3 Healthy (Wegovy-Friendly) Breakfast Recipes

If you’re trying to lose weight, a healthy breakfast can set you up for a day of nutritious eating.

But if you’re on GLP-1 weight loss medication like Wegovy or Mounjaro, which acts as an appetite suppressant, you probably won’t feel hungry like you used to. This can make choosing a nutritious breakfast a challenge.

So if you don’t know what to eat – or you’re fed up of eating the same breakfast – try one of these three options instead. (Bonus: they can help alleviate common side effects of weight loss jabs.)

 

• • Porridge with fresh fruit

• • Chia seed pudding

• • Breakfast banana split
