Breakfast and hormones .....

What should your breakfast be made up of to rebalance your hormones either around that time of the month, or perimenopause, or post menopause, to make you feel ready to boss the day and leave you feeling satisfied?

Do you often feel a mid morning dip, brain is foggy, feel hungry, need a caffeine boost…?

Then this blog is for you.

Being more mindful what you are putting on your plate at the start of the day can impact the rest of your day with mood, fatigue, hunger and hormones.

Here are some tips to help you feel more connected, more grounded, satiated, and more energised:

  • Protein, Fat and Fiber, your breakfast should include all three, to balance out sugar lows, to help curb that sugar, caffeine slump in the afternoon and try to break the habit of reaching for the sugary items. So think avocado, eggs, fish, pastured meats, nuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, any veggies/fruit….to name a few.

  • Try to avoid processed foods where possible, so real/ fresh foods.

A few simple breakfast ideas to try could be:

  • Overnight oats with chia seeds, berries and nut butter

  • Tofu scramble / or scrambled egg with avocado, sauerkraut and kidney beans

  • Blueberry protein shake with frozen blueberries, banana, flax seeds, almond/oat milk, and spinach ( optional add nut butter )

Let me know if you start changing up your breakfasts and how you feel moving forwards.

Happy breakfast ladies :) and hope this was helpful.
