Imagine a cold morning, the sun is slowly rising and a warm cup of tea is beside your bed. What could be better than treating yourself to a warm, delicious and nutritious breakfast? Which will get you through the day warm and energized?
This breakfast is not only great for your taste buds, but also for your body. With a combination of healthy ingredients such as pure coconut oil, oat flakes, teff flakes, coconut milk, protein powder and the delicious taste of organic pear and cocoa powder, you will treat yourself to a rich source of nutrients to start your day right.
A hot breakfast allows your digestive system to get off to a leisurely start. As a result, nutrients are better absorbed and it is nicer for your stomach and spleen, which are active in the morning according to the organ clock. Moreover, a hot breakfast can help boost your metabolism. In addition, it saves your body energy: your body does not have to bring the food to body temperature first.
By further choosing healthy ingredients such as coconut oil, oat flakes and protein powder, you provide your body with essential nutrients which helps you stay satiated until lunch. By adding protein powder, it can also contribute to muscle recovery and good start to the day after a night of rest.
