I’m sure you’ve heard it many times before – even your mum might have told you this every morning. A wealth of research shows that starting the day with a good nutritious breakfast is the MOST important thing to do to beat cravings, lose weight and give you the focus and energy you need to function properly, whatever your day holds.
So… DON’T SKIP BREAKFAST. If you take your health and your job seriously, it’s not negotiable!
What is a good nutritious breakfast?
Easy! It’s made up of clean protein (yoghurt, eggs, ham, beans, nut butter), complex carbs (wholemeal bread, sweet potatoes, quinoa, brown rice, hummus), some healthy fat (butter, avocado, olive oil, coconut oil) and a (very) limited amount of sugar. If you can, add some leafy greens, too: spinach, collard greens, rocket and kale. I know that might be a bit challenging for many of us, me included, but give it a go. You’ll notice the difference in your energy level very soon.
Here are my two favourite winter breakfasts.
During the week: homemade oats porridge with coconut milk. Use quinoa for a gluten-free option. I prepare a batch on Sunday night, heat it up every morning and serve with a few slices of pears or apples or banana, a few almonds or walnuts and a dash of crème fraiche. It only takes 5 minutes. For the weekend, when I have more time, I prepare the ‘ideal’ breakfast: 2 organic poached eggs served with a one cup of slightly steamed spinach, some wild-caught salmon (grilled or poached) with mushrooms, some wholemeal bread, some grass-fed butter, a pinch of natural sea salt and pepper.

Don’t forget to allow some time to enjoy your breakfast.
Sitting while you eat, chewing to better assimilate the nutrients and enjoying each bite will go a long way towards performing at your best.
In the next issue, we’ll talk about healthy (yummy) snacks to be at the top of your game all day long.
