Simple carbs and refined sugars, often found in breakfast cereals and pastries, cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels, followed by a crash. This rollercoaster ride leaves you feeling foggy, weak and drained of energy.

Simple carbs and refined sugars are the enemy of breakfast. It causes a sugar spike and the release of insulin first thing! As a result, you start to feel brain fog, weak, and low energy.
In the fat world, for me, AVOCADOS are KING! Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados provide a steady source of energy while keeping you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning. But that's not all – avocados are also packed with dietary fibers, which support digestive health and help regulate blood sugar levels, keeping those mid-morning cravings at bay.
Moreover, avocados contain a plethora of essential nutrients, including vitamins E, K, and B6, as well as folate and potassium, all of which contribute to overall health and well-being. Their creamy texture and mild flavor make them a versatile addition to any morning meal.
Whether mashed onto whole-grain toast, blended into a creamy smoothie, or sliced atop your favorite breakfast bowl, avocados offer a myriad of health benefits to fuel your day ahead. Plus, their high monounsaturated fat content helps promote heart health and can aid in reducing cholesterol levels.
