Lately, I have been following with interest a group of nutritionists who propose staying fit starting from a healthy breakfast. This implies starting the day with a good source of complex carbohydrates like whole-grain bread, unsweetened cereals, or oatmeal, a portion of protein such as natural or Greek yogurt, ricotta, plant-based milk, etc., and vitamins, minerals offered by fresh seasonal fruit! For me, as this meal represents a real ritual, it was like rediscovering a different way to satisfy my taste buds! Because once, the cappuccino and cookies solution, however homemade or purchased choosing the simplest and most genuine possible, was my only choice! Now, however, I try to vary during the week with quick solutions but more balanced from a nutritional point of view! Occasionally, I allow myself a cookie with coffee, but it is no longer the only way I prepare breakfast, and the beauty is that I do not miss the cookies at all! This tower made with whole-grain rusks, for example, is very satisfying and is one of the most valid proposals I’ve tried, which I want to share with anyone who cares about their physical well-being! It is prepared in five minutes and does not require any cooking! You just have to create a layering by alternating the rusks previously softened in plant-based milk with Greek yogurt and a hint of homemade tahini. As I have already explained many times, it is a cream made from roasted sesame seeds that is quite nutritious and caloric, so you only need a tiny amount to add flavor and provide our body with calcium, proteins, minerals, Omega 3, and Omega 6. To complete this delicious and genuine tower, finally, a handful of blueberries, a source of antioxidants, and if you like, a scant tablespoon of agave syrup for a touch of sweetness without overdoing it with sugars! Try it in combination with a malt and barley drink or even with oat milk. It will be a perfect boost, ensuring a sense of satiety until the next meal, avoiding snacking during the morning! The servings are for one or at most two people, so they should be doubled for more family members or, if you prefer, you can reduce the layers to just two.
