Breakfast Recipes

A study released in the current British Journal of Nutrition showed that consuming peanut butter or peanuts for breakfast can control blood sugar throughout most of the day. In addition, peanuts and peanut butter caused a significant reduction in hunger for up to 12 hours and a significant increase in the secretion of the hormone PYY that promotes satiety and feelings of fullness.

The researchers suggest that it is the nutritious components of peanuts: protein, fiber, and healthy oils that help to maintain blood sugar control and contribute to feelings of fullness. A healthy peanut or peanut butter breakfast recipe will start your day off on the right foot. You can continue this appetite control throughout the day by adding peanuts to snacks and dinner recipes.
