Chef Rebecca Lang Recommends Roman Meal Whole Grain Bread
A good breakfast satisfies you until lunch. A better breakfast prepares you to conquer the day! September is Better Breakfast Month, which is all about making breakfast a priority. Rebecca Lang, author of five cookbooks, is an advocate for starting the day with a healthy, tasty breakfast.
“It’s important to start your day with nutritious foods,” said Lang. “But you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for nutrition. There are plenty of quick and delicious recipes that will have you looking forward to breakfast!”
According to Lang, the building blocks of a better breakfast are:
Protein: Foods high in protein like eggs, nuts and meats help you feel full faster. This can help control overeating.
Complex carbohydrates: Make your breakfast with whole grain bread instead of white bread and you will feel full longer. Lang suggests Roman Meal whole grain bread. Most varieties contain at least 21 grams of whole grains per serving, which is almost half of the recommended daily value.
Fruits and vegetables: Experts recommend anywhere from 5-13 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Start your day off right by incorporating fruits and vegetables in your breakfast and you willl be more likely to eat them throughout the day.
Local ingredients: Buying local is better for the environment and usually tastes better. Roman Meal bread is always baked fresh, locally by regional bakers across the country.
“The Roman Meal website has great recipes that incorporate all of my better breakfast building blocks,” Lang shared. “My kids can’t get enough of the Whole Grain French Toast and Tropical Fruit Kabobs. I love to make the Whole Grain Florentine Egg Cups whenever I host a brunch.”
