You’ve heard the adage, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Whether you like a traditional sit-down breakfast or grab and go, you can give your immune system a boost at breakfast time.

Here’s my personal recipe for an immune health-friendly breakfast. It offers the perfect blend of proteins, fats and carbohydrates and is packed with natural immunity boosters.

The recipe is large enough for your family to enjoy. Prep all of the ingredients the night before so you can quickly blend and pour in the morning. The recipe works using fresh or frozen fruit.

Ingredients
1 pomegranate – just scoop out the seeds and remove the flesh. Pomegranate is in season when flu season is at its peak – how perfect!
1 cup blueberries
2 kiwi
1 cup strawberries or papaya
1 banana
1-2 cups greek-style yogurt
¼ cup wheat germ
¼ cup figs, dates or raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup fresh-ground flaxseed
1 cup kale
3 cups liquid – whether milk, soy milk, vegetable or fruit juices or your favorite beverage containing Wellmune WGP

For extra energy add 1-2 tablespoons of peanut better or tofu. And remember, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
