Are you one of those morning persons who often leave the house in the morning without anything to eat? Or are you lacking inspiration for a delicious and healthy food for breakfast in the morning? Well, stop it!
In this post, we’ve gathered all the healthy food for breakfast recipes that are out there. In addition, you will learn why a healthy breakfast is so essential and which recipes are more suitable for a quick breakfast or better for a hearty breakfast.
Why is a healthy food for breakfast so important?
Without a doubt, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and a healthy breakfast can actually help you lose weight. During the night, your body consumes almost half of the calories used during the day. Therefore, empty energy stores must be refilled in the morning.
A perfect breakfast consists of a combination of complex carbohydrates (e.g. oatmeal), protein (e.g. low-fat curd cheese), vitamins and healthy fats (e.g. avocado). Below we have provided a list of foods that are particularly suitable for a healthy breakfast.
