Bananas for Breakfast

It is a gorgeous day and the end of another gorgeous week!  Do we live in Michigan or in paradise?!  I hope that everyone is relaxing and enjoying their Sunday - as well as knocking out your daily push-ups and planks!  That being said, I'd like to add another challenge to the board: bananas for breakfast.  Whether you currently have a set meal each morning, don't eat at all, or grab whatever is in sight - make a banana part of your morning.  Add it to your cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, or have it in the car after you've eaten your eggs.  Fresh fruit is a great beginning to your day and a plentiful source of energy (and potassium in the case of bananas!).  Not a banana fan?  Substitute an apple or a pear!  The main point is to add fresh and unprocessed calories to your diet, bite by bite.
