Foods To Avoid At Breakfast For Health

Because what you eat for breakfast can have a huge impact on your day, there are a few ingredients to avoid at your morning meal. These items will weigh you down, cause blood sugar spikes and can ruin your memory, mood, and motivation for the day.

• Cereals/cereal bars, which are high in sugar and refined grains. As a result, they can cause blood sugar spikes and crashes.
• Sweetened yogurts, because they often contain way too much sugar. Instead, try Greek yogurt, pure honey, and fresh berries for a healthier alternative.
• Fruit juice is also filled with high amounts of sugar. In fact, it's better to make your own or eat whole fruit.
• Margarine contains trans fats that are extremely harmful to the body and therefore should be avoided.

Luckily, our 15 Easy and Healthy Breakfast Recipes steer clear of these unhealthy ingredients. Read on for the best recipes to up your breakfast or brunch game.

Oats are a fantastic breakfast option because they're filling, nutritious and you can be very versatile. That means you can add any of your favorite healthy fillings and toppings.

Easy Homemade Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a traditional Middle Eastern dish. It's a healthy breakfast that's also great for sharing. You can make Shakshuka at home in a clay pot or cast-iron skillet. However, there are many benefits to using a clay pot for cooking. For example, clay pots require less oil because they retain moisture better.

Also, there is no risk of lead traces entering your food, as there is with normal cooking utensils. Finally, slow cooking in a clay pot helps the food to retain nutrients. However you make it, shakshuka is a deeply nutritious and satisfying vegetarian breakfast recipe that also happens to be low-carb.
