A savory breakfast is one of the simplest ways to avoid the morning sugar crash. Here's why this one works:
- Protein + healthy fats + fiber = a balanced start that keeps blood sugar stable.
- Vegetables first thing in the morning set the tone for the day (and help flatten glucose response).
- Avocado adds creaminess and extra healthy fat to keep you satisfied.
