Top 5 Energy-Boosting Breakfast Foods

Do you feel like you’re sleesleepwalking through the first few hours of the day? Relying on coffee to get you through each hour? While we might be accustomed to feeling tired for the first few hours after waking up, this is largely a result of an unbalanced breakfast. An unbalanced breakfast is defined as a breakfast with high carbohydrates and sugar while having low amounts of protein and healthy fats. At its core, a balanced breakfast is high in protein and healthy fats and includes only natural sugars. These 5 breakfasts will allow you to feel energized in the morning and prevent an energy crash in the afternoon.

Yogurt, Fruit, and Granola

A simple yet delicious breakfast made with plain Greek yogurt, fresh berries, shredded coconut, and homemade honey granola. With a high protein base for fullness, the yogurt is then topped with vitamins and natural sugars to give you the boost you need to start your day. 

Veggie Packed Omlet

Wanting a fiber-packed way to eat eggs? A veggie omelet is a great source of vitamins and protein that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. Veggies such as mushrooms, peppers, spinach, and tomatoes are great additions to a classic omelet.

Chia Pudding 

When you’re in the mood for a breakfast that tastes like a dessert but gives you all the nutrients of a healthy breakfast- chia pudding is a great option. Chia pudding has a mouse-like texture made with milk/water and chia seeds. Chia is a great source of fiber and great for your digestive system. You can either make it at home by combining milk, chia seeds, and toppings of your choice or visit Mindfoods.com to find convenient packs that are ready to go. The adaptogenic properties of Mindfoods pudding will also help with energy and focus, making that third cup of coffee nonessential.

To add an extra kick to your smoothies, add Mindfoods Chia Pudding for its energizing properties. These smoothies are high in protein with natural fruit sugars that will give you the power to take on the day. Quick to eat with no mess, a protein smoothie is a lifesaver for us who tend to hit the snooze a few too many times before work.
