Stewed Fruit
We can’t just eat anything for breakfast. It’s important to have a healthy and nutritious breakfast. Your breakfast shouldn’t be heavy, shouldn’t leave you stuffed and tired. So, don’t eat your breakfast like a king! 🙃 Breakfast is important meal of the day but not in quantity. It is the proper fuel to start the engine.
Breakfast shouldn’t be a meal where you consume sugar and excess fat, or too many calories. What you eat at breakfast can affect how you feel for hours afterwards.
We digest fruits much more quickly than other foods.
Here is a nice recipe for you to enjoy.
