5 Blood Sugar-Friendly Breakfasts🙌🏻💉🍳
✅Greek yogurt or a high-protein lower-sugar yogurt like . Choose something unsweetened or lightly sweetened. Add nuts, seeds, berries and cinnamon. Super convenient and high in protein. This is a great options for those who like a sweeter breakfast!
✅Chia pudding. Add oats, h**p, flax, fruit, nut butter. You can make these the night before to make it easy to grab in the morning. Chia is very high in fiber, and it’s also a good source of healthy fats, making it a very blood-sugar friendly addition to any meal. If you’re more of an oatmeal person, try adding chia to your oats for less of a sugar spike.
✅Lower-carb smoothie. You can make your more smoothie blood sugar-friendly by adding non-starchy veggies (spinach, kale, cauliflower), fat (nut butter, avocado, coconut milk, whole milk Greek yogurt), protein (Greek yogurt, collagen, protein powder), and keeping fruit to ~1/2-1 cup (depends on your tolerance and the type of fruit).
✅Eggs. Egg is such a nutrient-dense, highly biologically available, and satisfying protein. Have them with some avocado, veggies, and berries for a super balanced start to the day.
✅Toast. Yes, you can create a blood sugar-friendly breakfast with bread! Choose a bread with higher fiber and protein content (something like an Ezekiel or paleo bread) and add fat, protein, and fiber. An example would be paleo toast with peanut butter, chia seeds, and blueberries. Or try a piece of Ezekiel toast with avocado, tomato, and smoked salmon. Yum!
Also, try and think outside of the breakfast box! An Israeli salad (cucumber, tomato, greens) topped with hard boiled eggs and hummus makes for a delicious breakfast! Cheese with fruit also makes for a light balanced breakfast. Re-think what you usually consider a “breakfast food” by adding in more savory items 👌🏻
