The Most Important Meal!

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. 

Not only does it give you energy to start a new day, but breakfast is linked to many health benefits, including weight control and improved performance. 

Studies show that eating a healthy breakfast (as opposed to the kind containing doughnuts) can help give you:

• A more nutritionally complete diet, higher in nutrients, vitamins and minerals
• Improved concentration and performance in the classroom or the boardroom
• More strength and endurance to engage in physical activity
• Lower cholesterol levels

Eating breakfast is important for everyone, but is especially so for children and adolescents. According to the American Dietetic Association, children who eat breakfast perform better in the classroom and on the playground, with better concentration, problem-solving skills, and eye-hand coordination.

Shrimp and Avocado Ceviche Dream Boats

Makes 40 Endive Boats:

1 lb cooked medium shrimp, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

1 small cucumber, halved, seeded, and finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1–2 lemons)

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)

1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped

1 Tbsp chilli powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

4 large endive, separated into leaves (you should have about 40 total)

1 semi-ripe Hass avocado, finely chopped

1. Place the chopped shrimp in a large glass or plastic bowl (metal can react with the citrus juices). Add the bell pepper, onion, and cucumber, and stir together. Add the lemon and lime juices, 1/2 cup of the cilantro, the chilli powder, and salt, and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes.

2. Set the endive spears on a work surface. Gently stir the avocado into the ceviche. Fill each endive spear with 1 Tbsp of the mixture. Place the endive boats on a platter, sprinkle with the remaining 2 Tbsp cilantro, and serve.
