Don’t get me wrong—fruit is an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. But when your breakfast bowl could rival a dessert platter, it’s worth pausing.
Fruit-forward breakfast bowls are often topped with sweet extras like granola, coconut flakes, and honey—creating a sugar overload, even if it all looks healthy. Combine that with a portion size big enough for three, and you’re likely setting your brain up for a rollercoaster of energy highs and lows.
A smarter swap: Stick with a modest portion of low-glycemic fruit like berries, and pair it with unsweetened Greek yogurt, some crushed nuts, or a spoonful of tahini for added protein and fat.
