best breakfast

Non-fat greek yogurt, 2 tbsp chopped walnuts, sliced banana: the carbs from the yogurt and banana provide energy, but the protein from the yogurt and walnuts helps to keep insulin levels steady.

Grab and Go: LARABAR

These chewy wholesome treats have just the right amount of sweet to fulfill a craving, but not send you over the edge by raising your blood sugar levels. Made with fruit (one bar counts as 1/2 serving of fruit), nuts, extra virgin coconut oil, and an occasional extra ingredient such as unsweetened chocolate, almost every bar is gluten-free, vegan, and kosher.
