Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, accounting for 20% of our daily caloric needs, but we don’t always know how to manage and enjoy it in a nutritionally balanced way! Foods with a low glycemic index should be preferred to avoid the problem of nervous hunger and harmful blood sugar spikes. So, go for a hearty and healthy breakfast to ensure the right energy! After this meal, the body wakes up, hormones regularize, and metabolism is reactivated. This is really important for maintaining a healthy weight, as the body is ready to receive the calories from food, making it easier to maintain a balance in subsequent meals, especially if you are on a diet. After the tower with yogurt and blueberries, here is another delicious alternative that evokes one of the quintessential Italian desserts, tiramisu! Of course, fit! The base is the same: whole grain toast softened in milk and coffee and layered with Greek yogurt, sprinkled with cocoa powder, and dark chocolate shavings. Finally, a touch of homemade tahini and more chocolate shavings. I then added a handful of fresh fruit, but it’s absolutely optional. Paired with a beverage of your choice, this tower will give you the right boost to face the day and a sense of fullness until the next meal!

If, like me, you love paying attention to your diet from the first meal of the day, try these surprisingly satisfying and nutritious alternatives:
