WHAT MAKES A BALANCED BREAKFAST?

SIMPLE NUTRITION TIPS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Start your day with the right food and the right energy!

Breakfast helps to wake up your body and brain. If you skip it, you may feel tired, crave sugary foods, and overeat later in the day. A good breakfast keeps you full, supports weight control, and helps manage blood sugar.

What is a Balanced Breakfast?

A balanced breakfast includes these 3 main things:
1. Protein – like eggs, beans, Greek yogurt, fish, skinless chicken/turkey
2. Healthy fats – like avocado, nuts, or chia seeds
3. High-fiber carbs – like whole oats, unripe plantain, acha, or non-starchy vegetables
You can also add vegetables or fruits for more vitamins and fiber.
