How many tons of ink have been spilled throughout international bibliography to highlight the importance of breakfast in our diet? Yet still, some of us keep doing the mistake to begin our day with just a mug of coffee! I am no exception to the rule – there are plenty of times I catch myself leaving my place without having a proper breakfast, ending up in junk food choices for the rest of the day!
For this reason, in collaboration with Fytro, I propose to you 3 different recipes that you may have them prepared from the day before – it’s saving time! We all know very well how important are these 5 more minutes of sleeping-time!
