Weekly Challenge: Balanced Breakfast

Health Habits Challenge: Eat a BALANCED breakfast!
Thats right, its week 4 of the #healthyhabits challenge!
The goal this week is to start your day off right with a breakfast balanced with proteins and healthy fats.
The word breakfast literally means "to break the fast", and you want to do so by intaking nutrients the body has used up all night long. That primary macronutrient is protein. 
By reaching for something quick and easy on your way out the door, like coffee + a banana or bagel, you're essentially fueling your fasted body with a handful of sugar, and not much else. 
A simple, quick burning carbohydrate meal like the examples mentioned above leads to insulin spiking, cortisol release, and ultimately an energy crash a few hours later. 
Instead, consider proteins and fats such as like eggs, nut butters, overnight oats, or chia pudding.
Fruit can be a great, light option as well, but don't let it be your only breakfast item. Adding a fibre sources + some cinnamon offsets the blood sugar spiking effects of fruits, and breaks them down slower.
Most importantly, don't skip it. The food you intake in the morning stimulates metabolism, and fuels the rest of your day!
