Most adult will tell you that breakfast is the most rushed time of the day. You have to get yourself, and your family fed and ready for the day. For convenience and time’s sake, you opt for quick and convenient meals to send everyone in their different directions. The food industry knows this, and they exploit this and provide families with easy ways out. In comes the toasted waffle to save the day.

Now that you are 40, you can’t take the easy way out any more. Toasted waffles are about as unhealthy as they come. It barely has any fiber and will give you a quick boost, but that is as far as it goes. You’ll also notice that you become hungry a lot quicker. There is a healthy alternative, however: Just take a banana or two, mash them up and beat in two or three eggs. Grate some cheese into the mix, and you have a balanced pancake or flapjack mixture.
