During the week, when I am working full-time, as part of my morning routine, I start off by drinking a cup of orange juice and eating two Brazil nuts.  Then, I usually eat a Cliff Bar within an hour of that.  Within an hour and a half after that, I refuel with a breakfast sandwich.

The weekends are different.  I still start off with the orange juice and two Brazil nuts.  My need for orange juice in the morning as a wake-me-up is equivalent to other people’s necessity for coffee. My meals vary on the weekends.  Why?  Weekends are my times to loosen up from a super structure when it comes to eating.  I believe in eating healthy.  I just try to have a little bit more fun during this time.

One Saturday morning I made an Egg White with Asparagus Breakfast Sandwich.  Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

• Egg White
• Asparagus
• Ground Pepper
• Olive oil
• Bagel

Directions

• Cut the bagel in half and place in the oven to toast.
• Place five to eight asparagus stalks on a cookie sheet with olive oil and black pepper on a cookie sheet to roast in the oven.
• Put oil in a skillet and add the egg whites.  
• Once everything is ready, place ingredients on the bagel, sprinkle the egg whites with parsley, and enjoy!
• Optional:  Add cheese, mushrooms, or diced tomatoes to the egg whites.
