We’ve said it more than once, and we’ll say it again: skipping breakfast is a big no if you’re working on balancing your blood sugar and are in your reproductive years as a woman. Breakfast is the foundation of a successful day, and when it comes to maintaining stable energy levels and managing blood sugar, protein takes center stage. In an ideal world, we’d all start our mornings with a hearty dose of at least 30 grams of protein. In a previous blog linked here, Olivia discusses exactly why a high-protein breakfast is so important, especially for women.
One request we get often from the OO community is for more fun high-protein breakfast ideas —because let’s be honest, plain eggs every morning can get a little boring.
