Eating breakfast is like saving for retirement. We all know it should be a top priority, but it always seems like starting tomorrow is a better idea. Yet, study after study shows that people who make time for an early meal are much more likely to maintain a healthy body weight. Plus, eating breakfast can improve focus, energy levels and reduce homicidal tendencies.

Lucky for all of us, there are some breakfast ideas that are so easy, delicious and nutritious that they are capable of helping us to overcome the very strong forces of morning inertia.

The morning breakfast pie is just such an option. It consists of toasted bread (preferably whole grain), nut butter (peanut or almond work great) and sliced fresh fruit. My favorites are apples, strawberries and blue berries.

The morning breakfast pie has everything you need to start your day out right. The bread offers complex carbohydrates for energy and fiber. The nut butter has a bit of protein to keep you feeling satisfied and a tad of healthy fats. The fruit offers just the right bit of sweetness, vitamins, even more fiber and a head start on your five-a-day.The morning breakfast pie takes less than two minutes to make and is a great investment in the rest of your day.

Make one today for a happier, leaner and more productive tomorrow!
