The biggest challenge for women and balancing our hormones starts with balancing our blood sugar. Balanced blood sugar ensures that moods are stable, that we are not ‘nibble-y’ through the day & we don’t suffer from the dramatic blood sugar dips that have us reaching for sugar (biscuits, chocolate, sweet teas or coffees).
Sugar is a quick win for picking us up, but it also drops us, literally off a cliff, very quickly. When we are in this dip, an apple is far from an attractive substitute! However, an apple has the same lift but more sustained energy than a line of chocolate. The best time to balance our blood sugar is in the morning by incorporating protein. If you can nail this first thing, you will have it under control through the whole day AND be able to make healthy choices when it comes to snacks, lunch & dinner. Plus, you will avoid the sugar guilt of consuming food that you know doesn’t help, but hinders your hormones, your mood, your skin & your waist.
The following recipes have been developed to give your mornings variety. Some can be made in bulk so that breakfast can still be a grab & run affair if you need it to be. Others, can be made first thing in the morning. If breakfast isn’t your thing, remember you can add protein by munching a handful of raw nuts. You can increase protein by adding bee pollen to your smoothies or cereals. You can choose a low sugar, high quality peanut butter or nut spread to have on granary toast. Maybe it’s even 2 eggs, not 1? Remember, every meal is an opportunity to feed your hormones and nourish yourself.
