Breakfast

simple eggs

For so long we were lead to believe that eggs weren’t good for our heart health, however current research suggests that consuming eggs regularly actually helps to lower LDL cholesterol, they offer plenty of health benefits and essential nutrients worth incorporating into your diet and those far outweigh the nutritional content of processed alternative “breakfast foods”

using leftovers

Think about why we’ve labeled what are the breakfast foods. Marketing, habits, monkey see monkey do, tradition, culture? Breakfast can be anything! And we’ve all been told at some point that it’s the most important meal of the day! Using up left overs, cooked protein, veggies and whole grains can give your breakfast a huge nutritional boost and you’re more likely to crowd out the unnecessary refined carbs.

Little bit of evening prep

Carbs from whole grains can still be a great start to the day when balanced with the other macronutrients, proteins and fats.

Thinking ahead and taking a few minutes to soak, steam or cook some whole grains like oats, quinoa, brown or wild rice can be game changing when throwing together a wholesome balanced breakfast to start your day.
