The Ultimate Power Breakfast

Thanks to Carey at McCallum Printing (an ultra-athlete if I've ever met one), I just got my hands on a simple breakfast recipe with 8 power foods that will not only fill you up for hours but will give you the energy you need for your next intense workout session. It's also delicious!
