Starting your morning off right can make all the difference in how your day unfolds, setting the tone for a successful and energized day ahead. Don’t have a solid morning routine? Fear not. Bob Evans^®, a leader in providing high-quality farm-fresh, quick-to-table food including its flagship Bob Evans sausage, knows the importance of starting your day off on the right foot. Check out its five expert tips to kick-start your morning and tackle whatever challenges life throws your way.

1. Wake up at the same time every day

A great morning starts with consistency. Make it a habit to wake up every morning at the same time. Doing so can increase your alertness and mood so you can start the day on an energetic and positive note. It may be tough at first, but once you’ve established a solid morning wake-up time, you’ll be able to feel the difference throughout your whole day.

2. Embrace the power of breakfast

Never skip breakfast! When you eat a hearty breakfast, you’re providing your body with the essential fuel to kick-start your metabolism and help you power through even the busiest days.

Choose a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast food like Bob Evans^® Sausage. Made with premium cuts of pork and available in a range of flavors from Original to Brown Sugar and Honey and Zesty Hot, you’ll start your day with a full belly and a smile.

3. Double down on protein

Not just any breakfast will do. You’ll want to start the day off with protein to keep you satisfied and improve your focus. Make sure to include foods rich in protein — like eggs — to sustain your energy levels so you can easily manage all your daily tasks.

To make quick and delicious egg-based breakfasts, use a product like Bob Evans^® Liquid Egg Whites. This high-protein breakfast staple is made from real eggs and provides 5 grams of protein per serving. You can find a variety of breakfast recipes on eMeals’ Worth the Wake Up landing page.

4. Get some sun

Exposure to morning light helps regulate your circadian rhythm and makes you feel more alert. Whether it's opening the blinds, a stroll around the block or enjoying breakfast on your patio, soaking up the morning sun can improve your mood.

5. Move your body

Revitalize your body and mind with some light physical activity in the morning. Consider starting the day with gentle stretching, a brisk walk or a short yoga session to get your blood flowing and stimulate your senses. You’ll feel more focused, productive and lively.

Get ready for a great morning and an even better day. Using these five tips, you can transform your morning and feel ready to seize the day.
