We have all heard how breakfast
is the most important meal of the day
and how it is important to set the tone of the day right
and stay energised.
The problem?
Mornings are busy!
There are even days when crawling out of bed
becomes a tedious task so let’s not even
talk about a sit-down breakfast
when we are always running late
or are already in work mode.
Fixing up a gourmet style breakfast for yourself
is almost next to impossible.
But is skipping breakfast a wise thing to do?
Did you know that skipping breakfast
makes your metabolism slow, you are more likely
to feel an energy dip,
you start developing crazy carb cravings and
you might even end gaining weight.
Now, are you worried about
how you would make this work?
I have a simple mantra-
When life gets busy, make ahead recipes are a lifesaver.
So, here are some easy-peasy breakfast ideas
to get you started!
The super grain amaranth or rajgira
is the most underrated superfood in our country.
Rajgira/ Ramdana is a part of our fasting rituals
but there are numerous reasons why
they should be a part of your daily diet.
It has twice the amount of calcium when compared
to milk, is a major source of protein,
rich in fiber and has multiple vitamins and minerals.
Puffed rajgira grains are your ideal replacement
to the sugar laced cereal.
Here’s how to make your mornings more energised!
Puffed Rajgira- 3 tsp
Milk- 3/4th jar
Cocoa Powder- 1 tsp
Chopped Nuts- 1 tsp
Add 3 tsps of puffed rajgira in a mason jar,
fill the jar with milk, add some chopped nuts
and cocoa powder for that chocolatey palate feel
and you are good to go!
Eggs make an ideal breakfast and
is the most comfy and heart-warming ingredient to start
your day with.
They give your day a head start
with a complete protein profile, they give you the good kind of
fat and a boost of vitamins and minerals.
Now boiled eggs everyday can get boring.
So, try these amazing egg muffins
that can be eaten or stored in the refrigerator for
a later day.
Blend or whisk eggs with all your favorite ingredients.
I personally use
onions, garlic, spinach, corn and some cheese.
Any leftovers from the fridge are doable as well!
Whisk them together,
pour the mixture into muffin tins and bake for 15-20 mins.
They’ll be done in a jiffy and you are sorted for the whole week!
Apart from the fancy sounding name,
this can be an ideal antioxidant boost for your body
every morning.
A perfect combination of curd, fruit and nuts
this on the go breakfast is good
for your tummy, keeps your skin radiant, makes your
bones healthy and gives you a metabolism boost.
In a take away bowl,
add some fruit, layer it with curd and place your second fruit over it
Add some nuts, sabja seeds or granola over this
and you are good to go.
There will be days when you will run out of
your pre-prepped breakfast options leaving
you confused.
Worry not, we’ve got your back!
Toast a slice of bread, spread some fruit jam or nut butter on it,
chia seeds or flax seeds on top.
And here's your breakfast on the go.
