Well, it\u2019s the truth!<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast gives you energy to power through a busy day. Although breakfast may indeed be the most important meal of the day, it can also be one of the toughest to prepare. Mornings are hectic, especially at 5 a.m. before practice. You set your alarm to the last possible minute so you can drag yourself out of bed and still make practice on time. Food does not cross your mind until you\u2019re halfway through practice. Then you\u2019re counting down the minutes so you can rush to the locker-room, change, and stuff your face with whatever kind of protein bar you have smashed at the bottom of your swim bag.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you get enough energy fuel you through a morning practice without waking up any earlier? There are so many easy and nutrient-rich breakfast recipes that can fuel your body so you can be your best in and out of the pool.<\/p>\n<p>Here are three basic breakfast recipes that will make you WANT to get out of bed at 5 a.m. for practice!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1.
