Breakfast should represent 20% of the daily caloric intake (about 400 cal for women and 550 cal for men with an active lifestyle) and provide energy sources for rapid use together with slower sources of disposal, to prevent hypoglycaemia and the sense of reactive hunger and to modulate the sense of satiety quickly and throughout the day. Breakfast should also introduce a different variety of foods, in order to guarantee to the body the right amount of both macronutrients and micronutrients. For this reason, brioche and sweets are not the best option. They have too many fats, often saturated, sugars and no proteins, minerals or vitamins. Our choice, which we propose here, is the perfect combination of taste and simplicity of execution and numerous health benefits.
It all begins with yoghurt
When we talk about a complete meal, we cannot miss adding seeds and nuts: almonds are great for skin and mood, nuts for the heart, pumpkin seeds for the reproductive system and the immune system, flax seeds for the intestine and hemp seeds for muscles and bones. A nice handful of our homemade muesli every day provides much of the beneficial substances necessary for our body to function well.
