3 Quick, Healthy Breakfasts Way Better Than Lucky Charms
Sugary cereals may satisfy your sweet tooth for the time being, but will wreak havoc on your health in the long run. A few detrimental effects include a crash in your blood sugar levels which will leave you feeling low energy and hungrier than before.
Do yourself a favor and learn to make time for breakfast, it’s the most important meal of the day.
These meals are some of my go-to’s and work really well for clients who are on the go and living an active lifestyle.
Oat Bowls
Combine oats with your choice of milk, a healthy fat like nut butter, and some sliced fruit. You can even make it ahead in a mason jar and refrigerate overnight to grab and go in the morning.
2. Smoothies
Not hungry in the morning? Try making a smoothie with fresh fruit, a couple of handfuls of spinach plus protein, like a whey or vegan supplement, and some healthy fats. You won’t be craving those donuts your coworker brought in before lunch time!
3. Homemade Cereal
Quinoa is a complete protein because it provides all nine essential amino acids, which we can only get through the diet. It may seem counterintuitive to add this healthy whole grain to your breakfast routine, but trust me, it works. Batch cook quinoa at the beginning of the week so you can have a serving at breakfast, or whatever meal of the day. To make a quinoa berry bowl for brekkie, just add sliced fruit, milk and healthy fat of your choice plus cinnamon for taste and a boost of anti inflammatories. Enjoy!
