You had WHAT for breakfast ?!?!

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that you are what you eat .... so what did you have this morning?

I tend to eat a lot at breakfast *blush* as I simply LOVE breakfast foods. Today, I had a pancake (glutenfree)* with peanut butter and homemade apple butter*, a banana and a strawberry flavor o'soy yogurt a few hours later - mmmmm mmm -- all organic/natural and all DELICIOUS!

I was discussing this very thing with a friend of mine the other day and was floored at what she and her family ate for breakfast... it was a bit disgusting to me actually. LOL - but to each his own ! I love her dearly and am not judging her for her breakfast choices, but was a bit taken aback really as she is a very healthy person. She tells me they have no time for breaky and so grab whatever is available.. this particular morning it was powdered doughnuts - for breakfast!! I guess I always thought of them as a snack, not a meal. She told me I didn't know what I was missing and that they are to DIE for. So, I just had to look online to see what these KrispyKreme doughnuts were all about...

I was amazed that the amount of sugar (carbs), fat, salt and calories one of these things contains:

calories (kcal)	260
carbohydrates (g)	33
fiber (g)	0
protein (g)	3
fat (g)	13
calories from fat (%)	45
saturated fat (g)	3
cholesterol (mg)	20
sodium (mg)	320
total weight (g)	66

Of course the sugar is not mentioned here, nor the ingredients as I can only imagine why. (Yep, I guess she is right, they are to "DIE for" - yikes!) I am always surprised by the culture we live in, where we no longer care about what foods do to us as long as it tastes good. Surprisingly, I find that the good ol' natural food tastes better, but I may just be an odd duck in a huge pond.

Anyway, after talking with my friend, I thought I would satisfy my curiosity and see what you all think... What did you have and why?



Oh P.S.  After our little chat, I am currently making my friend some good breakfast bars that she can take on the run and some other instant breakfast recipes and ideas -  She loves it :-)
