Healthy quick milkshakes and smoothies for breakfast

Seasonal fruits are always in abundance in the market. They should always feature on your shopping list as well. This is because fruits are one of the easiest way to top up on antioxidants to build your immune system and fiber to keep your digestive tract healthy. 25 to 30 g of fiber is the recommended daily allowance of an adult per day. Begin adding in fiber to your meal right from breakfast to catch up on this need.

Combine fruits with milk or curd and they will satiate you for hours. Remember to not add sugar as it is highly refined and devoid of nutrients. Feel free to add a teaspoon of honey if you wish to. Alternatively sweeten these drinks with dates.

Quick healthy rotis and parathas for breakfast

Rotis and parathas are considered as staple food in India. Choose from the variety of flours available and do not forget to add some veggies for that nourishing touch. Avoid the use of maida as it is refined and doesn’t contribute any nutrients to your meals. Also bear in mind the amount of fat used for cooking. Excess fat for cooking will nullify the other healthy ingredients.
