People's energy stores are almost completely emptied overnight, which is why they first have to be refilled in the morning. Of course, the best way to do this is with a balanced breakfast. Because if you pay attention to the right nutrients, you will help your body to get going quickly, stay full for hours, and avoid food cravings throughout the day.
To all morning suckers: a nutritious healthy breakfast can also contribute to a good mood 😀
3 tips for a better breakfast experience
With the following tips, you can improve your breakfast experience and do something good for your body.
1. Make time for your breakfast
You should take enough time for the really important things in life – a healthy breakfast is definitely one of them for us. Unfortunately, this doesn't always work, of course. We also like to press the snooze button on our alarm clock every now and then during the week and stay a few minutes longer before the hustle and bustle of everyday life grabs us.
To still get the most out of every morning and have enough time for breakfast, you can prepare your breakfast the day before, for example. Try our recipe for overnight oats and save yourself some time in the morning. Swallowing breakfast quickly is not only uncomfortable, but also unhealthy. Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly makes digestion much easier. Nutrients can also be absorbed better, and you get full faster and stay full longer.
Is there anything better than indulging in an extensive breakfast with your loved ones on the weekend? If it is difficult to take enough time during the week, you should definitely use the weekend for a cozy breakfast.
Our tip: Use the weekend as well to get ready for the week ahead. You can find countless recipe ideas on our blog, for example for a delicious breakfast pizza , cereal bars or berry slices. You can make these for your weekend breakfast and take everything you have with you to work.
2. The right mix of the best nutrients
Paying attention to the right nutrients in the morning helps, among other things, to start the day with enough energy and concentration. Therefore, put together a breakfast with a good mix of high-fiber foods, proteins, and healthy fats.
Sounds complicated? On the contrary! As with any meal, the colorful mix makes it. For example: yogurt with fresh fruits, cereals , nuts, and seeds.
High Fiber Foods
A high-sugar breakfast is responsible for getting hungry again a short time after eating. High-fiber foods, such as oatmeal and whole grains, on the other hand, ensure a long feeling of satiety, provide energy, and help to avoid food cravings. These migrate more slowly through our body, and it takes more time to digest them.
Proteins
Proteins have a variety of tasks. Similar to fiber, they keep you full for longer and prevent you from falling back on unhealthy snacks anytime soon. In addition, they are building materials for muscles and organs and help in the formation of hormones, the immune system, and serve as a transport substance. Proteins are found in foods like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, yogurt, and nuts.
If you move a lot in your everyday life and like to do sports, your body needs more energy. High-protein meals will help you do just that. Our Sport Range is characterized by an increased protein content and thus offers the perfect basis for an active everyday life.
Fats
Healthy fats are found in avocados, yogurt, and seeds, for example. In the case of healthy fats, a distinction is made between mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The former is found, for example, in avocados and vegetable oils, while the latter is found in yogurt, seeds, and nuts.
Healthy fats are easy to digest, help absorb vitamins, protect organs, and provide energy.
3. Eat enough and get going
A good day starts with a good breakfast. Plenty of it. To get your metabolism going, you can put a decent portion of a balanced breakfast on your plate.
If you have little to no appetite in the morning, try a light yogurt, cereal, or a smoothie with fresh fruit. You can also take that into your work wonderfully. For an extra boost of energy before lunch, you can take home-made cereal bars with you, for example.
Long, balanced, and a lot of breakfast, that doesn't sound so bad, does it? And on top of that, it's even very easy to implement. For more breakfast inspiration, feel free to visit our blog or Instagram page !
