Break The Fast

You may have heard the saying, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” and that statement may very well be true. I’ll take the previous statement a little further and say consistently eating a smart breakfast is vital to performance success.  When you get up in the morning, your body has not taken in fuel for a long period of time.  By eating as soon as possible after you wake up, it allows your body to attain the fuel it needs to jump start your engine, think clearly, regulate blood sugar, and replenish muscle and liver glycogen that may have depleted during rest. By consistently eating and replenishing our bodies, we set ourselves up to perform at an optimum level.  At TCF, we constantly stress the importance of recovering and replenishing your body with quality foods. 

Here are a few TCF recipes that make for a quality breakfast.
