Nutritious Breakfasts: What I’m Trying
I’ve talked a lot lately about how I’m learning about perimenopause. (Here is a weekly newsletter with the top three perimenopause resources from around the web, if it interests you!) It is a relief to find out that the best way to prepare your body for perimenopause aligns with what we were already supposed to do:
- Adequate sleep
- Good nutrition
- Regular movement
- Stress reduction
So I’ve been focusing on how to bring more nutritious breakfasts into my life. I decided to purchase Ka’Chava power for breakfast smoothies a couple times a week. I know it’s better to get our nutrients from fresh, whole foods, but there’s a ton of staff packed into two scoops of this stuff.
It’s really simple. I mix two scoops with water and ice and blend it all together. It keeps me full for a long time.
I’ve been doing whole food smoothies on the other days of the week. I feel like fruits and vegetables make for really nutritious breakfasts.
Now I need to shift my focus to how to make healthier lunches! This article seems like a good place to start because it says I can still eat breads, pastas, etc. (just healthier versions of them). I can do that!
