Whole wheat toast with Peanut Butter and Hard boiled Egg

Whole wheat toast with Peanut Butter and Hard boiled Egg

As the name implies, this breakfast is pretty simple, yet nutritious. Simply select your favorite bread (make sure the first ingredient is 100% whole grains), toast it, add 1 tablespoon of Non Hydrogenated Peanut Butter. How do you know if your peanut butter is "non-hydrogenated?" Look at the ingredient list. If "partially hydrogenated" is an ingredient, I do not suggest you eat this brand. Why? Food items that contain "partially hydrogenated" ingredients have trans fat. Trans fat will increase and contribute to "bad" cholesterol levels in the blood. I love Adam's all natural peanut butter, which is trans fat free!
