Daily Breakfast Ideas
I’m sure you have heard me say it so many times
before but I’m going to say it again, breakfast is such an important meal of
the day. You have been sleeping for 7 to 9 hours and your body has
digested the food that you ate the day before, so when you wake up in the
morning your body is looking for more food to digest. If you eat
something sweet like a donut for breakfast, your body will experience a sugar
rush and then a couple hours later a sugar crash. Sugary breakfasts will
not fill you up or satisfy you throughout the morning.
When you start your day right with a good healthy
breakfast, you are giving the body what it needs to be energised and healthy
all day long. So please don’t skip breakfast or start the day with some
unhealthy breakfast muffin and try out some of these ideas instead.
Why not try out some of these healthy breakfast
ideas. They are all super easy to make, delicious and nourishing so you have
some great options to start your day right.
Smoothies
The best thing about smoothies, is they are super easy to make and you can add in so many different things to them. Now we all know how much I love a green smoothie in the morning because they are a power punch of nutrients to the body first thing.
It’s so simple, but so good! Drinking green smoothies isn’t a diet, it’s a lifestyle. It’s about taking care of your body and staying healthy. The coolest thing about green smoothies is that you can pretty much pick whatever combination of fruit and greens that works for you and it will always be nutritious and effective.
Smoothies are great antioxidants, which help to prevent and repair damage to body tissues, our skin included. Vitamin C is one of the greatest antioxidants we have available, and it’s abundant in pineapple. You can try also avocado in your smoothie. The addition of avocado brings with it other skin-specific nutrients such as vitamins E, A and zinc. In fact, you could probably use this smoothie on your face as a beauty treatment. I use avocado for my hair or as a face mask.
I started experimenting with celery. I always loved celery, the flavour of celery is different but yet unique. I always loved smoothies ( I even worked at the fresh juice). My favourite is with vegetables. I have tried smoothie with many ingredients but my favourite is with celery, apple ( I used it because I do not want to use water or any other milk coconut water), carrots, or with spinach. Sometimes I use pineapple instead carrot. It is really up to you what you will use but trust me celery is the best ingredient. I will write you some healthy facts about celery
Celery is a great addition to your green smoothies. Celery may help with relieve inflammatory aliments such as asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Celery is also a good source of dietary fiber.
These pictures are mine, as you can see I try to use different flavour every time. I have put some other ingredients below, which you can try some smoothies by yourself.
