A good breakfast is exactly what your brain needs after a long night without food to literally ‘break (its) fast'. By a “good breakfast” I don’t mean a gigantic, heavy meal. What our brains need first thing in the morning is light, sustained energy. This can be achieved by way of glucose-rich foods that include a good balance of fiber, vitamins and minerals, along with adequate protein and fat, and of course, filtered water or tea to rehydrate.
These No-Bake Energy Bars are a perfect snack to refuel after a workout, knock out a sugar craving, or hold you over until dinner.
For all busy moms out there, this is a super quick, super healthy version of breakfast pancakes that will keep your little ones happy and satisfied.
Bircher Muesli was developed towards the end of the 19th century by Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Brenner for his patients. It is still a very popular breakfast throughout Switzerland and Germany. Muesli (pronounced muse-lee) is an uncooked mixture of nuts, seeds, grains, dried fruits and spices. Although the ingredients may remind you of granola, the main difference is that muesli doesn’t contain any added oils or sugars, and is eaten raw.
If Avocado Toast isn't in your weekly routine, this recipe will convince you otherwise. Nothing beats this classic toast. Start with a silky avocado, chock-full of heart- and brain-healthy fats, and dress it with EVOO (another heart/brain favorite like flaxseed oil) and a pinch of pink salt and chili peppers flakes to taste.
A staple in our household: my favorite, super quick, brain-healthy breakfast that combines the crunchiness of toasted bread with the sweetness of raw honey.
