A chocolate bar is a treat and should not be eaten at breakfast..ever. Grab some fruit today. Green apples are better at waking you up than coffee.

Try swapping out your chocolate bar for a chocolate protein bar, chocolate breakfast bar or a chocolate nut bar. Reduce the amount of milk and sugar added to your coffee if you’d rather not give up your morning chocolate bar.

Sometimes, you are in a hurry, it is normal, but it is better to eat a banana on the go, or at least if you have time, make sure you are getting a nice meal that can help you kickstart your day, it will also make it easier for you to burn calories trouoght the day. Good luck.

That’s the opposite of a great breakfast. It’ll rev up your cortisol and crash your blood sugar in no time. Try something with protein, like eggs or a power smoothie.

No, haha, definitely not. Maybe oatmeal or yogurt with honey/fruit/nuts, or eggs, or toast with avocado/egg/nut butter/fruit. You can mix chia pudding or overnight oats, or boil eggs the night before and have one of those things in the morning on the go if you are short on time. You can make a yogurt/chia/oat concoction and stir in cocoa powder and a sweetener like honey or pure maple syrup if you love chocolate! It’s also great as a dessert tbh.

If you love chocolate, save it for a pick-me-up later in the day. Something that would be convenient but also healthier would be a bowl of yogurt with a couple tablespoons of roasted flax seed sprinkled on top. Or a little granola if that sounds too weird.

Eggs, toast from whole cereals ( I prefer no wheat ), low sugar cereal eg muesli and non sweetened yoghurt, a smoothie is great if you are on the go

Personally I don’t think that has enough nutritional value to be a great breakfast. You don’t want to sugar crash after an hour and be hungry again! I’d go for some porridge sweetened with fruit, or eggs and toast or an omelette. Maybe even banana pancakes (there’s some great recipes online) It’s not breakfast without coffee though!

Considering that you want to have your breakfast as full of healthy non-processed nutrients, I recommend you choose proteins (eggs) + carbs (whole wheat bread) as your breakfast because this combination allows your body to break the carbs slower than if you ate a chocolate, the sugar in the bar would only be effective for a very short period of time. And for drinks, I recommend choosing tea over coffee if you want to have sustainable energy throughout the day, or you can combine it with strong coffee to get your metabolism going. Green coffee is a compromise in this case. :)

... Probably not? If you want to stick to bar-format, try out energy bars until you find some you like. If you’re open to switching up your geometry, bananas are something I have for breakfast almost every day!
