Breakfast is the ultimate power move to start your day. Skipping it can send your blood sugar on a wild rollercoaster after night fasting. Therefore, balance is the key. Load up on carbs, proteins, fats, and vitamins to fuel your morning hustle. Here are four food options to get you going!
1. Eggs
Eggs are well-known as complete foods. Boiled eggs are the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast for many people. The whites are a protein powerhouse, while the yolks are packed with good fats (31%), protein (17%), and minerals (2%). Plus, they’re loaded with vitamin A, which is good for eye health.
If you have a minute, elevate your scramble with cherry tomatoes. When heated, tomatoes’ lycopene becomes a superhero, fighting off heart disease and prostate cancer.
2. Yogurt
Yogurt is a source of protein that is easier to digest than milk. It is also packed with probiotics that keep your tummy happy and slow aging. Before digging in, sip water to protect those sensitive probiotics from stomach acid.
Greek yogurt has 1.5 times more protein than regular yogurt and less sodium and sugar. With a billion probiotics per gram, it’s like a spa day for your muscles, bones, immune system, and intestinal health.
3. Green vegetables
Green veggies like cabbage are suitable for your stomach lining and various vitamins, especially vitamin C. They’re especially great for that morning vitamin C boost we all need.
Green vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which promotes intestinal health and bowel movements. Eating vegetables and eggs together gives a feeling of fullness and prevents overeating at lunch, which helps with weight control.
4. Whole grain rice and whole wheat bread
Whole grains and whole wheat bread are your go-to energy source for office workers and students.
Whole-grain rice wrapped in seaweed is the perfect on-the-go snack. Whole wheat bread balances blood sugar and keeps your heart healthy.
