Start the day the right way!

Do you eat breakfast?

Are you eating the right foods first thing in the morning?

Breakfast is known as one of the most important meals of the day, and there is plenty of scientific data to back up these claims. We are waking up from a catabolic state after eight hours sleep and need to “break the fast”. Eating first thing gets our metabolism firing again, this happens through a process called Diet Induced Thermogenesis.

So what am I eating for breakfast?

Well I like my breakfast to be quick and simple, so it’s out with the blender!

Spinach, Avocado, Peanut Butter and a scoop of Whey Protein blended together with water.

I’m a big believable in a low carbohydrate breakfast, so mine is packed full of healthy fats and protein.

Why a low carb approach to eating breakfast?

I always use to have oats for breakfast and felt sluggish and slow afterwards. With for the majority of the population, breakfast entails a feast of sugar. Biologically this will spike your insulin and send your blood sugar crashing a time later.

Fats area  stable, long acting energy source with many health benefits.

Healthy fats from nuts, avocados and some oils have been shown to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL).

Fats are also the building blocks are many hormones in the body.

Culturally in modern society with all processed foods we are deficient in many vitamins and minerals.

Start the day right with fruit (yes, an avocado is classified as a fruit) and vegetables, spinach is one of the worlds healthiest foods. As an important added factor, avocados are high in fibre.

A healthy gut equals well being!

Protein is the building blocks for all growth and repair in our body, and not just the obvious muscles. Our hair, skin, organs etc. are all reliant on amino acids. So through the avocado, peanut butter and whey protein in the shown breakfast smoothie you are providing you body with a full amino acid profile.
