So here is one of my "go-to" breakfasts!
Do you all recognize this mystery breakfast? If you guessed ezekial bread & avocado then you are correct "ding-ding-ding"🏆!!!
I usually try to eat at least 5 times a day, every 3 hrs to keep my metabolism up ( keyword TRY). I don't eat much at some meals but just try to make sure I'm eating at least a fruit or something for my inbetween meals.
So you're probably thinking "this looks gross, why would I want to eat it🤔" welllllllll let me tell you why!
First up, the avocado...
Avocados are good for your health! They help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, keep your heart healthy, prevent chronic diseases, cancer, osteoporosis and are great for pregnant women.
They lower the risk for depression.
They are high in fiber and improve digestion.
They regulate the immune system and act as a natural detoxifier.
Studies show monosaturated fat which is found in avocados, prevents fat distrubution around the belly
They are high in antioxidants and can fight back the free radicals unleashed on your mitochondria that are ruining your metabolism
It's one of the most effective natural hunger blockers
It contains nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are essential for healthy weight management and regulate sugar metabolism, insulin and stabilize your blood sugar
I can go on forever but I think you get the idea. Who wouldn't want better health, less belly fat, disease fighting compounds, a higher metabolism, less free radicals and more!
Now on to the ezekial bread...
Unlike most breads it contains no added sugars
It is made of organic grains and legumes
It regulates blood sugar, lowers blood pressure, improves digestion, eliminates allergic reactions, improves liver health and reduces risk of heart disease
It's full of fiber and protein.
It keeps you full longer
It's vegan
I realized later on that if you toast it, it taste like regular bread. Eating it un-toasted though takes some getting used to. NOTE: If you are gluten sensitive be careful. While this is low in gluten, it is not gluten free due to the grains For those of us who are not gluten sensitive and love bread, this is a great healthy alternative!
Enjoy🍴
