The saying goes that breakfast is the most important meal of the day! We can focus on making it into a nutritious and satiating meal. Consuming fiber is good for digestive health, but it also helps with cholesterol reduction and weight management. A breakfast filled with protein reduces hunger cravings and improves blood sugar control throughout the day. Limiting additional sugar reduces energy crashes, cravings, improves focus, weight management, and lowers risk of type 2 diabetes.
