As the mornings get darker and the chill sets in, breakfast often becomes the first casualty of the busy fall rush. Whether you’re getting the kids ready for school or heading to work yourself, skipping breakfast can seem like an easy time-saver, but it comes at a cost.
According to research published in the Journal of Nutrition, breakfast plays a key role in maintaining energy, improving concentration, and supporting a balanced metabolism throughout the day. For children, studies have shown that a nutritious breakfast improves attention, memory, and test performance at school. Adults benefit too - a 2021 study in Nutrients linked regular breakfast consumption to better blood sugar regulation and sustained energy levels.
The Immunity Boosting Power of a Good Breakfast
With fall comes an increase in colds and flu, making immune support essential. Nutrient-rich breakfasts that include vitamins A, C, D, and E, plus zinc and antioxidants, help strengthen the immune system. Dairy-free breakfasts made with fresh plant milk are rich in nutrients and gentle on digestion, helping both kids and adults feel good from the inside out.
Freshly made almond, oat, or cashew milk from the Milky Plant is packed with plant-based goodness, including vitamin E, healthy fats, and antioxidants, all of which contribute to immune health and overall well-being.
