Learn More »Let’s face it — getting out of bed can sometimes feel impossible. If you frequently feel groggy in the morning, keep in mind that the food you eat can make a big difference in giving you the energy and motivation to get through your day. A balanced breakfast includes protein, slowly digested carbohydrates, and healthy fats, along with some fruit or vegetables. Here’s why they’re important: Proteins. These are used to build and repair tissue in your body, transport and store nutrients, and provide your body with energy.

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that aids in digestion. These are the main source of energy for your body. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that aids in digestion. Fats. These supply energy and also help your body absorb some vitamins. Get plenty of monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats, such as those found in nuts, avocados, and olive oil. Adding the following foods or a combination of these items to your breakfast can give you the energy boost you need to power through your day. 1. Oatmeal Your body processes food to release the energy it contains. Foods high in carbohydrates may be the easiest to convert into fuel. But simple carbohydrates, like sugar, tend to be used very quickly. This means they’ll give you only a short burst of energy that’ll run out quickly. For long-lasting energy, add a complex carbohydrate, like oats and grains, to your breakfast. Oatmeal without added sugar is one of your best options. Oats are a whole grain food and a good source of carbohydrates and fiber, along with some protein and fat. Oats are also loaded with vitamins and minerals, including: manganese

These are living microorganisms that help your gut stay healthy, so you won’t have to worry about feeling sluggish during the day due to poor digestion. What’s great about Greek yogurt is how many different power foods you can add on top. Berries, nuts, oats, granola, seeds, honey, apples, papaya, mango, coconut, and over a dozen other fruits can make breakfast an enjoyable and satisfying way to start your day. 5. Papaya Papayas are an excellent addition to breakfast, in a smoothie with coconut milk, for example, or added to yogurt. Or just cut it up and eat it as a side dish. This tropical delight is high in fiber and antioxidants known as carotenoids, as well as vitamins A and C. Vitamin C can help with the absorption of non-heme iron, which is the type of iron found in plant-based foods. It can also help support your immune system. However, it’s a water-soluble vitamin, which means it’s not easily stored in your body. So, you’ll need to regularly eat foods rich in vitamin C to replenish your stores. 6. Ground flaxseed Ground flaxseed can take your breakfast to the next level. Flax is high in soluble fiber, which can help slow digestion and lower your blood sugar. If you tend to snack between meals, adding flaxseed to your breakfast may work to stave off hunger pangs. Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of ground flaxseed onto your oatmeal or yogurt, or try adding it to a smoothie or to baked goods. You can make a flax “tea” by mixing it with hot water, lemon juice, honey, and spices. 7. Berries Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are often considered superfoods. They’re high in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C. Though they may taste sweet, berries are generally low in calories, so you don’t have to skimp on them. Even people on a low carb and ketogenic diet can enjoy berries in moderation. Berries can be easily incorporated into smoothies made with almond, oat, dairy, or coconut milk, or can be added to oatmeal or yogurt. They also make a great mid-morning snack. 8. Chia seeds Chia seeds are a high source of fiber. The type of fiber in chia seeds is a viscous fiber, which means it absorbs water. As the food moves through your digestive tract, it will expand in volume. Adding just a spoonful or two of chia seeds to your breakfast can mean feeling satiated for much longer. You can also experiment with a variety of different chia seed puddings made by adding chia seeds to milk. As the chia seeds absorb the milk and expand, it creates a pudding-like consistency. Here’s a recipe for a protein-packed chia seed pudding that’s sure to make your day better: 3 tbsp. chia seeds
