A Soft Morning Routine for Sensitive Souls (and bellies)
What I Eat in the Morning for a Happy Belly and Healthy Start
Mornings set the tone for my whole day, so I’ve learned to be gentle with my routine; especially when it comes to what I eat. I used to struggle with bloating, fatigue, and feeling “off” before noon. Over time, I’ve discovered a few simple habits and products that make my mornings feel calm, nourishing, and energized.
Here’s my current go-to morning routine for a happy belly and a healthier day:
Everyday Dose Mushroom Coffee
I start my day with either mushroom coffee or a soothing cup of herbal tea. It gives me a gentle boost without the jitters of regular coffee. Mushroom coffee is rich in adaptogens and feels more grounding and nourishing for my system.
Everyday Dose Coffee+
I use this electric tea kettle every morning to quickly heat water—it’s fast, easy, and kind of a ritual at this point. There’s something about starting the day with a warm drink that instantly calms my nervous system and gets me centered.

2. Nutpods: Creamy, Dairy-Free Goodness
I add a splash of Nutpods non-dairy creamer. It’s creamy without any weird aftertaste, and my gut seems to love it more than regular milk. Cinnamon Churro is my favorite!

3. Stevia: Natural Sweetness Without the Crash
I’ll sweeten my tea or coffee with stevia instead of sugar. It’s gentle on my blood sugar and doesn’t leave me with that midday energy crash. This is my favorite tasting stevia I have come across.

4. Whey Protein: Light but Filling
I’ll blend a quick smoothie with whey protein powder, along with banana, almond milk and spinach. It’s easy on my stomach and keeps me full without feeling heavy. Promix is my favorite brand. Chocolate is always a delicious choice, but strawberry milk is pretty refreshing, as well!
I use my Nutribullet to blend everything. Super fast, easy to clean, and perfect for busy mornings.
