Shaking up your morning breakfast can be just the thing to get you motivated to be healthier each day. Numerous studies show that a nutritious breakfast provides many benefits, along with tasting great. Enjoying a nutritious breakfast each morning can help with brain function and memory, as well as preventing tiredness and overeating as the day continues. According to Mayo Clinic, adults who eat breakfast are likely to consume more vitamins and minerals while consuming less fats and cholesterol.
You can start improving your breakfast by planning a well-rounded meal. Make sure you incorporate whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy, fruits, and vegetables. This will leave you with a nutrient dense meal that will keep you focused and full until lunch. Experimenting with new flavors can be a great way to avoid boredom and try new foods. One such way this can be done is by swapping out your typical grain with sorghum. Sorghum is a highly versatile ingredient that is naturally high in fiber, iron, and protein while still being delicious.
If your mornings prevent you from eating a healthy breakfast, or any breakfast at all, find a solution that can work for you and your family. A great strategy you can use is meal prepping your breakfasts and leaving them in the fridge. Prepare foods that you can quickly assemble and eat in the morning, so you still get all of the great benefits of eating breakfast without the constraint of time.
