10 tips and tools for a healthy Easter breakfast
Now that we have our Easter menus planned, let's look at some practical tips and tools to ensure that our Easter breakfast is not only healthy, but also stress-free and enjoyable:
1. Preparation and planning (meal preap)
Take the time to plan your meals in advance and prepare as much as possible in advance to reduce stress on Easter morning. Some things can also be made ahead of time.
2. Buy seasonal and local produce
Choose seasonal and local produce when possible, as it is often fresher and more nutritious than flown-in produce. avoid buying processed foods and added sugars.
3. Pay attention to vegetables, healthy fats and proteins
Make sure your breakfast has a good balance of vegetables, healthy fats, and protein to give you energy and keep you full until your next meal.
4. Start your day with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
Drink a glass of warm water with a squeeze of lemon juice in the morning to aid digestion and hydrate your body after a night of fasting. Apple cider vinegar even helps keep your blood sugar levels stable!
5. Take a walk before breakfast
Start your day with a refreshing walk to wake up your body and mind and get your digestion going.
6. Conscious eating/chewing 15 times
Take your time chewing your meal and consciously savoring each bite. Chewing at least 15 times not only helps your digestion, but also gives you a chance to feel full before you overeat.
7. Sit up straight
Take the time to sit at the table and sit upright while eating. This promotes healthy digestion and helps reduce stomach discomfort.
8. Use bitter products
Include bitter and sour ingredients such as chicory, arugula, watercress and dandelion in your meals, as these stimulate the production of digestive juices and aid digestion.
9. ENJOY!
Share your meal with loved ones and enjoy the flavors of your healthy Easter breakfast together. Sharing food creates a sense of connection and joy.
