    Breakfast


    To help sustain energy levels as well as blood sugar levels throughout the morning, eat foods that are low in fat & high in energy-building complex carbohydrates, such as cereals & baked goods made from whole wheat, buckwheat, barley, & brown rice.

    In addition, these foods offer B vitamins & folate, which help promote mental alertness. Such stimulating spices as cinnamon & ginger can be invigorating to a sluggish mind & sluggish digestion as well -- add cinnamon to your morning oatmeal; add a slice of fresh ginger to your steeping morning tea.

    You may also wish to try these two recipes:

    Ginger-Carrot Breakfast Cookies
    1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
    1 1/2 cups rolled oats
    1 cup grated carrot
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    pinch sea salt
    2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger, including juice
    2 egg whites
    2/3 cup lowfat soy milk, or skim milk

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Preheat the oven to 375

    In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, carrot, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. In a second bowl, combine the ginger, egg, soy milk, oil, and barley malt, using a hand mixer to combine well.

    Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry, using a large rubber spatula to combine well.

    For the best texture, don't overmix; about 15 strokes should do.

    Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, then drop on the batter, using about 2 rounded tbsp for each cookie. Bake in the middle of the oven until cooked through, about 25 minutes.

    Yield: 12
