Our first goal is to live a healthier lifestyle with more activity and more home cooked meals. We're starting breakfast with some great products I've discovered recently. Both my husband and I don't really eat breakfast during the week, something I've learned isn't that healthy as you should be eating more than 200 calories for breakfast. My husband's solution was LeanPockets but I've convinced him to have fruit smoothie and english muffin.
We discovered Orrowheat's Double Fiber English Muffins while visiting my in-laws. They are filling, give us the extra fiber, and taste a bit sweet because of the wheat just at 120 calories per muffin. A spray or two of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray give it a perfect hint of butter with just 1 calorie per spray.

The blender is perfectly matched with Jamba Juice Smoothie Kits I found at Ralphs. For a 16oz smoothie at 120 calories, add 1 smoothie kit bag of frozen fruit and a cup of juice or milk in a travel cup and blend. It's that simple! If I can't finish the smoothie that morning, I save the travel cup in the fridge then add more frozen fruit to thicken it up the next morning. I also got a few Yoplait Smoothie mixes but I haven't tried them yet. Next thing I'm going to look for are smoothie boosts like Jamba Juice has in their shops to add protein to the morning smoothie mix.
All together that makes about 245 calories for a healthy breakfast of fruit and fiber!
