For those who still don't know breakfast it is the most important meal of the day, because as the word itself suggests it consists of breaking the fast from our hours of sleep. Its importance lies in the fact that from breakfast will come the nutrients necessary to start the day right and activate our body and mind. Furthermore, it is also one of the favourite foods of the diners, because it makes you feel satisfied and ready to face the day.
Breakfasts can vary greatly depending on each person, their dietary habits or tastes. Today from Astrid Tapería Orgánica we present to you 4 healthy breakfasts for an energetic morning.
Avocado toast with egg
Toast is one of the Spaniards' favourite options, and if you know what to top it with, it can become an ideal alternative for your first meal of the day. The avocado, rich in healthy fats and vitamin E, along with the egg, what does it contribute proteins and minerals such as phosphorus, selenium, iron, iodine and zinc, make the perfect combination for people who have very productive mornings and cannot spend too much time on complex preparations.
2. Banana porridge
This is another very good option for those who need to feel full first thing in the morning. Oats are rich in antioxidants, regulates sugar levels, and together with the banana, rich in fibre and potassium, amongst many other benefits, they’ll be the perfect choice for an energetic and active morning. You can add extra ingredients such as nuts or 100% peanut butter if you want an extra boost of energy.
This preparation takes a little more time so it will be a perfect option for those who prefer to get up early and cook first thing.
3. Yoghurt with seasonal fruit salad
This choice is designed for those who prefer a heavy dinner. Normally in these cases you wake up not very hungry and with a rather full stomach. But the importance of breakfast to avoid snacking between meals is essential, which is why this option is very good if what you want is a light and wholesome breakfast.
You can choose the fruits you like best, or seasonal fruit to ring the changes and avoid monotony in your breakfasts and also add chia seeds o sesame, o granola to increase the nutritional value.
4. Homemade jam toast with fresh cheese
For those with a sweeter tooth, the best alternative will be homemade jam. Remember that jam usually has high sugar content, so you need to monitor your intake of it, but it will be a good option for weekends when you want to treat yourself or take a break from other cooking. This provides energy, fats, is rich in fibre and will therefore help regulate bowel transit.
To complement your breakfasts, from Astrid Tapería Orgánica, we also recommend accompanying these preparations with a coffee, a tea, or if you prefer a fresh fruit juice, but always trying to ensure there is proportion and balance in the whole.
