Let’s find out some disturbing food items that we usually take for breakfast, which we should not take.

Pancakes and waffles

Pancakes have a lot of sugar, fat, and calorie. It doesn’t include protein, vitamins, and fiber at all. Undoubtedly, it will keep you full instantly but you will be hungry in some time. Then you will end up eating more food which is unhealthy.

Regardless of this, if you still want to have pancakes as your breakfast, try making it with whole grains and use nut butter for the topping.

Toast

Toast is most of our’s breakfast since birth. We eat butter and toast every day for breakfast unknowingly that how harmful it is for our health.

Muffins

It is a myth that muffins are a healthy breakfast choice for all ages people.
This is a huge misconception. Muffins are made of refined white flour, oil, and loads of sugar, offering little in the way of protein or fiber.

One normal size muffin contains around 400 calories. however, if you want to add muffins, then please go with whole grains muffins which are low in sugar.

Fruit juice

Many people consider fruit juice as the healthiest option for breakfast. Undoubtedly fruits are amazing when it comes to health. But, you should have fruits in proper time, fruits have high acids. If you have fruits on empty stomach then you will face the gas problem.

Another important thing we must not forget is that fruits contain a lot of sugar which may not require for our body every day.

Although you can have fruits thrice a week. It is a still better option than refined sugar.

Pastries

This small little thing tastes amazing, that is the only reason most of us like to start our day with pastry.

Pastries have zero nutritional values. Donuts, cinnamon rolls, danishes, and toaster pastries are filled with calories and sugar, these are super unhealthy food one can think of.

You have to have 2-3 pastries to feel full. Even that also can not make you full for long. You will end up hungry before lunchtime.

Including this food only once in a while is ok health-wise, but not more than that.

Except for these items, you can pick whole food items, protein bars.

Although if you go for less flavored and fewer quantity biscuits, then it won’t bother you.

Pre-made smoothies are very harmful, smoothies that contain sugar are harmful. Even if you use too much milk and protein powder, the smoothie will turn out unhealthy. Always remember ‘ less is more.

Rather you can make your smoothie with spinach, fruits, and veggies.
