Rise and Dine
You can find the top 10 on-the-go breakfast grabs on page 30 of this Balance issue. The Egg Scramble suggestion is quick and convenient, not to mention it uses fewer dishes than your typical scrambled egg entrée – less cleanup time is always a plus! “Beat 2 protein-rich eggs and 1 tbsp. milk in a mug. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until done.” Pair with a piece of fruit and you’ve got a complete meal. It’s as easy as that to start your day the healthy way.

Get Active, 2. Control Cholesterol, 3. Eat Healthy, 4. Manage Blood Pressure, 5. Lose Weight, 6. Reduce Blood Sugar, 7. Stop Smoking.”

Foods that Cut Carbs with Cauliflower
Low carb diets have been trending for quite some time now. You’ve likely noticed there is a cauliflower replacement for many high starch, high-carbohydrate foods such as bread, rice, and potatoes. While it is not necessary or recommended to avoid carbohydrates for good health, increasing your cauliflower intake means you’re likely getting more fiber throughout the day, something the average individual struggles with. On page 56, you’ll find this delicious recipe for Cauliflower Crust Pizza.
