Breakfast: how to make it healthier

The alarm clock rings and in many homes the “morning rush” begins. You lie on and the minutes tick by. The result: quick, the kid should eat something before leaving! But eating quickly and badly is not the best thing. So, what can we do to improve it?

The good news is, there are healthy breakfast options suitable for all tastes. If you waken up hungry, make space for your morning meal with the help of these examples:

If you are one of those people who gets up with plenty of time and likes to innovate:

• Scrambled eggs: accompanied by fruit and a slice of brown bread.
• Oatcakes and egg: covered with avocado or pieces of fruit.

If, despite getting up early, you are more traditional:

• A bowl of natural yogurt with (sugar free) cornflakes.
• Banana milkshake with oat flakes and cinnamon.
• Toasted brown bread with cottage cheese and raspberries.

If you are one of those who likes to stay in bed for 5 more minutes and are then short of time:

• Natural yogurt with cocoa powder and cinnamon.  +Walnuts and banana for the road.
• A class of dairy or non-dairy milk. + Cashew nuts and dates for the road.

If, on the other hand, you waken up hungry: prepare a healthy snack for mid-morning. 

In general it’s a good idea to:

• Include some fruit.
• Replace the usual breakfast cereals for other sugar-free ones.
• Enrich with cocoa powder, cinnamon, crushed dried fruits, and grated coconut...
• Start eating brown bread.   Satisfy your appetite plus it’s healthier.
• Try out new things.
