Nutritious Breakfast Foods

March 7, 2022

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

It is essential to eat a nutritious and protein-rich breakfast for a healthy mind and body.

It is pretty common to skip breakfast with all the hustle and bustle. This is not advisable.

Well, there are some ways to have a wholesome bf.

Smoothies

Smoothies are easy to make and can be a super-comfy on-the-go food.
Smoothies can be made from fruits, veggies, and nuts.


Berries, tropical fruits, and bananas are common ingredients added. Regular milk or plant-based milk can be used for combining the elements.


Nuts, protein powder, or oats could be added to the smoothies for the protein part.
For some added sweetness, honey or dates could be mixed in together.
Simple yet nutritious smoothies top our list.

Eggs

Eggs are a powerhouse of nutrients.

They are protein-rich and contain a good amount of omega-3-also one of the best sources of choline.

Eggs can be cooked in many ways. This humble food can be had every morning, whether it be hard-boiled, sunny side up or an omelet.

To mix things up a little, you could add some veggies, mushrooms, and herbs to your omelet to make it even more nutrient-rich.

Best way to get your protein in the morning!

Millets

There is a wide range of millets available in the market.

Millets are high in protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and minerals, particularly magnesium, copper, and phosphorous. This contributes to lowering cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

Body cells and tissues can also repair themselves with the regular consumption of millets. 

Millet pancakes or a mixed millets porridge are great options for a healthy breakfast.

Lentils

Lentils are edible legume seeds that come in different shapes and colors.

They provide good heart health, stabilize blood sugars, and aid in maintaining an optimum weight.

Lentil soups with added veggies and green are very nourishing. You can make these soups the previous day and heat them the next day. They stay good in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Lentil crepe is another interesting dish that can be made.

Adding lentils daily to your diet is highly beneficial to the digestive system.

Oats

Oatmeal is a portion of famous breakfast food.

This grain is famous for its cholesterol-reducing properties.

Steel-cut rolled, whole or Scottish, all types of oats are healthy for the body.

Oats can be had as a porridge with dry fruits and nuts. These grains can also be hearty oatmeal with different fruits or berries.

Rich in fiber and essential nutrients, this is a superfood indeed!

Fruits

Fruits are rich in vitamins and antioxidants.

Fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and folate are among the nutrients that fruits provide for the health and maintenance of the body.

There is a wide variety of fruits available in the markets. A fruit bowl made of a mix of fruits is an energy booster.

It is best to eat seasonal fruits since they are delivered fresh.

You can add chia seeds or other nuts to your fruit bowl for a dose of protein.

Greek Yogurt

Regular consumption of Greek yogurt has been shown to strengthen the immune system.

It is also rich in calcium and probiotics. Calcium is vital for bone health, and probiotics are crucial for the normal functioning of the bowel system.

Greek yogurt can be had with berries and nuts. Drizzle some honey for some sweetness.

The flavored ones available in the supermarkets should be avoided since they contain a lot of sugar.

Whole Wheat Avocado Toast

Choosing the right kind of carbs for breakfast can dramatically affect the meal’s healthiness.

It’s a simple rule of thumb to remember that whole wheat and other whole grains are richer in fiber and nutrients than white, refined grains.

Avocados are also a good source of folate, which improves mood.


Spread some mashed avocado on your whole meal toast and sprinkle some pepper & salt with a dash of lime juice for a filling breakfast.


Plenty of other nutrient-dense foods could be had for breakfast.
