Don't take the saying 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,' lightly. Try these easy to make breakfast recipes which will help keep you energized all morning.
After getting a good night's rest, your body needs to refuel and to ensure productivity throughout the day, your first meal of the day should be healthy, balanced, and nutritious. A strong cup of coffee with a slice of toast alone for breakfast is not the best solution. It is important to add ingredients that burn energy slowly like whole grains, fibre and proteins to keep you full for a longer time and a little bit of unsaturated fat. Completely avoidable are bad carbs that are full of sugar which can give you extreme highs and lows and saturated fat which builds up cholesterol.
So, along with your regular tea and coffee, try whipping up one of these easy breakfasts for a healthy morning routine that will give you the much necessary energy boost.
Oats - Packed with filling fibre this is the best diet for a staple breakfast. You can sweeten it with your choice of fruits and honey while for a spicy version make oats with salt and spices.
Smoothies - A quick-to-make breakfast option, smoothies made by blending chunks of fruits or green, leafy vegetables along with water or yoghurt is quite filling too.
Whole-grain cereals - Choose from whole-grain or bran cereals which have fibre along with essential nutrients like iron and protein. Mix in with skimmed milk with as little or no sugar added.
Toast with tomatoes - Toasted whole-grain bread topped with tomato slices, sprinkled with herbs like basil, thyme and pepper makes for a tasty breakfast treat.
Curds with fruits and nuts - If you can have curds in the morning, take a bowl of your favourite chopped fruits, add nuts and curds to it. Drizzle honey and add some mint for a refreshing salad.
Eggs - Remember the best time to eat eggs is for morning breakfast, so whip up an omelette with vegetables, fry your eggs or have them boiled, they are one protein-packed and heart-healthy food.
