Champion make-ahead breakfast: Overnight Oats with chia seeds, fruits, and nuts
First up, we have Overnight Oats. This is the champion of make-ahead breakfasts. Before you hit the hay, simply combine rolled oats, milk (dairy or non-dairy), chia seeds, a touch of sweetener like honey or maple syrup, and your favourite mix-ins (berries, nuts, seeds) in a jar or container.
Pop it in the fridge, and in the morning, breakfast is ready to grab and go! The oats soften overnight, creating a creamy, delicious porridge-like texture. Chia seeds add a boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fibre, keeping you feeling full and satisfied.
Customise it each night with different fruits and nut butter for variety. It is so convenient and has a low cost.
Quick and versatile smoothie recipe for a nutritious boost
Next, we have the humble but mighty Smoothie. The ultimate quick fix. Toss some frozen fruits (berries, banana, mango work great), spinach or kale (don't worry, you won't taste it!), a scoop of protein powder (optional), and liquid (water, milk, or yogurt) into a blender.
Whizz it up until smooth, and voila! A nutritional powerhouse in a glass. Smoothies are incredibly versatile – experiment with different combinations to find your perfect blend. Add a spoonful of peanut butter for extra protein and healthy fats, or a squeeze of lemon juice for a zingy flavour.
Clean-up is easy, just rinse out the blender! You will feel really satisfied and it takes less than 5 minutes to make.
Poha: Savoury breakfast staple, easy to customize, low calorie diet option
Our third delightful option is good old Poha. A savoury breakfast staple. Poha, or flattened rice, is a light and easy-to-digest breakfast option. Soak the poha in water for a few minutes, then temper it with mustard seeds, curry leaves, onions, and your favourite spices (turmeric, chilli powder).
Add some peanuts for crunch and a squeeze of lemon juice for freshness. Poha is a great source of carbohydrates for energy and is relatively low in calories. Plus, it's super customisable – add vegetables like peas, potatoes, or carrots for extra nutrients. It is a low calorie diet food also.

Add chopped onions, vegetables (carrots, peas, beans), and water, and cook until the sooji is soft and fluffy. Finish it off with a sprinkle of coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice. Upma is a good source of energy and fibre, keeping you feeling full and satisfied.
It's also a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables into your diet. It can be cooked quickly and is delicious.
Quick and nutritious snack: whole-wheat bread, peanut butter, banana slices, chia seeds
