As a registered nutritional therapist, I'm sharing my top two favourite ways to make perfectly balanced breakfasts with Purition. Try my delicious Cherry Smoothie and even more delicious Layered Cherry Yoghurt Pot!
Balancing your breakfast with the right combination of protein, fibre, healthy fats, and carbohydrates is crucial for regulating insulin release and maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
The balance of protein, fibre, healthy fats and carbohydrates help to slow down glucose absorption, reducing the strain on your pancreas.
Blood sugar management is crucial to:
- Prevent energy crashes
- Mood and hormones
- Promote better focus and concentration
- Appetite regulation and weight management
- Reduce the risk of insulin resistance
