The SAVORY breakfast challenge.

For years, we’ve been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day — and that it should include orange juice, cereal, granola, toast, fruit, maybe a protein bar or yogurt on the go.

But here’s the truth:
Starting your day with sugar is silently sabotaging your energy, cravings, and hormone health.

This week, I’m inviting you into something different.
Something powerful.
Something savory.

Welcome to the 7-Day Savory Breakfast Challenge 🥑

This isn’t a diet. It’s a strategy.
One that supports hormone balance, reduces mid-day crashes, and rewires your relationship with food in the morning. For 7 days, we’re focusing on real food that fuels us for real life — not a blood sugar rollercoaster.

The Rules (but not the rigid kind)

🕘 Fast for 13–16 hours overnight
Your body thrives on this daily rest and reset. Wake up, hydrate, and push your first meal back until you hit that 13–16 hour window. This gentle intermittent fast gives your body time to repair, stabilize blood sugar, and tap into fat-burning.

🍽 Break your fast with a savory, protein-rich meal
That means no oatmeal, granola, or fruit-first smoothies this week. Instead, we’ll be enjoying things like egg scrambles, veggie-packed hash, savory bowls, and leftover protein from dinner (yes, breakfast doesn't have to "look" like breakfast!).

🌱 Order of eating matters
Start with vegetables, then move to healthy fats and proteins, and if you're including fruit — save it for last. This simple trick can help blunt the blood sugar spike and keep you fuller, longer.

🍴 Repeat or rotate your meals
I’ve created a downloadable Savory Breakfast PDF full of recipes you can mix and match — or fall in love with one and eat it on repeat. No shame in a breakfast bowl rut when it’s that good.

Why Does This Matter?

When we shift away from sweet, carb-heavy breakfasts, we:

Balance our blood sugar (bye-bye crashes)
Reduce afternoon cravings and brain fog
Improve insulin sensitivity (hello, longevity)
Support our hormones through every life phase — yes, especially perimenopause and beyond
Feel more grounded, satisfied, and clear-headed throughout the day

My Personal Why 💬

As a coach (and a mom), I get it — mornings are chaos.
But I also know how different my day feels when I start it with intention instead of impulse. When I fast, hydrate, move my body, and then break my fast with real food… I show up stronger — for myself, my work, and my family.

This challenge is about more than just food.
It’s about starting your day from a place of power, not panic.
