If you like to experiment and want every day to start in a new way, this article is for you. After all, the first meal sets the tone for the day. But breakfast options are very diverse. In many ways, they depend on the person and his eating habits. Someone has a hearty breakfast because a day full of hard physical work awaits him. Others have a bite of coffee with a croissant. An hour after such a breakfast, I want to eat again. But there are situations when meals are held in unusual conditions. Serving fried potatoes in bed is somehow not comme il faut. And what to put in a backpack to a schoolboy? How to have breakfast on the road or in nature? What if you are on a diet - what should a morning meal be like? Let's look at a variety of breakfast options. In this article you will find many interesting ideas that will help you to make the morning meal bright, memorable, and tasty.
Breakfast options for children
How to feed a child before sending him to school? This question is asked by many parents. Nutritionists recommend using foods containing slow carbohydrates for the schoolchild's morning meal (especially the lower grades). Breakfast will then be longer digested, better absorbed and support a feeling of satiety. Parents who obey nutritionists leave positive feedback about these types of breakfast. The child is not distracted by all sorts of "Sneakers" and chips. In addition, the student’s breakfast should saturate the brain well and increase efficiency. And that means we cannot do without milk porridges and cottage cheese casseroles.
Consider the main options for breakfast for a child :
- If boiled rice remains in the evening , mix the cottage cheese with egg and sugar with it. Lubricate the pan with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. In this form, put the mass and bake at 200 degrees in the oven for half an hour.
Have breakfast with the whole family
If the cottage cheese casserole option does not suit you, or the process of cooking it seems to you a long time, we will try other recipes. Here are some good breakfast options that will appeal to both adults and children:
- In a deep frying pan, greased, cut into small cubes one hundred grams of cheese. We put 2 tomatoes on it, cut into circles. Beat six eggs and a glass of milk separately. Salt this mixture, season with chopped fresh herbs. Pour into a pan and bake an omelet. We’ll serve coffee and toast to this dish. Separately put the butter, jam.
- If you are used to starting the morning with porridge, then oatmeal will be much tastier if, instead of boiling water, pour the flakes with boiling milk. Reviews say that children will eat it more willingly, if you add raisins, nuts, berries.
- You can cook banana porridge if you knead this fruit and mix in a blender with a portion of the finished oatmeal.
Romantic breakfast in bed
This nontrivial meal needs at least a beautiful tray and has its own rules:
- First: no forks. As many dishes as you can take with your hands and eat.
- Second: the style of presentation - romance should go through everything.
- Third: Romatic breakfast dishes are prepared quickly. After all, your beloved will not lie and wait an hour and a half until you bring a tray with a meal.
So what are the options for breakfast in bed? Reviews claim that coffee - invigorating and aromatic - is required. To him optional creamer with milk. Vitamin juices will also give you vitality. Appetizing hot toasts, and to them - cottage cheese, mazarella, ricotta. You can cook fried eggs. But do not rush to bring a frying pan to bed! Put the scrambled eggs in a bowl of halves of bell pepper. Do not forget about the dessert for your beloved. Here you can not be wiser and get by with a factory product - croissants, donuts, muffins.
Hearty breakfast
And if there is a full day ahead ahead or hard physical work? It is necessary to saturate the body with protein and fiber. But hearty burgers or french fries are not the most ideal breakfast options for men. If you already have meat, then it is best served in a salad. In the early morning, our stomach is not yet ready to digest heavy foods. Therefore, it is worth giving up fast food (even cooked with your own hands). But back to the salads. Here is a recipe for one of them:
- Cut tomato, cucumber, ten olives, a handful of arugula and a little feta cheese. Season the ingredients with olive oil. Liver - beef is preferable, but pork is also suitable - cut into slices and fry for three to five minutes. We spread the offal on the salad, pour the resulting juice over the dish.
There are many more recipes for meat salads. Experienced culinary experts advise in reviews that if a man loves eggs, then you can serve an omelet with bacon.
Everyday breakfasts. Some interesting ideas
Unfortunately, our working day is designed so that we can devote a maximum of fifteen minutes to a morning meal. And just as much time to cook it. But this does not mean at all that from Monday to Friday we are doomed to have breakfast with ordinary fried eggs or boiled sausages. If the process of preparing a meal is approached correctly, then we will all be in time and will not be late for work. Where do we start? The easiest breakfast options for every day are a variety of sandwiches. Bearing in mind that something milk must be present at breakfast, we make canapes with cottage cheese :
- Cheese mass can be made in the evening. Take cottage cheese, mix it with sour cream and chopped herbs, salt to taste. In the morning, put this sandwich mass on hot toasts, decorate with cucumber, radish or olives. Serve with black coffee or green tea.
Eating wisely
It is important that in the morning our body receives not only enough calories to “stretch out” before dinner, but also all the necessary vitamins and minerals. Breakfast options with proper nutrition are not so limited. You can include lean meat and fish in your morning diet. The main thing is that they fit with vegetables. And again we return to the topic of salads. This time - from cold smoked mackerel. This fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to brain activity. And this is very necessary for mental workers:
- For the dish "Sea open spaces" you need to stock up in the evening with one hundred grams of boiled rice. Cooking it in the morning is too long. Also in the evening you can boil hard-boiled three eggs. In the morning, it remains to peel and chop three cucumbers, cut one hundred grams of fish. Eggs will peel and mash. Mix with rice. Season with sour cream and garnish with parsley.
We eat elegantly
Often, breakfast options with proper nutrition include poached eggs on the menu. They are broken into boiling salted water. Fry in the toaster black "Borodino" bread. Spread on it a delicious and fresh “Mozzarella”. Under the conditions of import substitution, ordinary fat-free cottage cheese may also be suitable. And we already put poached on it. Another option is “right fried eggs”. Absolutely non-greasy poached poached with a “ribbon” of fresh cucumber. And if you want to add calories, add another slice of crispy fried bacon. And how to make the right omelet? Here's an interesting microwave recipe:
- Lubricate the cup with oil. Shake the eggs with milk. At the bottom of the cup we put pieces of cheese, chopped vegetables. Fill with egg mass. Put croutons on top. Bake in the microwave until the omelet is ready.
Diet Breakfast Options
For those who follow the figure, it is very important not to go too far with calories. And for those who are concerned about various diseases, doctors prescribe a strict diet. But this does not mean that meals become scarce or tasteless. You just need to consider the options for the right breakfast. Menu for dieters:
- Option 1. Omelet of three proteins and one yolk with skim milk, as well as oatmeal steamed with boiling water;
- Option 2: boiled green beans, a whole grain bread sandwich with cheese, fresh fruit;
- Option 3. As an alternative, try a salad with poultry breast, radish and egg with lemon juice dressing, and in addition - a glass of kefir;
- Option 4: boiled fish and vegetables, two toasts, cocoa.
- Option 5 of a delicious diet breakfast: two soft-boiled eggs, a sandwich from a loaf of bread with tomato and chicken salad.
Eat right - hearty, tasty and healthy!
