Balanced Breakfast Idea
- Toast w/ nut butter = carb (fiber) + fat
- Fruit = fiber
- Eggs w/ veggies = protein + fiber
Enjoying a balanced breakfast is a great way to start your day and provide these benefits including…
1️⃣ Keep you feeling full for longer + energized throughout the morning
2️⃣ Stabilize your blood sugar and prevent energy crashes and cravings later in the day
3️⃣ Enhance cognitive performance, including memory and focus
