What Ingredients To Include In Your Sheet Pan Breakfast For Energy
Avocado
Avocados are rich in over 20 vitamins and minerals and are especially abundant in satiating and energizing monounsaturated fatty acids.
Eggs
Egg yolks are filled with Vitamin D, an energizing nutrient that has been shown to support energy. Be sure to scramble the whole egg to get all of the rich nutrients in this protein-packed food!
Sweet Potato
Thanks to its high fiber levels, sweet potatoes are a healthy and energizing carb source that will keep you feeling fuller for longer without a major blood sugar spike! Plus, they’re a healthy and nourishing alternative to traditional breakfast carbs like white bread and baked goods.
Spinach
One cup of spinach contains 39% of the RDI of magnesium, a nutrient that is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic processes (including energy production)!
Beef
Toss some ground beef in your egg scramble or sheet pan breakfast recipes! This animal protein contains high levels of B12, a Vitamin known to reduce fatigue and improve energy. Not a fan of beef? Try other animal-based protein sources or plant-based foods fortified with B12!
