TODAY on MHTV: Some mornings you just know you’re going to need an extra boost to make it through ’til lunchtime – without overloading on anything too sugary. A bagel smeared with yogurt spread (skip the fatty cream cheese) and topped with tomato, onion, and lettuce will do the trick. For a late morning snack or small breakfast on the go, pack up my protein packed nutty date muffins – a treat your coworkers or carpool will also love. If you prefer to sip on the go, perk up with my not-too-sweet papaya-ginger smoothie.
