How to accustom yourself to breakfast. Recipes for a cheerful and active morning.
#1. Think about what could motivate you to have breakfast on time. What pleasant things could you find in this daily morning ritual? It is possible to rearrange the table so that during a meal you have a beautiful view from the window. Maybe for you, cooking breakfast is one of the ways to be alone with yourself. Investigate your motivation.
#2. Look for ideas for simple breakfasts.
#3. Make a list of breakfasts for the week.
#4. Buy the necessary products or order delivery for the ideas you have written down.
#5. Prepare everything you need in the evening: you can cut vegetables, rinse lettuce leaves or cook what you only need to warm up in the morning.
#6. Make your breakfast beautiful and appetizing — the visual component is also important.
#7. When the habit of having breakfast in the morning becomes stable, try to experiment: add new ingredients to the usual, spices, combine what seemed incongruous: for example, lettuce leaves and sweet plum/pumpkin.
#8. Organize a comfortable sleep mode to get enough sleep and allocate time for breakfast.
#9. Don’t scold yourself if something goes wrong on someday and you don’t have breakfast. Just keep trying.
What is healthy to eat for breakfast
Let’s analyze the principles that will help you prepare the right breakfast:
a./ Add slow carbohydrates — they give us energy for a long time. What could it be:
whole grain porridge: oatmeal, buckwheat, millet, unprocessed rice, spelled;
dry breakfast without sugar;
wholegrain bread — we are looking for wallpaper or peeled flour in the composition on the label.
b./ For satiety, we need protein: eggs, unsweetened yogurt, nuts, a little cheese, cottage cheese, lean meat or fish, legumes, and tofu.
c./ Vegetables, greens, fruits, berries, dried fruits — the brighter and more diverse, the better — for good mood and well-being.
Regardless of what kind of work you have, mainly with physical or mental labor, breakfast should be balanced: contain slow carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats, and fiber (vegetables or fruits).
