Choose foods rich in fiber
Fiber slows down the digestion of carbohydrates, resulting in a slower blood sugar response. We don't necessarily have to eat less carbohydrates at breakfast, choose carbohydrates that are high in fiber such as berries, whole wheat toast, avocados and beans...
Add protein
Protein sources like eggs, Greek yogurt, or lean meat slow digestion to reduce blood sugar spikes. They are also nutrients that build and repair body tissues.
Add healthy fats
Avocados and nuts contain unsaturated fats that can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates and provide sustained energy throughout the day.
Avoid added sugars
Sugar is often a staple in breakfast foods like cereals, pastries, and sweetened yogurts, but for long-lasting energy, it's best to limit added sugars as much as possible. Added sugars can spike blood sugar levels, leading to energy crashes later in the day.
