5 easy recipes to try

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it provides the body with energy for the daily routine. We must be very conscious while selecting our breakfast menu because the intake of nutrients in the morning is responsible for providing us with energy for the rest of the day. According to nutritionists, the morning meal should be light and full of essential nutrients such as protein, iron and fiber. A balanced meal in the morning provides many benefits to our body and mind.

Apart from providing strength to start our day, breakfast helps in boosting metabolism and balancing the blood sugar level. It is also necessary to control body weight. However, due to busy mornings, we often skip breakfast or treat ourselves to tea or any snack. But there are plenty of quick and healthy options out there that you can grab in the morning without being late for work. Salads are one of those dishes that are packed with all the required nutrients and can be prepared within no time.

Here are five easy salad recipes that you can whip up for breakfast:

Chickpeas are rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, and are good for bones, heart, and mental health. Simply mix boiled chickpeas with some chopped vegetables and spices and add a few drops of lemon juice. You can also add crumbled paneer to make it even healthier.

We all know the benefits of starting the day with sprouts. Soak black chana and green mung dal in water. Let it germinate for at least two days. After it is cooked, drain the water and mix it with onions, tomatoes, salt, spices and lemon juice. Garnish with some chopped coriander leaves and enjoy.

If you are tired of eating boiled eggs in the morning, turn them into a flavorful salad. Cut the boiled eggs into small pieces with the onions and coriander leaves and mix them with mayonnaise, salt, black pepper and cloves. You can also make it spicy by adding some cayenne pepper.
