A balanced breakfast typically includes protein, fiber, and produce. If you’re looking to build a healthy morning meal, try easy options like eggs, whole wheat toast with toppings, nuts, and green tea. Not only do I think that everything from eggs to pancakes is completely worth waking up for but making time for a morning meal really sets the tone for our entire day.
Smoothies are some of the best breakfast recipes, as they pack a big serving of fruits and veggies into your first meal of the day. Through years of making smoothies, I’ve found that a handful of spinach is almost undetectable, so toss some in to boost the nutrients in a fruit smoothie! Alternatively, blend in a superfood like hemp seeds, nut butter, matcha, or maca powder for an extra healthy kick.
Eggs make a simple, nutritious breakfast choice. They’re an excellent source of protein, which helps support muscle synthesis. Since protein takes a while to digest, it also helps keep you feeling full.
People given eggs and toast for breakfast reported significantly less hunger than those given bran cereal, suggesting that the egg group’s higher protein intake. Additionally, egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants help prevent eye disorders like cataracts and macular degeneration, Eggs are also one of the best sources of choline, a vital nutrient for brain and liver health.
