It’s the morning of YOUR WEDDING! Oh, so many things to do - make up, hair, faux eyelashes, photographs and the list goes on. A whirlwind of excitement, happiness and laughter. Amidst all the chaos, it’s crucial to remember to fuel up with a good breakfast, especially if you’re planning to toast with your bridal party while getting ready. So, before the festivities begin, take a moment to nourish yourself. Here are our picks to start your special day on the right note.

Hydration is your best friend

Begin your day by hydrating your body with a tall glass of water. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon to kickstart your metabolism.

The ideal breakfast for your wedding day should combine fiber, lean protein, and healthy fats to keep you fueled and satisfied without leading to a sudden drop in blood sugar. Consider options like:

Omelet

A whole omelet with spinach served with whole-wheat toast and avocado. Spinach provides fiber without causing bloating, unlike other vegetables like broccoli, making ideal for the day.

Overnight Oats

Overnight oats topped with almond or peanut butter, sliced banana, and a sprinkle of chia seeds, that will make you feel full for hours.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt (if you don’t get bloated) with granola, mixed berries, and a drizzle of honey.

Go Green

A green juice made with spinach, celery, pineapple, banana, apple, freshly squeezed lemon juice - an energy and glow booster packed with vitamins.

Salmon Toast

Whole-wheat toast with mashed avocado and smoked salmon.

Fruits

A bowl of fresh fruit salad with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a handful of nuts.

Snack smart and often:

- Trail mix made with almonds, dried fruit, and dark chocolate

- Sliced veggies with hummus for a crunchy and satisfying bite

-Energy balls made with oats, nut butter, and honey for a sweet treat on the go
