Why Mid-Morning Energy Crashes Happen
That sudden drop in energy mid-morning often isn’t about needing more food — it’s about how breakfast is balanced.
Breakfasts that are too light, too sugary, or missing protein can cause:
- blood sugar spikes and dips
- fatigue and brain fog
- cravings before lunch
A balanced plate helps energy stay steady rather than peaking and crashing.
What Makes a Breakfast Plate “Balanced”
A supportive breakfast usually includes:
- Protein – for satiety and steady blood sugar
- Healthy fats – to slow digestion and support hormones
- Gentle carbohydrates – for energy without spikes
- Fibre – to support digestion and fullness
When these work together, energy lasts longer.
Balanced Breakfast Plate Ideas
1. Eggs + Vegetables + Wholegrain
Eggs with sautéed greens and a slice of wholegrain toast.
2. Greek Yogurt Plate
Greek yogurt with berries, seeds, and a spoon of nut butter.
3. Protein Smoothie Bowl
Protein powder or yogurt blended with fruit and topped with nuts or seeds.
4. Savoury Breakfast Bowl
Leftover vegetables, protein, and a small portion of grains — warm and grounding.
Tips to Keep Breakfast Energy Stable
- Eat protein first
- Avoid starting the day with sugar alone
- Include fat, even in small amounts
- Sit and eat calmly rather than rushing
How you eat matters as much as what you eat.
🌿 Gentle LiveGood Tie-In (Optional)
Some people like to support mornings with LiveGood Complete Protein, Super Greens, or Super Reds, especially on busy days when a full breakfast isn’t practical. These can complement a balanced plate rather than replace real food.
Protein, Fibre And Healthy Fats
Balanced breakfasts don’t need to be complicated. A simple plate with protein, fibre, and healthy fats can prevent mid-morning crashes and support steady energy throughout the day.
Small changes in the morning often make the biggest difference.
