The Big Day is finally here!!! Today is your wedding day!!! All of the planning will finally come to life in just a few short hours. You wake up with so much on your mind. You have to bathe, get hair and make-up done, put that "I'm only gonna wear this once dress on." Such a busy, busy bee.
--But wait, aren't you missing something? BREAKFAST! On the most important day of your life, you should NOT skip the most important meal of the day.
How To Ensure You Eat Breakfast
It is best that you designate someone you have breakfast ahead of time. Whether it's your mom, aunt, or close cousin that you know is reliable, be sure to put someone on Breakfast Patrol.
Note: If you and your bridesmaids are getting ready at the same location, be sure that the designated Breakfast Patrol has enough for them to eat as well.
Remember, although this is your day, it will take a TEAM effort to make this day go the way that you've dreamed about. So, you want to make sure that everyone feels their absolute best!
What to Eat
After some research, we've narrowed down some great foods. These foods will provide protein, boost your energy, calm your tummy and keep you satisfied.
Eggs
You can eat them poached, scrambled, boiled; whatever suits your fancy. Eggs are loaded with protein.
Fruit
Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
The live cultures in Greek Yogurt are said to calm your tummy!
Granola
Orange Juice
Whole Wheat Toast
Oatmeal
If you're like me and prefer milk instead of water with your oatmeal; try almond or soy milk
Chamomile Tea
If you absolutely must drink something warm try a calming cup of tea instead of coffee.
Foods to Avoid: Try your absolute best to avoid: salt, caffeine, milk & diary products, and foods that get stuck in your teeth.
Extra Tip: As I was always told in Basic Training: HYDRATE! Water is one of the main keys in fighting fatigue. Make sure you've arranged to have bottled water on hand throughout the day: no matter what season you're getting married in.
You can mix these foods however you like. Make what suits you best. Just remember that you want to eat foods that are easy to digest. You want to avoid an accompaniment of stomach growls during your vows.
