Don’t fall to pieces. Let your breakfast do that. When your morning meal is made with a crumbly cinnamon-sugar topping, it will either make its way into your mouth or to the bottom of your coffee mug. Both are perfectly acceptable. After all, cinnamon crumb cake only jives with java or milk. So pour yourself a glass, sit down with a good read and start your day with a cut of cake. Each serving is under 200 calories and offers nearly 7 grams of protein. With that kind of good eating, you’ll feel nothing but whole.
