| Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. It kick starts your body and provides you with enough energy to make it through your hectic morning as well as keep your mind focused on the task at hand. Eating a balanced breakfast is not only good for you body, but also good for your teeth. Being mindful of the acidity and sugar levels in your food is key to keeping your teeth in tip-top shape! When it comes to breakfast foods, there are a few foods we recommend eating in moderation! These include, but are not limited to, orange juice and sugary cereals. Orange juice has a very high acidity and by drinking too much, the acid can wear down your tooth enamel. Cereals that are high in sugar have a similar effect on your teeth, but the sugar can also cause cavities. Eating a balanced breakfast that is low in sugar and acid, but high in protein will make your body and teeth feel great! Protein rich foods will help to build up your enamel and keep your teeth stronger than ever. Here are a few recipe ideas for a healthy and balanced breakfast: Overnight Oats: o 1/3 cup of oats o 1/3 cup of milk (or substitute almond, soy, coconut, etc.) o 1/3 cup of plain Greek Yogurt o 1 tbsp chia or flax seeds OR ¼ cup chopped nuts o Fresh fruit/ berries of your choice! Mix all of the ingredients together in a sealed container, or mason jar, and place in fridge the night before. Open and enjoy the next morning for a healthy and balanced breakfast! Avocado Toast: o 1-2 slices of whole grain toast o 1 ripe avocado o 1 egg (cooked to your preference) o 1 ripe tomato o Seasonings of your choice (salt & pepper, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, etc.) |
