Breakfast, the most important meal of the day ... also one of my favourite meals of the day!
Having a quality breakfast full of high fibre carbohydrates, healthy fats, and protein is key to fuelling your day for success and energy! Carbohydrates provide us with great energy for the day, while fibre helps to regulate our digestive system. Fats helps to keep us satiated while protein helps to build and maintain muscle.
Finding a breakfast that contains all of these key nutrients can be tricky, especially if you need a meal that is convenient and easy to make! But hold tight, because I'm about to share with you my favourite overnight oatmeal recipe.
