How a Simple Kitchen Appliance Can Improve Your Eating Habits

By Jon Herring

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It helps set your metabolism in motion. In fact, numerous studies have shown that people are far more successful at losing excess weight when they start the day with a protein-rich meal rather than skipping breakfast.

If you find yourself skipping breakfast often because you "just don’t have the time," I have a solution for you. Buy a Magic Bullet blender and use it to make protein shakes and smoothies in the morning. This device is compact, extremely easy to clean, and the best part is that you can blend the ingredients right in the container you drink out of. It is extremely convenient.

Here is what I do. Several mornings each week, I mix about eight ounces of water or milk with a scoop of Jay Robb’s Whey Protein Powder or Mercola’s Whey Healthier. Both of these products taste great, and they don’t contain any sugar or artificial sweeteners. To this, I might add any number of things… frozen organic berries, an egg, a spoonful of peanut butter, super-greens powder (a protein-rich green wholefood that includes spirulina, chlorella, barley grass, and wheat grass), half a banana, or powdered cocoa… depending on what I feel like.

The entire process takes less than five minutes, and I’m out the door with a tasty shake that keeps me satisfied and mentally sharp all morning.
