Mistakes I see stay at home moms make: skipping breakfast.

Look, I think the whole skipping breakfast trend has to go. Eating a nutritious breakfast is one of the best things a woman can do to help set themselves up for a successful day. Breakfast helps you avoid afternoon binges, provides energy throughout the day, and can even help stabilize a healthy weight.

Why do moms often skip breakfast?

Why do so many mothers find themselves skipping breakfast? The culprit often lies in a lack of time in my opinion. Amidst the morning rush, finding a moment to sit down and enjoy a nutritious breakfast seems like an impossible task. But it doesn’t have to be that way. As an advocate for efficient and healthy eating habits, I’ve found a solution that’s both convenient and satisfying: chia seed pudding.

The easy answer: chia seed pudding with yogurt
