How to Make the Perfect, Healthy Breakfast

How to Make the Perfect Breakfast 

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, and you should always try your best to treat yourself to a healthy, wholesome affair in the early hours of the day. When we think of brekkie, stables like instant coffee, cereal, and toast come to mind. If that is what you have for breakfast every morning, but a little mixing and matching can make your mornings more memorable. 

 

We’re not suggesting whipping up a gourmet meal fit for kings, but rather little steps you can take to help to achieve a more fulfilling and nurturing breakfast with Nutty Delights. By adding foods like nuts, seeds, and dried fruits to breakfast not only break the monotony but also offer a wide range of health benefits. 

Start Including Nuts & Seeds to your Breakfast

Nuts and seeds like almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, sunflower, and chia seeds offer up nutritional benefits such as reducing blood sugars, blood pressure, powerful sources of fiber, and monounsaturated fats as all as being robust antioxidants that can fend off any free radical that may take hold of your skin and immune system. Which is very important to ensure you’re consuming enough of in the winter months. 

Start your Mornings Off Right with Protein...

If you’re looking to introduce more protein in your diet and hunting for some sustainable sources of the nutrient, well nuts and seeds are a fabulous source of protein! Protein helps build muscle, helps maintain weight loss, and is great for your bones. It also keeps you feeling full and satiated. It is vital to make your breakfast as protein-dense as you can!
