It's true that breakfast (or break-fast, if you're following Intermittent Fasting) is the most important meal of the day. Your first meal can either set you up for success with your weight loss and wellness goals OR completely derail your progress.
To support weight loss goals, a breakfast should be high in protein and low in sugar. This combination helps to support stable blood sugar levels, shut off hunger and reduce sugar cravings. Plus, getting adequate protein throughout the day is required to help the body burn fat while maintaining muscle mass (and therefore your metabolism).(1)
Today, I'm sharing 12 easy (and delish!) breakfast recipes that are high in protein and low in sugar to help support a weight loss goal.
Summer Detox Chia Pudding
Chia seeds are loaded with fiber to help boost satiety and prevent hunger. Not a fan of chia seeds? Try swapping them for edible basil seeds instead.
