It’s the little things in life that matters most; it’s all in the details. Rather than trying to make big leaps or changes try making one or two small ones. You’ll find that when you take the time to conquer the small things they become habitual rather easily. So for today let’s start with breakfast, whether you eat it or not. We’re going to keep things simple and leave creativity for another day.

My motto is, “Abs are made in the kitchen”. If you really want to see those abs you have to seriously change what you put in your mouth. Skipping meals is not the answer and especially not breakfast. By eating breakfast every morning you are jump starting your metabolism. Even if you don’t like to eat in the morning, at least try to eat a couple bites and make sure to drink lots of water.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been eating the same two breakfasts, either eggs with fresh spinach, pico de gallo and avocado OR a green smoothie. I used to eat a breakfast full of heavy carbs, but I found that it just left me sluggish throughout the day. For the days when I want a sweeter breakfast I’ll go with the smoothie.

Here’s how to prepare both breakfasts:

For the eggs I spray a pan with organic olive oil and “fry” two eggs over easy, but you can also scramble them if you’d like. I season them with a pinch of sea salt and a salt free seasoning from Trader Joe’s called 21 Season Salute. Once cooked I place on top of fresh baby spinach, pico de gallo and 1/4 avocado. For those who say they don’t have time to cook in the morning, this literally take 5 minutes.

For the green smoothie I blend one small banana, a handful of spinach, kale, 1/4″ piece of ginger, small handful of either grapes, blueberries or figs, 1/4 avocado, 1/2 Persian cucumber, 1 scoop of stevia extract, a couple dashes of cinnamon, ice and 1/4 cup water. You can put whatever type of fruit you want, but make sure you add at least two different types of greens. Other greens that work well are green collard and dandelion greens. Experiment and find what you like.

Besides changing your breakfast up, make sure you drink at least 2 liters of water a day, especially if it is hot outside and/or you exercise.
