A Note About the Importance of Healthy Fats

Starting your day with "good fats" (like the ones in peanut butter... or avocados... or Pyure Hazelnut Spread) isn’t just delicious: it’s a smart energy move. These fats help keep you full longer, steady your blood sugar, and give your brain the fuel it needs to focus. Plus, by promoting satiety and stable blood sugar, healthy fats can help curb cravings for carb-heavy/sugary foods later in the day. When you pair healthy fats with protein and a little caffeine, you’re basically creating a breakfast dream team that powers you through your morning without the 10 a.m. snack attack.
