As they say, having a hearty breakfast is the key to a healthy day that will lead to a healthier life (which is true). But wouldn't it be much better if you are going to be consistent in eating healthy throughout the day? Of course it is. And in this article, I am going to show you 5 different healthy morning snacks.
One of the best healthy morning snacks is a fresh fruit smoothie. Not only it is full of nutrition, it is also easy to prepare and you can have a wide selection of fruits to choose from so you wont get bored with just one smoothie taste. All you need is a blender, a wide selection of fruits, fruit juices and some other optional ingredients such as yogurt, protein powder, etc. All you need to do is toss in your favorite fruit of the moment, fruit juice, and optional ingredients in the blender. Wait for a few minutes and then you are done!
If you are not in the mood to prepare a smoothie, then a bowl of fresh fruit salad will do the trick. Simply slice a group of your favorite fruits (apple, mango, banana, pineapple, and berries) into bite sized chunks. Add some fresh yogurt then enjoy!
Stewed fruits is also a good choice, since it can be preserved in the fridge for a couple of days without spoiling it. To prepare, slice some apples and pears. Then add some dried fruits like raisins and toss some apple juice or water and turn on the heat with low temperature. To taste, add some ginger or cinnamon powder. You can pair it with yogurt or cottage cheese.
You can also have a bowl oatmeal-based cereal in the morning. This type of cereal is low in glycemic-content which means that it can be absorbed and digested slowly in the body. Have a serving of oatmeal with sugar or dried fruits to taste and you will keep yourself off from hunger until lunchtime.
Last on the list of healthy morning snacks is a serving of frozen berries. Just simply put berries in the freezer and defrost it at night before you eat it. It is best when you serve it with a dash of muesli or blend it in a smoothie. To taste, add some sugar or honey.
There you go, five different yet equally healthy morning snacks to start your day right. Always remember that you need your nutrition as you get older so eat wisely! You can get some great breakfast recipes from the product recipe books found on our site.
