Breakfast That Actually Wakes You Up (5-Minute Wins)

Hook: Skip the crash. Build a 5-minute breakfast that steadies energy and mood.

Why it matters (quick science): Protein + fibre slows sugar spikes → steadier focus. Hydration after sleep = brain online.

How to do it (2 steps):

1. Pick 1 protein (eggs, yogurt, milk, tofu, nut butter).

2. Add 1 fibre + fruit (wholegrain toast/oats + banana/berries).

5 Ready-to-Go Combos:

💡 Yogurt + granola + berries

💡 Peanut butter + banana on wholegrain toast

💡 Microwave oats + milk + frozen blueberries

💡 Scrambled egg in tortilla + salsa

💡 Cottage cheese + pineapple + handful of nuts

Troubleshooting:

“No time”: prep the night before (overnight oats, pre-cut fruit).

“No appetite”: drinkable breakfast (smoothie: milk + banana + oats + PB).

Allergies: swap dairy for soy/pea milk; nuts → seeds (sunflower, pumpkin).

Checklist:

✔️ Protein + fibre + fruit

✔️ Full glass of water

✔️ 5-minute prep or night-before setup
