Wholesome breakfast choices

It is a healthier alternative for rice or pasta. Quinoa comes in three varieties- whole grain white, red and black. It covers all nine essential amino acids which are required by your body for ideal health. A cup of quinoa holds about 8 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, iron, magnesium and omega 3 fatty acids to name a few. Quinoa can be eaten plain or with a drizzle of maple syrup and some dry fruits and nuts. It can also be taken as a salad topped with fruits or some fresh green vegetables.

• Muesli

Another great choice for a wholesome breakfast is Muesli, a dry cereal made up of toasted whole oats, nuts, fruit and wheat flakes. It is available in various forms in the markets such as toasted or untoasted muesli, fresh muesli, gluten-free muesli and granola.  Muesli contains less sugar compared to the breakfast cereals sold in the markets. It is rich in fiber, whole grains and provides a good source of antioxidants. Muesli can be taken with dried fruits, nuts and goes well with milk or yogurt.

• Organic Honey

This golden liquid works wonders as a nutritional and healthy component in your breakfast menu. Whether fused with your breakfast cereal or spread on toast, it gives a boost of natural energy as well as a push to your blood sugar level first thing in the morning.

• Fruit juice
