A 2020 study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (Germany) showed that individuals could burn twice as many calories per day if they ate breakfast. Your body’s absorption of essential nutrients, carbohydrates, fats, and more is faster in the morning and a well-balanced meal keeps you satiated longer.

However, many people don’t like eating breakfast, either because they’re always running out of time or don’t like breakfast foods. But that’s no reason to say no to a meal when you have so many options. Social media and the Internet, in general, have been abuzz with these breakfast recipes, so give them a try.

The Classic Avocado Toast

When in doubt, there’s nothing better than the basic avocado toast. Not only does it taste savoury, but you can customise it to your liking with any number of toppings. If the avocado is perfectly ripe, you should have no trouble spreading it evenly on your evenly toasted bread. Health coach Brittany Mullins makes her avocado toast unique by adding grated egg on top.

 

 

Avocados are a great source of potassium, high in fibre and have plenty of monounsaturated fats, and are ideal to add to your diet. You can add a drizzle of olive oil, which reduces inflammation and has plenty of antioxidants. Bread is a great source of carbohydrates and will keep you satiated for a couple of hours.

Chef Sanjeev Kapoor has the perfect remedy for summer days when you don’t want to be in the kitchen longer than necessary. He uses a combination of fruits, including grapes and pineapples, to perfect this delicious smoothie bowl, topped with other seasonal fruits.

 

 

Black grapes are rich in antioxidants, protecting you from diseases like cancer and diabetes. Pineapples aid digestion and are loaded with nutrients, giving you the perfect start to the morning. The fruits you end up using as the topping can further boost your well-being.

It’s a great way to get vegetables in your diet early in the morning and keeps you full until lunch too.
