It is proven that starting your morning with the right foot will positively affect your attitude and helps you face the day with strength and focus. We know it.... if waking up 15 minutes earlier than usual and having a slow morning routine could be hard (especially for people who can't function before 10 am!), knowing that a delicious and healthy breakfast waits for you could be a stimulus for your motivation.

Here below our favorites (and yummiest!) breakfast combinations, to let yourself start your day with a balanced intake of good nutrients:

 

1. SMOOTHIE BOWL

…of course. Who doesn’t love them? The social media are filled with yummy recipes, and we can’t get enough to try new ones but what you may not know is that any self-respecting smoothie bowl should have a specific range of ingredients to give you the right intake of vitamins, proteins, healthy fats and carbs.

Here below the list of the unmissable components for a well-balanced breakfast:

• Thickening protein (nut butter, Greek yoghurt, chia seeds)
• Liquid (fresh juice, milk or not-dairy milk, coconut water)
• Powdered add-in (Superfoods, protein, collagen, cocoa, bee pollen)
• Fruit (banana, berries, peaches, avocado, kiwi) and/ or Vegetables (spinach, kale, lettuce, cucumber, pumpkin)
• Topping (nuts, granola, shredded coconut or chips, fresh or dried fruit, dark chocolate, seeds, vegan sweet syrups)

2. CAKE + TEA

If waking up in the morning is a challenge for you, and never have enough time to prepare the challenging breakfasts you are used to see on your Insta, we are sure this solution fits perfectly to you.

Once prepared, a well-preserved cake can last around 4/5 days (this statistic is not valid if you live with your bf!) so it means that for almost one week you won’t have to worry about it and sleep 10 minutes more. Think about it.

In addition, as we love flavored tea so much, we enjoyed in matching it to different bakery treats, to let your senses start a new day amazingly.

• Raw cereals or granola (no sugars added)
• Powdered add-on (Superfoods, protein, collagen, cocoa, bee pollen)

When rich in proteins, it has a high satiating power and reduces the sense of appetite, avoiding hunger pangs during the morning (keeping your weight under control). It permits to regulate blood sugars and helps to prevents diseases like diabetes.
