Since we know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we should consider to eat healthy in the mornings because this will assure us to feel better and to be able to manage the day. However, some need to or want to eat a sweet breakfast but that is not a problem! You can still have healthy and sweet breakfasts.
You might ask, how is that possible? Let me explain. There are several fruits which have a super sweet flavour like bananas or raspberries. Those can be used without compunction. You can also use dried fruits like apricots, coconut chips or especially dates as they are often referred to have a caramel taste.
Additionally, adding nuts or even nutbutters (addictive!) to your breakfast will give you the essential proteins, fiber and healthy fats you need. Nuts are nutritious and the source of energy. Although they might have many calorins, you still eat them because they are healthy and bring along many benefits like protecting you from heart diseases and of course take in those calorins and fats are better than those from fast and junk foods. Furthermore you do not need to buy those expensive nutbutters in shops because you can easily prepare your own nutbutters if you have a good blender (always a good investment).
There are also some sweet stuff you should always have at home. I recommend you to substitute agave syrup by honey. Ok, you can use honey and also sugar beetroot syrup but I also like to usw agave since it has a nice taste. You may also find many internet websites which predict that agave is not healthy but rather dangerous but I do not believe in them. It is up to you if you want to skip everything which might be unhealthy but then you will not have so much to eat. Another natural sweetener are bee pollen. They might be a little expensive but it is worth having them. You just need a little sprinkle of bee pollen and your meal will be so sweet.
But you can also put chocolate cream on your bread as well. Try to use a little of it because the amount of consuming such creams is the important fact. If you just eat a spoonful, that is ok! Nevertheless a dark chocolate cream is much better than nutella. It is always better to eat the darker one. You can even buy cacao nibs which are pure cacao beans thus also bitter but you will like them!
Examples of combination for a sweet breakfast.
- One bread slice with banana coins and date sticks, drizzled with hemp butter and bee pollen.
- Another bread slice with banana coins and date sticks, drizzled with dark choco cream and coconut chips.
- The next with banana coins with coconut sugar and sprinkled chopped almonds.
- The last one with banana coins, drizzled tahini and a sprinkle of muskat powder.
Hemp seeds and butter contain essential amino acids and are rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Those need the human body because it cannot produce 8 from 21 amino acids, thus, it has to be intaken with foods.
Tahini is a pure sesame paste full of vitamins (esp. B1, B2 and B6) and calcium. I always buy a glas of tahini in turkish or arabic shops, think they are cheaper there than elsewhere.
Coconut sugar has a kind of caramel taste, containing potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron but also rich in vitamins and amino acids.
So do you need more suggestions? I think that it will be so easy to eat a sweet and healthy breakfast as you now know the benefits of these ingredients.
Bon appétit!
I have always wondered how the people on Instagram create such delicious treats. They come up with new recipes and creations like a sweet breakfast pizza. However, using a friying pan and later the oven was too much work for me because I am kind of lazy in the mornings. Thus, I created my own breakfast pizza recipe and it turned amazing! It is so easy because you just need an oven and some ingredients!
