You have all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I’m not going to tell you any different–except that a good breakfast doesn’t have to take much to make. Lately, mornings have been super busy and it seems I keep waking up later and later so I’m addicted to belVita Breakfast Biscuits. My recipe for a good day starts with coffee, belVita, and fresh fruit. 
Recipe for a Good Day
To Start:
Always start with a good breakfast. I love belVita Breakfast Biscuits because they require no dishes, give me 4 hours of energy, and come in flavors like chocolate. Yeah, chocolate for breakfast. Because they are full of whole grains, the energy that’s packed into every bite is released throughout my morning nice and steady so I’m set until lunch time. 
Coffee is essential for me for that initial jolt–and just because I love the flavor–and mornings just aren’t the same without it. Feed the beast or suffer the consequences. 
Always use a fun coffee mug to assure you win the morning.
You should also incorporate some exercise into your morning recipe for a good day. Even if it’s just a quick 15 minute circuit of jumping around, do something that gets your blood flowing. You’ll have more energy, a clearer/focused mind, and kick start your metabolism for the day. Then, shower and dress to impress yourself. If you feel like you look great, everything you do will reflect that. 
Get It.
Whatever ‘it’ is, set your mind to accomplish a day’s worth of greatness and do it. Roll with it. If things keep working against you, just push harder. Attitude is everything. 
To Finish:
A great start needs a great finish. To complete this recipe for a good day, you owe it to yourself to do one little thing to pamper yourself. Give yourself a mini facial and read a book. Have some herbal tea. Try a new lotion for your face or hands. Then get to bed at a time that allows you a full night of rest. 
If you can do this everyday, you’ll be unstoppable. So, head on over to Meijer and stock up on belVita Breakfast Biscuits. You can find them in the cookie and cracker aisle. They come in crunchy, bites, and soft baked varieties in almost a dozen flavors. If you head on over to Meijer on 1/23/2016 (8:00-2:00) you’ll catch an awesome belVita sampling event! That’s a belVita Morning Win!

So what is the octopus doing in your coffee cup? At least it looks like one.
Shelley says
LOL he represents the beast that I have to feed in the morning. 🙂

Next time I head to the grocery store I will have to look for the BelVita Chocolate bites. I love when I can eat healthy but still have my chocolate. Loved the octopus in the cup, how did you make it?
Shelley says
Isn’t he great?! I got him here: https://amzn.to/1mEkP3w (affiliate link) 🙂
They have a variety of creatures to chose from!

I always feel my best when I get in a good breakfast. Strong coffee, sunshine and good music definitely part of my recipe for a good day.
Scott says
I love that cup. I’ve seen a couple that have hidden surprises in them, but never an octopus!
Dawn Lopez says
Getting something done on my “to do” list right after breakfast starts my day off great. Even if nothing else gets done for the rest of the day, at least one thing was completed. Total win! I like the BelVita products. They are great to grab and go!
Chrysa says
I love the mini chocolate Bel-Vita. They are so tasty! They are also great for breakfast on the run.
Aubrey says
I don’t normally eat breakfast. Maybe I would more if I had yummy easy things like these.

That sounds like a great way to start off your day! Coffee is definitely an essential part of my morning routine too!
Amy Desrosiers says
That is one heck of a cup! I have tried these before and they were so tasty!
