Croissant and coffee or egg sandwich with grapes and coffee. Which would you choose?
I was talking with a new client who has a croissant and coffee for breakfast at the office and afterwards she feels tired and struggles to focus. Her croissant and coffee make her feel sluggish because this breakfast lacks protein, fiber, and fat. If you want to make it through your mornings feeling energized and productive, the best way to do that is by including protein, fat, and fiber in your breakfast. This will ensure you feel full and give you enough energy to power through your morning. Don’t worry, meals and snacks during the workweek don’t need to be fancy or complicated in order to taste delicious and be satisfying.
Here’s how I helped my client make her breakfast more satisfying - We added @traderjoes frozen egg frittatas paired with a whole-grain English muffin and grapes which takes her about 5 minutes total to prep. She’s never felt more focused in the morning!
What’s your favorite carb and protein/fat breakfast combo that keeps you energized? Mine is definitely whole grain toast with mashed avocado, tomato slices, and lox. Let me know.
