Some people don’t like any their food to be touching. I, on the other hand, like to have all my food mixed together. Not sure what that says about my personality. 💛
It is so important to start your day out right with breakfast full of fats, protein, and carbohydrates. It really does set you up to have a better day. Starting your day with coffee and a bagel will just lead you to on a blood sugar roller coaster that never ends well.
Do you “hit a wall” between 2-4 pm? Do you wake up in the middle of the night? These are all signs of a blood sugar imbalance. While eating breakfast may not completely fix the problem, it is a start! In addition, working with a nutritional therapist can help you tweak your daily eating habits and find a happy balance.
Because most of us are so busy in the morning, I put together a bunch of helpful ideas for morning bowls, along with some topping inspiration. Keeping a big basket full of all your toppings is super helpful. You can mindlessly pour all this nutrient dense food on top of your base while sleepwalking.
