I start thinking about my healthy cup of coffee about 10 seconds after I wake up. Coffee addiction, anyone? Maybe. I love the ritual of a warm cup of Joe first thing in the morning. My tummy likes something warm, and slowing down to enjoy my coffee helps me center and focus before the day gets started. Also, because my cup of coffee includes a healthy fat and protein, my blood sugar levels stay happy too.
You’ve heard the saying, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” and there’s a lot of truth to those words. Our bodies set their blood sugar clocks first thing in the morning. So if you want to avoid a day full of blood sugar spikes and crashes, it’s wise to include a healthy fat and protein with your morning food or drink.
I know I’m not the only one who has a healthy morning drink ritual so I searched for some nourishing recipes to share with you. I’ve found 15 Healthy Morning Drink recipes for both parents and kids. I hope you enjoy them.
