 You should try these Savoury Cheddar & Jalapeno Scones. They are naturally gluten free, sugar free and contain no grains!
These scones are a great breakfast food. They are high in protein and good fats, with no sugar or other refined carbohydrates.
There is good evidence to suggest that a savoury breakfast is better than a sweet one, particularly when it comes to blood sugar regulation, appetite control and overall energy levels.Â
A sweet breakfast (ie. cereal, toast, granola bar, muffin) can cause a spike in blood sugar, leading to an energy crash and hunger soon after. A savoury, protein-rich breakfast helps maintain more stable energy levels all day.Â
Studies suggest that the first meal of the days sets the stage for blood sugar regulation throughout the rest of the day- a concept sometimes called the “second meal effect”. A high protein, fibre rich breakfast helps your body process carbs more efficiently at later meals, reducing insulin/blood sugar spikes.Â
Even if you have no food intolerances, EVERYBODY should cut back on white sugar and flour. Sugar and flour promotes systemic inflammation and inflammation drives pain and disease. Scientific studies have shown that inflammation is the root cause of ALL diseases.
