Breakfast on the go...

I am not promoting this, but it is something I keep in the back of my mind incase of an emergency!  Your breakfast should account for 20 to 25 percent of your total daily calories with a mix of protein, complex carbs and good fats to chase away those morning stomach growls.  These are the two of the most familiar places that can be found EVERYWHERE!  I have never been a big fan of the fast food craze and really could never get pass the smell of them, even before I started my journey to a healthier me! But, just in case you find yourself in a situation, like shopping, traveling or just on the go, here are 2 ideas!
