The breakfast is the most important daily meal, so it should be rich in protein, fiber, and fat, in order to keep you full, energetic, and help you control your body weight/
Therefore, forget about the bagels, cereals, and toasts, high in refined carbohydrates, and low in nutrients and fiber, and start consuming some of the following healthy options:
- Eggs
Enjoy eggs in all forms, make an omelet, boil them, or add some herbs and veggies to the scramble, or prepare an omelet on top of cooked quinoa and sautéed greens.
- Green protein smoothie
This is a delicious portable breakfast. Just mix protein and some greens, and enrich the flavor with oats, seeds, nuts, etc.
