How do you make the best low-GI breakfast?

  1. Boil a few cups of water with your kettle. I think I typically need around 2 cups of water for one breakfast, so double or triple as you need

  3. In the meantime mash one banana in the base of your breakfast bowl
  4. Once your oats are done add your oats to the bowl, then begin adding your toppings

What does low-GI mean? The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how carb-containing foods affect your blood sugar levels. A GI value of 55 or lower is considered to be a low GI breakfast/meal, while 70+ is high. Our bodies break down carbs into glucose and insulin passes this over to power our cells. High-GI foods make our blood glucose levels spike and crash.

What are some low-GI foods? Whole grains, fruits, dairy products, and legumes.

Are eggs a low-GI food? Yes! Eggs have a relatively low glycemic index.
