A nutritious breakfast can be a great start to your day.
A healthy, tasty breakfast will fill you with energy, improve your mood.
What makes a breakfast healthy?
It generally means a combination of complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein and a small amount of healthy fat.
Complex carbs such as whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits and vegetables help replenish energy stores depleted overnight and provide vitamins, minerals and fiber — which helps you feel full longer.
Adding in lean proteins, which are rich in vitamins and minerals, also helps you delay hunger. One example is low-fat dairy products, which are important sources of vitamins A and D, calcium, and potassium.
Ingredients for a healthy breakfast are:
- Whole grains
- Eggs, lean meat, legumes and nuts.
- Low-fat dairy — Milk, plain or low-sugar yogurts, and low-fat cheeses, such as cottage cheese and natural cheeses.
- Fruits and vegetables — Fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, 100 percent juice drinks without added sugar, and fruit and vegetable smoothies.
