Breakfast
Breakfast is a time when people indulge in buttermilk pancakes, french toast, and maple syrup-slathered anything. Instead of spiking your blood sugar through the roof before 9 am, opt for lower calorie options that will fill you up and give you the same sweet sensation as those sugary pancakes.
Oatmeal is a "good carb" safe haven that is usually filled with good-for-you appetite curbing ingredients. Opt for packaged oatmeal with a few simple ingredients (if you're always in a rush), or make your own with 1/2 cup quick cooking oats, a splash of almond milk, cinnamon, and a little maple syrup. Top with fresh berries or bananas, and a handful of raw almonds!
Oatmeals in the West Village is like a Pinkberry for all things oatmeal, with a full serving bar dedicated to making your oats Insta-worthy. If you're craving sweets in the morning, opt for a simple water based oatmeal with some pomegranate seeds, dark chocolate chips, and nuts. This is a breakfast fit for a healthy queen!
