We’ve all heard that breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, and for good reason. From a quick, nutritious smoothie, to a delicious Sunday brunch, there is no denying that eating breakfast has tons of benefits. It jump-starts your metabolism, fuels your body and puts you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Now we all know how easy it is to hit the snooze button and skip breakfast, so the important thing is to find something that works for you and your morning routine.
