber-rich bran flakes (about 1½ cups) with 8 ounces of low-fat milk is nearly the perfect breakfast. Make it portable by replacing the milk with lemon or vanilla yogurt and mixing it in a to-go container. Increase the fiber and vitamins by adding ¼ cup of nuts or fresh or dried fruit, such as chopped pecans or blueberries.

Huevos Rancheros

One of the most portable proteins is a hard-cooked egg, but it has no fiber or carbohydrates. So slice it, then roll it in an 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla with a piece of Martadila, if you like, a ½-ounce slice of cheese. Add a tablespoon of salsa for a shot of flavor and a smidgen of vitamin C.

Have a good day!

Product I've Been Loving: St. Ives Apricot Scrub

Follow @FtoonTBlog

Hello, gorgeous!

Today I will be talking to you about a prodcut that I've been using for two months now and I really love it!

I'm not big on scrubs becuse my skin is sensitive and it reacts badly with anything strong, but I decided to try St. Ives scrub because I've read many good things about it and it exfoliates lightly! So I tried it and it turned out to be amazing! It's so delicate on my skin and it clears it out and removes any oil on T-zone, it gives your skin a lovely soft feel to it. The thing is it doesn't exfoliate at all, and that's why I liked it, I don't want any exfoliation but it does brighten your skin slightly.

As you can see it is oil free so it is perfect for those who have oily skin. I believe it would work with those who have acne because it is light and it wouldn't damage the skin.

As you can see it has 3 different beads in it that help with cleansing your skin and clearing your pores! It also smells good and refreshing.

I honestly would give this product 9.5 out of 10 because it really suits my skin type which is; combination.

Have a good day

Health & Lifestyle: Five Healthy Delicious Smoothies.

Follow @FtoonTBlog

Hello lovelies!

So recently, I started trying to be healthy. I wanted to try at least to become healthier and not entirely healthy, instead of eating lots of junk food and unhealthy snacks!

Healthy food is NOT disgusting and not delicious! It is the opposite.

To become healthy you need to figure out the vegtables, fruits, nuts, etc... that suit you and your cravings. Which is the only hard part of it all, after that you'll start maintaining a wonderful healthy style that will keep your whole entire body healthy, fit, & in a great shape.

And by healthy I don't mean "Skinny", being skinny doesn't mean being healthy, & being plus sized doesn't mean unhealthy.

So to encourage you all and myself to become healthier I thought I should start with smoothies! Since they're drinks and not a meal it will be easier to start with them.

Here are five healthy delicious smoothies!
