Although we know that breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day, on many occasions, perhaps too many, we do not pay it the attention it deserves. We have breakfast in a hurry and anything, even, many times, we go to work without breakfast. A serious mistake.
We start the day badly, we don’t eat anything for breakfast and, although at first we don’t feel hungry, hunger will appear sooner or later. Then, probably, we will jump into eating any candy or bun that crosses our path.
Another problem with breakfast is that we often lack the imagination to make it appetizing and, in the end, we always end up having the same thing and bored of buttered toast and coffee.
Breakfast should account for between 20 and 25% of the total daily caloric intake. And since it is a significant energy proportion, it requires a dedication and an estimated time of about 15-20 minutes, so it is advisable to pay a minimum of attention to it. If not, it is very likely that we will end up having an insufficient or unhealthy breakfast, as happens when we have only a coffee, or eat a croissant or an ensaimada, on the way to the office or school.
For all these reasons, we propose a few ideas for your breakfast. So, every day of the week, you can have something different.
Monday: Coffee with milk + wholemeal toast with a drizzle of olive oil and sliced natural tomato + orange juice.
Tuesday: Bowl of cereals with milk + orange juice + a banana
Wednesday: Bowl of cocoa milk + wholemeal crackers + a plum
Thursday: Coffee with milk + fresh cheese toast with a drizzle of honey + a handful of walnuts
Friday: Orange juice + mini wholemeal sandwich with turkey ham and cream cheese + coffee with milk
Saturday: Mini tuna sandwich + yogurt + pineapple juice
Sunday: Coffee with milk + toast with oil, tomato and Iberian ham + a kiwi
Here are some breakfast ideas that you can adapt to your tastes. They are designed, above all, for those people whose breakfast is not the main meal of the day.
If you need to take fiber, we suggest the wholemeal version of bread and cereals. You can also choose fruits according to your preferences, as well as cereals, although if you want to reduce calories in your diet, it is preferable that you discard the sugary option.
