We all know how important it is to eat breakfast, but it’s hard enough to get everything going in the morning when you don’t have to wonder if you’ll be able to get out of bed. It’s all about planning ahead and making it easy, while still making healthy choices. If you have food-related migraine triggers, remember to adjust recipes accordingly.
