What's For Breakfast? 10 Simple Morning Meals

It's no secret that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You should eat within an hour upon waking (I wake up and hit the kitchen right away). Some people aren't hungry in the morning, but that just means you ate too much food too late. Your body has gone at least 7 hours without food, and you need to eat to get your metabolism going in the A.M.
Here are some breakfast tips that start off the morning right and balanced! Make sure to eat your fruit in the morning rather than the evening (spikes your blood sugar). Also it is IMPORTANT to eat protein starting off your day, also add in some healthy fats and complex carbohydrates to get you going!
