HEALTHY BREAKFAST ON THE GO

This is the 1st Column. We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast is the first meal of a day, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day’s work.Breakfast foods widely from place to place, but often include a carbohydrate such as grains or cereals, fruit, vegetables, a protein food such as eggs, meat or fish, and a beverage such as tea, coffee, milk, or fruit juice.

This is the 2nd Column.Among English speakers, “breakfast” can be used to refer to this meal or to refer to a meal composed of traditional breakfast foods (such as eggs, porridge and sausage) served at any time of day. Coffee, milk, tea, juice, breakfast cereals, pancakes, waffles, sausages, French toast, bacon, sweetened breads, fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, baked beans, muffins, crumpets and toast with butter, margarine, jam or marmalade are common examples of Western breakfast foods, though a large range of preparations and ingredients are associated with breakfast globally. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, current research has shown that people who skip breakfast are likely to have problems with metabolism, weight, and cardiac health.

The base is a continental breakfast with a variety of pastries with or without fillings (marmalade, chocolate, cheese, ham, nuts, poppy) and fermented milk products (yogurt, soured milk, soured cream). Cold cuts, such asprosciutto, ham, salami, kulen, bacon, and various cheeses, are also favored.

I always have breakfast on the go, I prepare a chia pudding a night before, put some fresh fruit on top and pack it in a container. - John Doe

Fried eggs or omelet and Vienna sausage with mayonnaise, mustard or ajvar are very often consumed. In continental parts cottage cheesewith soured cream and some spices is traditional. Coffee is much preferred over tea (mostly herbal tea).
