You heard the cliche phrase by now, right? That breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

And if you’re trying to lose weight believe it or not eating a healthy one can help. Why is that you ask?

Well, research shows people who eat breakfast weigh less than those who skip it. This may be because people who skip breakfast tend to overcompensate throughout the day by eating large portions of food. And perhaps hormones, metabolic differences, and appetite play a role in it as well.

And even if weight loss isn’t your goal, eating breakfast is still a healthy good idea.

But how many people actually eat breakfast?

Well, I can tell you about 31 million Americans don’t…that’s a lot! That results in 1 out of every 10 people that skip breakfast.

So are you the 1 out of 10 that skips breakfast? Or is it your kids or spouse?

What’s the problem? Maybe it’s convenience, maybe it’s choices….

What if I told you that you could have dessert for breakfast? Would you, your kids, or spouse eat it then? Because who can turn down dessert for breakfast?

You wouldn’t be doing your body any favors by cramming junk into it, which is why I gathered some healthier ways to have dessert for breakfast….22 recipes to be exact.
