Is your bowl of morning cereals leave you hungry? It may be time to give him a little boost. Good news: an easy -to -find ingredient can completely change the situation.
You know: breakfast is the meal that gives the tone of the day. And many rely on a good bowl of cereals to start on the right foot. But now, if we don’t pay attention, this meal can quickly turn into a sweet bomb.
Flocons, crisp muesli, fruit petals, dark chocolate granola … Even organic or “without added” versions may not be up to par. Indeed, the problem with most cereals is their glycemic index. They skyrocket blood sugar, then make it fall, which causes cravings and fatigue. Result: you are hungry 2 hours later and you open the cupboard with sweet cakes. To transform this bowl into a real full breakfast, just add a simple, natural and nutrient food. According to Jessica Balls, dietician and journalist for online magazine Eatingwellan ingredient deserves a real place in your bowl of cereals. And no, we are not talking about a magic powder, nor a super-alterment that is not found. These are simply red berries. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and currants do wonders. “Adding frozen red fruits to your cereals is a simple and economical solution to improve their nutritional value and their flavor,” explains the professional. Here is why it’s the perfect boost for your breakfast. First, they are rich in antioxidants and low in calories and sugar. Also, they are full of fibers, which slows the absorption of cereal sugar, so you will have less cravings at 10 a.m. The berries also offer a real source of vitamin C, ideal for starting the day with energy.
So add a handful of red fruits to your oats or granola flakes, then a spoon of Greek or Skyr yogurt. You will get a gourmet and nutritionally complete breakfast.
