I always need extra energy because my days of work are from 9am-9pm. Needing good energy in the morning. Any good suggestions for a energy start breakfast?

Nuts are really helpful. If you don’t like nuts, banana is good as well. If you are a coffee addict, coffee might help you too. But it’s better if you avoid coffee or things like that because in long term it can have a bad impact on your memory.

Green smoothie with alternative milk, spinach, flax and chia seeds, banana, scoop of collagen protein and half avocado. Lots of protein and fiber, plus veggies!

I haven’t experimented with many different foods yet, but two boiled eggs and some smoked samon is my favourite so far. And one banana running out the door.

I would definitely think about making sure you have enough protein in your breakfast, that helps a lot with energy. Also, don’t over do the carbs because that can lead you to have an energy crash later.

Hey there! The most important thing is that you find something you like! Personally I eat oatmeal with fresh fruit in it, no added sugar. What I like about it is that it’s so versatile! Add peanut butter, raisins, fruit, nuts, frozen berries or whatever else you like and it’ll taste different every day! <3

My days are the same. I like to do unsweetened soy milk with cereal, which often has granola and nuts in it to help keep me full. On days I’m in a rush, I have multiple bars stashed in my bag for either breakfast or a between-meal hefty snack. I like those two because it’s effective, cheap, and low-maintenance. Toast with nut butter and fruit is also good. I’d suggest a complex carb paired with a protein (like egg) and a veggie or fruit, so you can have the essential nourishment from the fruit/veggie, and fullness and slow, steady energy release from the protein and especially the complex carb. Think avocado toast with egg, oatmeal with flaxseed and fruit, or banana pancakes made with coconut or oat flour.

My suggestion is definitely muesli (oat meal mixed with dried fruits), an egg, honey, wholegrain bread and multivitamins :)

I usually start my days off with two pieces of toasted seeded multigrain bread. I spread half an avocado and a little bit of hummus over the toast. Then I cover that with a couple spinach leaves and top it off with a sunny side up egg on each slice. YUM! Accompanying this is a cup of orange juice with two tablespoons of raw oatmeal, one scoop of chia seeds and a couple drops of raw honey. Gives me a great jumpstart to my day!

You can have scrambled eggs with some dark wholegrain bread, green leaves and a coffee. Make sure to remember about eating lunch and dinner too!

I always feel better with a good blend of protein and complex carbs first thing- my favorite is a scrambled egg with cheese on a whole wheat tortilla, maybe add spinach or broccoli to round it out. I feel better and have a lot more energy all day. Also, drink plenty of water!
