Eating a healthy breakfast is important to have a lot of energy for the day. When you wake up, you come out of a fast of often more than 10 hours, depending on the time you ate your last meal. So your body needs good food to function properly and start the day off right.

Ham and cheese omelet

You can’t go wrong with an omelet. While being a healthy breakfast, it only has five ingredients and it doesn’t take long to cook. Omelets have a good amount of protein that is needed for the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine. This chemical neurotransmitter plays an important role in motivation, mood, and concentration, which you need to be productive at school. Protein has a longer-lasting satiating effect than carbohydrates. Therefore, you will stay full longer and avoid #-morning cravings. Additionally, protein helps to slow the absorption of carbohydrates, which can prevent blood sugar spikes that lead to energy crashes.

Ricotta toast with herbs and tomato:

With the hot season just around the corner, why not treat yourself to a summer breakfast? All you need is a handful of herbs to mix with ricotta and lemon zest, then slice some fresh tomatoes. Spread the herb ricotta over some toasted bread and add the tomatoes. Drizzle your morning meal with a little bit of olive oil and season it with salt and pepper. And your breakfast is ready! While being relatively rich in protein and good lipids because of the ricotta, it also have veggies in it, which makes it a healthy option. This is also a good breakfast for vegetarians since there is no animal protein.

Gruel with oat drink 

This gruel will save you time in the morning because you have to meal prep it in the evening and keep it in the fridge during the night. All you need is to mix oatmeal with maple syrup, vanilla, and oat milk. When ready to serve, garnish to your liking with fruit sauce, granola, nut butter, or fresh, dried, or frozen fruit. Keeps for 3 days in the refrigerator.

Eating a healthy breakfast is really important for your well-being. So start your day off right and try one of these delicious morning meals!
