As we all know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gives your fuel and nutrients to keep you going. Making sure you eat the correct foods in the morning is really important, as eating a breakfast high in refined carbs can actually take away your energy. You want to make sure you are eating foods that keep your blood sugar balanced so you don’t experience spikes and crashes. Here are the four foods to eat to balance your blood sugar.
Greek Yogurt
Plain greek yogurt is a great source of protein and has lots of probiotics to keep you full. Try and stick to the ones without sugar and add your own fruit if you need some more flavor and sweetness.
Avocados
Avocado is a source of healthy fats and fiber, which keep you full for long periods of time, especially if it is eaten with a source of protein.
Oats
Oats have a high amount of fiber in them to help manage your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. You can eat them in many ways—granola, baked oatmeal, or oatmeal with some fruit and nuts on top.
Chia Seeds
Chia seeds can absorb 10 times their weight in water, which helps to slow down digestion and fill you up for longer. They are a source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Sprinkle them on your yogurt or make some overnight chia pudding for a delicious breakfast.
