I think that this is the best way to start ones day, nothing better than fresh fruit, even one its own or with a bowl of cereal and yoghurt, or in smoothie.

I strongly agree with the author of this post. I still remember eating fresh fruits for breakfast when I was still in our province. That is what my grandma was doing there together with my relatives during breakfast. I think I need to practice this too in here. Great tips!
