SUPER SEEDS FOR A SUPER BREAKFAST

Don't you want to start the day with a delicious and nutritious breakfast? Do you sometimes get tired of traditional muesli, toast, or fruit? Do you have other ideas for easy preparation? We at ZELEN know the secret quick ingredients in the healthy diet of anyone with a busy daily life!

 

SUPERFOODS?

We know that superfoods offer more health benefits than ordinary foods due to their high content of specific nutrients – vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, proteins, and others. In other words, superfoods, even in small quantities, are a good solution for meeting the body's daily needs.
A wonderful base for a light and nutritious breakfast – sounds perfect for starting the day, right?

Today, we focus on 2 superfoods that you can easily find in organic stores
and even more easily integrate into your menu. 🙂

HEMP SEEDS
Complete protein, iron, magnesium, and a complex of omega-3,6 and 9 fatty acids – hemp seeds contain all of this and have an extremely delicate and unobtrusive taste. And do you know the best part? They don't need additional processing, and you can enrich any food with a single sprinkle! Try them in muesli, soups, salads, sauces, spreads, and desserts.


Breakfast idea? Green smoothie with 4 ingredients – 1 frozen banana, 2 handfuls of pineapple chunks, 3 handfuls of spinach, and 3 tbsp. hemp seeds. Blend everything, adding water for easier mixing. Of course, you can always substitute the fruits with those you prefer.





CHIA
A rich source of Omega-3, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and minerals, chia seeds effectively energize the body. They are a preferred ingredient in athletes' diets as they help maintain physical tone and endurance. Their ability to gel in liquids is why these seeds soothe the stomach and support normal peristaltic functions.

Breakfast idea? It is precisely the gelling effect that makes chia a suitable addition to plant-based milks, smoothies, or yogurt – easily turning them into delicate, thick, and nutritious creams. We leave it up to you to decide whether to add sweetener, fruits, or nuts.

The secret to a quick breakfast in the morning is to prepare it the night before! We offer you the following tried-and-tested 2-step recipe:


1. In a teacup with yogurt, nut, or plant-based milk, stir 2-3 tbsp. chia seeds and leave the mixture in the refrigerator overnight. If you prefer the cream sweet, add a sweetener of your choice – honey, sugar, agave syrup, maple syrup, coconut nectar, or other.

2. In the morning, all you have to do is enjoy the prepared cream. We like to sprinkle it with a spoon of hemp seeds, black sesame, or nuts and an abundant amount of fresh seasonal fruit chunks. How do you prefer it?
