Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why? Because while you sleep, your body uses energy to repair cell damage, keep your heart beating, and your brain dreaming! By the time you wake up, you’re running on fumes—in the form of glucose stored in your blood, muscles, and liver. Without a good breakfast, it doesn’t take long for the fuel tanks to reach empty.

Eating a good breakfast, on the other hand, will kick start your metabolism. Experts recommend a breakfast with a mix of protein and starch to help you maintain consistent blood sugar levels throughout the morning. Try some of our starchy grains, such as Three Brothers or oats, mixed with your favorite nuts to achieve this goal. (For added blood sugar level support, add chia seeds to the mix.)

So here’s some food for thought: Breakfast doesn’t have to be boring to be good for you. In fact, it can even be delicious. And don’t you deserve to start the day with a little something just right?
