With the Fall season comes the feeling that life gets back into more of a “routine” again, and even though it hasn’t been a typical year, people are looking for ways to bring a healthy balance to their lives when so much is uncertain. Starting your day off on the right foot with a healthy breakfast is one way to maintain a healthy balance and increase your chances of having a great day!
A healthy breakfast should be high in protein so that it gives you lasting energy throughout the morning, and should also be low in sugar, so that you don’t crash. The first two recipes below can be made in advance, to make your mornings even easier while you’re on the go. Check out our recipes for delicious, healthier options for breakfast:
Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
½ cup Old fashioned oats
½ cup almond milk
½ cup chopped apple
Dash of fresh lemon juice
