A healthy breakfast full of nutrients is a great start to the day. It helps you feel full for longer and reduces the urge to snack. But what does a healthy breakfast actually look like?
With these tips, you can create a strong start to your day:
-
Take your time – Make sure you have a moment to sit down and focus on your food.
-
Variety – A sandwich with cheese is fine, but switch it up sometimes with different spreads or a dairy-based breakfast. You can also vary toppings like fruit or yogurt extras.
-
Stay full – A satisfying breakfast includes protein, fats, and fiber. You’ll notice that a sandwich with (peanut) butter, egg, yogurt with nuts, or a cracker with avocado is more filling than a biscuit with jam or fruity yogurt.
-
Choose whole grains – We know fiber is healthy. Getting a good amount in the morning supports digestion. So go for whole grain products, fruits, and oats.
-
Drink something too – After a night of losing fluids, it’s important to rehydrate in the morning. Alongside your coffee or tea, drink a large glass of water to start your day hydrated.
