Top 5 Breakfast Options to Boost your Energy Each Day

1.     Wild Buffalo, Almonds and Black Coffee

Grass fed wild meats are full of healthy Omega-3’s, Carnitine (what your body uses to shuttle fuel away to be used as energy), B-Vitamins, Iodine and many other nutrients. Red meats also have an abundance of nutrients that help produce the neurotransmitters acetyl-choline and dopamine which are needed for focus, motivation, increased alertness and increased concentration.

Combining this with almonds, which are the smart fats your body will use for fuel and a black coffee will be a sure fire way to get you from neutral to super productive in one meal.

Add some extra flavour by marinating the meat over night with smoked chilli flakes, sea salt and garlic pepper.

2.     Wild Caught Salmon, Macadamia nuts, Spinach

Wild caught salmon is full of anti-inflammatory Omega-3’s, which are great for the brain, eyes, skin and improved mood.

Macadamia nuts are again another great healthy fat that your body will use for energy and the spinach is rich in calcium, iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin K and magnesium.

Marinade the salmon overnight with thyme, black pepper, and some mixed herbs.

3.     Fillet of Grass Fed Beef, Pine Nuts, Blueberries

This is a very smooth, tender selection of meat that if cooked right, slices like butter. Another red meat that is high is omega-3’s, carnitine and dopamine producing nutrients.

Pine nuts also help produce acetylcholine and dopamine for increased energy and drive.

The blueberries are Low GI, rich in anti-oxidants and help produce yet more dopamine and acetylcholine.

Try marinating the fillet of beef over night with cayenne pepper, garlic pepper, sea salt and a Moroccan style rub.

4.     Nutrient dense Turkey and Veg Omelette

Turkey is rich in Dopamine and Acetylcholine producing nutrients, high in protein and stir fries very quickly. The eggs (including the yolks) are full of omega-3’s, and mix nicely with the turkey to create an omelette.

Stir fry, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, carrots and some spinach for a nutrient dense omelette that will keep you satisfied until the late morning.

Try adding Turmeric for antioxidant protection and paprika for a fat burning spicy flavour.

5.     High Protein Porridge  

This one is on the list purely because it is the easiest for people who are new to having proteins at breakfast and meats are too big a step to start.

If you feel sleepy or too relaxed after this then it is not for you in the morning. (Try it as a dessert before bed as this combo produces serotonin which will help you have a great night’s sleep).

If however you get a big boost of energy, then try it out.

Add vanilla flavoured whey protein for flavour and boost the porridges protein levels. Slice some almonds and add blueberries for energy, antioxidants and dopamine release.

Sprinkle come cinnamon to help stabilise blood sugar/insulin levels

Add Flax seeds for extra fibre content and added Omega-3’s
