The importance of a good healthy breakfast

I believe a good breakfast is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes it can be the hardest meal to enjoy, either we’re getting the kids ready for school and rushing out to work, or we just cannot find a natural and healthy option for breakfast.

Traditional breakfasts are often loaded with animal products or refined gluten and sugar. Skipping or having an inadequate breakfast is a dangerous habit. If our body does not have enough fuel and nutrition it needs, we will struggle throughout the day and crave ‘pick me up’ sugar and caffeine fixes, which can become a vicious cycle.

A balanced breakfast loaded with complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein, good sugars, and fats will provide us with the sustained energy we need to thrive throughout the day.

Rest assured, our ‘Healthy Breakfasts’ recipe roundup will soon have breakfast as your favorite meal of the day, you will look forward to that alarm buzzing in the morning, thanks to these satisfying, nutritious, and delicious plant-powered recipes.

Break your fast in style

Breakfast like a king; lunch like a prince; dinner like a pauper.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, I love to rise and shine early and make the most of the day. Every day is a gift; the early morning habits and rituals we cultivate will determine our mood and energy for the day ahead. Taking the time to enjoy a good, nutritious breakfast regularly is the key to achieving and maintaining vibrant health.

The benefits of a healthy breakfast

With the right knowledge and motivation, it does not take much time to prepare a range of convenient and nutritious breakfast items. Making your own is not only better for your health, but it's also much cheaper and far more satisfying.

Taking the time to sit together at the breakfast table as a family and teaching our kids the importance of a good breakfast, as well as some recipes, is truly empowering them for a healthier and happier life ahead.
