Breakfast tip #6: Small whole grain muffin, carton of yogurt, carton of 100% orange juice.
Health Benefits:
- Whole grains are naturally rich in selenium, a mineral that thwarts cell damage and promotes a healthy immune system.
- In addition to protein, yogurt is a source of zinc, necessary for producing DNA, the blueprint for every cell in your body, among dozens of other functions.
- The vitamin C in orange juice keeps blood vessels strong and resilient.

Ohh that sounds like a REALLY tasty breakfast!
I absolutely love muffins!
Oooo… I have to say that I have always loved all the Hodgson Mill products that I’ve tried. I really like their items and highly recommend them if you’re looking for an organic/natural brand that appears to be trustworthy and worth the higher price. (And, no, I’m not getting paid to say this, though I wish I were! ha ha!)
