Sometimes we need to switch things up a bit in the mornings. Below are 5 vegetarian breakfast recipes that you can try. Remember that breakfast should be consumed within 1 hour of waking up.

Each breakfast includes low glycemic load carbohydrates, fiber and filling veggies. Fiber first thing in the morning will help to keep blood sugar levels balanced all day. When you start your day with a high fiber breakfast your cravings will diminish and you will have constant levels of energy… how nice!
