One really great thing about eating a plant-based diet is that if you eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet, you don’t have to worry about your calorie intake. You’ll be able to eat plenty of different unprocessed foods without being concerned that you’re getting too many calories. One concern people often have is will I be hungry on a plant-based diet? Not if you eat enough of the right foods. That means starting your day off with a healthy and hearty meal. You don’t have to turn to bacon and eggs to get a filling and satisfying breakfast.

When do you add cinnamon?
I add the cinnamon at the end but really you can add it at any time.
