Start the Day the Right Way
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet it is the most commonly skipped meal. Some people may not be hungry in the morning, while others may have a hectic morning routine, which has them running out the door without even thinking about eating. According to WebMD, When you wake up, the blood sugar your body needs to make your muscles and brain work their best is usually low. Breakfast helps replenish it.
Healthy meal preppingrecipes can combat the need or want to skip breakfast by allowing you to prepare them the night before or plan for the week. Many studies have linked eating breakfast to good health, including better memory and concentration, lower levels of bad LDL cholesterol, and lower chances of getting diabetes, heart disease, and being overweight (WebMD). We encourage you to try one of these recipes!
