Protein-Rich Breakfasts for Every Taste + Diet
Eating a protein-rich diet is one of the most powerful tips I can offer when it comes to quickly boosting your energy AND supporting your menstrual health over the long-term.
Why is this so powerful?
First of all, it will help balance your blood sugar. This is going to help you have more (sustained, consistent) energy almost right away by helping balance your blood sugar.
Balanced blood sugar is also an important piece of the hormonal health puzzle.
And, if you tend to skip breakfast or eat something carb-heavy, you'll be adding more nutrient density to your diet, which will support your menstrual health over time.
I hear from many parents who just aren't hungry when they wake up and this in and of itself can be a symptom of blood sugar imbalance (you've just gone through an 8+ hour fast, your body definitely needs fuel!). You might need to re-train your body to eat breakfast, so I'd really encourage to eat breakfast for a week, even if you don't feel hungry and see what shifts for you.
At our house we eat the same breakfast most days: two poached eggs, meatballs or bacon, a pile of roasted kale, either fruit or sourdough + butter, and a scoop of collagen in coffee (for the adults).
Spoiler: 2 eggs is not enough protein for an adult human.
But there's a protein-rich breakfast out there for every taste and diet. I've created a list of ideas for you here:
Steak and eggs with potatoes, fruit, or toast
Breakfast hash (serve with eggs to get enough protein in)
You can also add a scoop of protein powder, put collagen in your hot drink, or sip on a mug of bone broth to add 10g or so of protein to your brekky.
Let me know in the comments: are you going to accept the challenge?
Or if you're already firmly on the "hormone healthy breakfast bandwagon," tell us what's your favourite protein-rich breakfast these days?
